Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly using the past tense: “I had a pink bike.” Correct “when I were” to “when I was” and “my sister teach” to “my sister taught.” Reduce fillers such as “uh” and “umm,” and use a linking word to connect the details.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a pink bike when I was about ten years old. My father bought it for me, and my sister taught me how to ride it.

Sugestão: Give a clear direct answer, and correct the grammar: say “bikes are not as popular” rather than “bikes ... not popular as much.” Use “the USA” and “the UK,” remove repeated fillers, and connect your reason in a complete sentence. Add one specific detail to explain how traffic affects cycling.

Exemplo: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in Azerbaijan compared with the USA or the UK. There is a lot of traffic and many cars, so people may feel that cycling is less safe or convenient.

× I have a pink bike when I were a child.

✓ I had a pink bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a past childhood experience, so use the past-tense verb had instead of have. Use was with the singular subject I in this past-tense clause.

× My sister teach me how to ride a bike.

✓ My sister taught me how to ride a bike.

This describes something that happened in the past, so teach must change to its irregular past-tense form, taught.

× Bikes in my country not popular as much as in, for example, in USA or UK.

✓ Bikes in my country are not as popular as they are in, for example, the USA or the UK.

The original clause is missing the linking verb are. A complete present-tense sentence needs a verb connecting the subject, bikes, to the description, not popular.

× Bikes in my country not popular as much as in, for example, in USA or UK.

✓ Bikes in my country are not as popular as they are in, for example, the USA or the UK.

To compare popularity, use the pattern not as + adjective + as: not as popular as. Do not place much between as and the adjective in this construction.

× Bikes in my country not popular as much as in, for example, in USA or UK.

✓ Bikes in my country are not as popular as they are in, for example, the USA or the UK.

Use the before the names the USA and the UK. These country names conventionally include the definite article.

× In Azerbaijan there is a lot of traffic and cars.

✓ In Azerbaijan, there is a lot of traffic, and there are many cars.

Use there is with the singular or uncountable noun phrase a lot of traffic, and use there are with the plural count noun phrase many cars. Separating the two ideas makes the agreement clear.
