Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly, then explain what happened and its result. Correct the grammar: say “when I was a child,” not “when I were a child.” Use “it” for the bike, and make the sequence of events sound natural with “After it was stolen, I never bought another one.”

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. Unfortunately, it was stolen from our apartment building, so I never bought another one. I can still ride a bike, though.

Sugestão: Give a clear overall opinion and support it with one or two specific reasons. Avoid repeating “in my country,” replace “bike ways” with “cycle lanes,” and complete your final idea instead of ending with “because.” You could explain how safer infrastructure might encourage more people to cycle.

Exemplo: I wouldn’t say bikes are very popular in my country. Traffic is often heavy, and there aren’t enough cycle lanes for people to ride safely. Cycling seems more common in wealthier areas, where the roads and facilities are better. I think it would become more popular if cities built safer bike lanes.

× I had a bike when I were a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

Use was with the subject I in the simple past. Were is used with you, we, and they, or in certain hypothetical constructions. Check that the past form of be agrees with its subject.

× There is not much uh, bike ways to ride safely.

✓ There are not many bike paths to ride on safely.

Use are before a plural noun such as bike paths. In a there be construction, the verb agrees with the noun that follows it. Also, bike paths is a more natural term than bike ways.

× There is not much uh, bike ways to ride safely.

✓ There are not many bike paths to ride on safely.

Bike paths are countable plural nouns, so use many rather than much. Use much with uncountable nouns, such as traffic.

× But in rich areas probably it's more common thing.

✓ But in rich areas, probably it's a more common thing.

The singular countable noun thing needs an article. Use a before more common thing because it refers to one nonspecific thing.

× But I think it should get more popular in our country because.

✓ But I think it should get more popular in our country.

Because introduces a dependent clause that needs a reason to complete the sentence. Since no reason follows, remove because or add the reason after it.
