Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: You answer directly and give relevant details, but correct the past-tense verbs: use “turned,” “learned,” and “practised.” The phrase “my older brother had me” is unclear; say that he “helped me” or “taught me.”

Exemplo: Absolutely. When I turned six, my parents bought me a bicycle, and that was when I learned to ride. I practised in the park near our house, and my older brother helped me until I felt confident.

Sugestão: Your answer is clear, relevant, and supported with a useful example. To make it more precise, replace “a lot of them” with “many cyclists” or “lots of bicycles,” and add a comma before “so.”

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they’re affordable and convenient for short trips around the city. For example, many students and office workers cycle to school or to the train station, so you often see lots of bicycles in busy areas.

× When I turn 6 my parents bought me a bicycle and that is when I learn to ride.

✓ When I turned six, my parents bought me a bicycle, and that was when I learned to ride.

The sentence describes events that happened in childhood, so the verbs should be in the past tense. Use turned, was, and learned rather than turn, is, and learn.

× I practice in the park near our house and my older brother had me until I felt confident.

✓ I practiced in the park near our house, and my older brother had me until I felt confident.

Practiced should be in the past tense because it describes a childhood activity. Had is already in the past tense, so it is not changed here.
