Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Ответ дан прямо, но есть небольшая проблема с логикой времени: вопрос относится к детству, поэтому фраза “I have a new bike now” уводит ответ в настоящее время. Лучше сначала описать велосипед в детстве, а затем, если нужно, добавить короткое сравнение с настоящим. Используйте более естественную формулировку “I had a bike when I was a child” и добавьте конкретную деталь, например, где вы катались или как часто использовали велосипед.
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends, especially at weekends. I still have a bike now, but I use it mainly for exercise.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: В ответе есть хорошая идея-сравнение между страной и городом, но нужно исправить грамматику и сделать структуру яснее. Используйте “I think bikes are popular” вместо “I think yes bikes are popular”, “they aren’t as popular” вместо “I think are not so popular”, а также “my city doesn’t have any bike lanes” вместо ошибочного “doesn't don't have any bikes roads”. Свяжите противопоставление и причину словами “however” и “because”, а затем добавьте конкретное объяснение, например отсутствие безопасной инфраструктуры.
Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. However, they aren’t as common in my city because there aren’t many bike lanes or safe cycling routes. As a result, most people prefer to travel by car or public transport.
× I think yes bikes are popular in my country but I think are not so popular in my city because my city doesn't don't have any bikes roads.
✓ I think that bikes are popular in my country, but I think that they are not so popular in my city because my city doesn't have any bike roads.
The sentence structure is incomplete in I think are not because the subject they is missing. After think, use a complete clause: I think that they are not. The conjunction but correctly connects the two contrasting ideas. Also, doesn't don't contains two negative auxiliary forms; only doesn't should be used before the base verb have.

✓ I think that bikes are popular in my country, but I think that they are not so popular in my city because my city doesn't have any bike roads.
The present-tense negative form is incorrect because doesn't and don't are used together. For the singular subject my city, use doesn't + the base form of the verb: my city doesn't have. Do not add don't after doesn't. Grammar problem type ID: 6.
