Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Cevabınız soruya doğrudan yanıt veriyor ve kardeşinizle bisiklet sürdüğünüzü belirtiyor. Ancak cevap tamamlanmamış ve bazı ifadeler doğal değil: “How can I handle it?” yerine “how to handle it”, “road it” yerine “ride it” kullanılmalı. “He he” gibi tekrarları ve “And like this step by step, I have” gibi tamamlanmamış ifadeleri kaldırın. Cevabı 3–4 cümleyle tamamlayarak kardeşinizin size nasıl yardım ettiğini ve bisiklete binmeyi neden sevdiğinizi açıklayın.
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I often rode it with my brother. He taught me how to balance and ride safely, so I gradually became more confident. We usually cycled around our neighborhood at weekends, and I really enjoyed spending time outdoors.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Ana fikriniz anlaşılabiliyor, ancak zaman ve kelime seçimlerinde önemli hatalar var. Genel bir durumdan bahsettiğiniz için “It was very popular nowadays” yerine “They are very popular nowadays” veya “Cycling is becoming increasingly popular” kullanın. “Bike cycling roads and lines” yerine “dedicated cycle lanes and bike paths”, “relative traffic conjunction” yerine “heavy traffic congestion” denmelidir. Cevabı yarıda bırakmak yerine, bisikletlerin popüler olmasının iki nedenini ve bunun sonucunu açıkça belirtin; “because”, “also” ve “as a result” gibi bağlaçlar kullanabilirsiniz.
Example: Yes, definitely. Cycling is becoming increasingly popular in my country because many cities are building dedicated cycle lanes and bike paths. In addition, heavy traffic and rising fuel prices encourage people to use bikes for short journeys. As a result, more people are choosing cycling as a convenient and environmentally friendly means of transport.
× Sometimes he told me how can I handle it?
✓ Sometimes, he told me how I could handle it.
In indirect speech, the question word is followed by a subject and verb in statement order: how I could handle it, not how can I handle it. The modal verb can also changes to could because the reporting verb told is in the past tense.
× How can I handle it?
✓ How I could handle it
After a past reporting verb such as told, can normally changes to could in indirect speech. Also, an indirect question does not use the question word order can I; it uses the statement order I could.
× How can I road it?
✓ and how I could ride it
This is an indirect question, so the word order should be how I could ride it. The verb ride is also needed because road is not the correct form of the verb in this context.
× And like this step by step, I have
✓ He taught me step by step.
The original sentence ends with I have and does not express a complete idea. A complete sentence needs a finished verb phrase and a clear meaning. He taught me step by step correctly completes the idea.
× It was very popular nowadays
✓ Bikes are very popular nowadays
The answer refers to bikes in general, so the plural noun bikes is required. The plural subject also needs the plural verb are.
× It was very popular nowadays
✓ Bikes are very popular nowadays
Nowadays refers to the present, so the past-tense verb was is incorrect. Use the present-tense verb are to describe the current popularity of bikes.
× because of bike cycling roads and lines make it more popular
✓ because bike lanes and cycling roads make them more popular
Because of must be followed by a noun or noun phrase, not a complete clause with a subject and a verb. Because is needed before the clause bike lanes and cycling roads make them more popular.
× therefore people turn to
✓ therefore, people turn to bikes
The phrasal verb turn to requires an object in this context. Adding bikes completes the sentence and clearly explains what people choose because of traffic congestion.
