Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Utilisez le passé pour parler de votre enfance : « Yes, I did » au lieu de « Yes, I do ». Évitez la répétition de « I have » et remplacez « they were so good » par une description plus précise, comme « they were reliable » ou « they were great for riding around my neighborhood ». Reliez les idées dans une réponse fluide et ajoutez un souvenir concret pour développer votre réponse.
Example: Yes, I did. I had one bike when I was a child, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends. It was quite basic, but I have very fond memories of it because it gave me a lot of freedom.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Répondez avec une phrase d’introduction claire, puis expliquez pourquoi les vélos sont populaires. Corrigez les erreurs de grammaire : « in Indonesia », « everyone ... has », et « throughout their lives ». Remplacez « can like practice this hobby and make it as sport hobby » par une formulation naturelle comme « can practise cycling and even take part in cycling competitions ». Utilisez des mots de liaison tels que « because » et « in addition » pour organiser vos idées.
Example: Yes, definitely. Bikes are quite popular in Indonesia because they are affordable and convenient for short journeys. In addition, many people cycle for exercise, and some even take part in cycling competitions, so it is both a practical means of transport and a popular sport.
× Yes, I do.
✓ Yes, I did.
The question refers to the past, as shown by when you were a child. Therefore, use the past form did instead of the present form do.
× I have one or two bikes and they were so good.
✓ I had one or two bikes, and they were very good.
Because you are talking about your childhood, use the past tense had instead of the present tense have. The verb were is already correctly used in the past tense.
× And I have really good memories with them.
✓ And I have really good memories of them.
The usual preposition after memories when referring to people or things is of, not with. The phrase memories of them is the natural expression.
× Everyone here Indonesia at least have one bike through all their lives
✓ Everyone here in Indonesia has at least one bike at some point in their lives.
Use the preposition in before Indonesia to indicate location. The phrase at some point in their lives is more appropriate than through all their lives because people do not necessarily own the same bike throughout their entire lives.
× Everyone here Indonesia at least have one bike through all their lives
✓ Everyone here in Indonesia has at least one bike at some point in their lives.
Everyone is grammatically singular, so the verb must be has, not have. Remember that singular indefinite pronouns such as everyone, someone, and nobody take a singular verb.
× also we do have competitions where people can like practice this hobby and make it as sport hobby.
✓ We also have competitions where people can practice this hobby and make it a sport.
Use the indefinite article a before the singular countable noun sport. The natural expression is make it a sport, not make it as sport hobby. Also, like is unnecessary in this sentence and can be omitted for clearer speech.
