Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Ответ дан прямо, и подарок на день рождения — уместная деталь. Однако фраза «I like to ride it so much my father gave it to me» звучит так, будто любовь к велосипеду стала причиной подарка, и в рассказе о детстве лучше использовать прошедшее время. Сформулируйте естественную связь между подарком и тем, как часто вы катались; например, используйте «because» или «I used to».
Example: Yes, I did. My father gave me a bike for my sixth birthday, and I used to ride it almost every day.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: Начните с прямого ответа, затем объясните причину. Уберите заполнители «uh» и обязательно завершите мысль: фраза «people in my country usually use» требует дополнения. Также можно сказать «the weather is too cold» вместо неестественного здесь «not warm enough for it» и уточнить, каким транспортом люди пользуются.
Example: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because the weather is often too cold for cycling. As a result, most people prefer to travel by car or public transport.
Grammar
× I like to ride it so much my father gave it to me for my 6th birthday.
✓ I liked to ride it so much my father gave it to me for my 6th birthday.
The student is describing a childhood experience and says that the bike was given to them in the past. Therefore, liked is more consistent than like. Use the past tense when describing a preference that motivated a past event.
