Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Yanıtınızda “chair” sözcüğü konu dışı ve muhtemelen dil sürçmesi; ayrıca “I had a bike” ifadesini tekrarlıyorsunuz. Soruyu doğrudan yanıtlayıp bisikletin kimin tarafından alındığını doğru edilgen yapıyla belirtin: “which was bought for me.” Akıcılığı artırmak için duraksamaları ve tekrarları azaltın.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My grandfather bought it for me, and I loved riding it around my neighborhood.

Suggestion: Fikrinizi anlaşılır biçimde belirtiyorsunuz ve neden sunuyorsunuz; ancak çok sayıda “uh” ve tekrar akıcılığı azaltıyor. “There was” yerine genel durumu anlatan “there are” kullanın; “safe bicycle roads” yerine daha doğal olan “safe bike lanes” ifadesini tercih edin. Neden-sonuç bağlantısını kısa ve net kurun.

Example: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. There aren’t enough safe bike lanes, so many people feel that cycling on the roads is dangerous.

× Yes, I had a chair, I had a bike when I was a child, uh, which bought for me by my grandfather.

✓ Yes, I had a chair. I had a bike when I was a child, which was bought for me by my grandfather.

The clause describes the bike as the thing that someone bought, so it requires the passive form was bought. In the past passive, use was or were + the past participle. Here, use was bought because the bike is singular.

× Yes, I had a chair, I had a bike when I was a child, uh, which bought for me by my grandfather.

✓ Yes, I had a chair. I had a bike when I was a child, which was bought for me by my grandfather.

The original joins two independent clauses with only a comma, creating a comma splice. Separate them with a period, or connect them with a conjunction. When speaking, pause between complete thoughts and avoid joining them with a comma alone.

× No, uh, I don't think that, uh, bicycles, bikes, uh, are popular in my country because, uh, there was, uh, there is no, uh, safe bicycle, uh, roads.

✓ No, I don't think bicycles are popular in my country because there are no safe bicycle roads.

Use there are with the plural noun phrase no safe bicycle roads. The original uses there is, which does not agree with the plural noun roads. Use the present form here because the answer describes the current situation.
