Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Answer directly, but use the past tense consistently: say “I didn’t have” rather than “I do not have.” You could add a brief reason or explain how you got around as a child.
Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I usually walked to school, which was quite close to my home.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: Your answer is clear and includes a supporting detail. To make it more specific, mention where or why people use bikes. “All of my friends” may sound too broad, so consider saying “most of my friends.”
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them to work or school because they’re an affordable and convenient way to get around. Most of my friends know how to ride one.
Grammar
× No, I do not have a bike when I was a child.
✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a child.
The question asks about a past period, indicated by 'when you were a child.' Use the past-tense auxiliary 'did' with the base verb 'have' to describe not having a bike then. In negative past-tense statements, do not use 'do not.'
