Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Você respondeu de forma direta, o que é bom, mas a resposta está muito curta e não mostra vocabulário ou detalhes. Para melhorar, adicione uma sentença tópica e pelo menos uma ou duas frases de apoio com detalhes específicos (por exemplo, que tipo de bicicleta, quando você a ganhou, o que fazia com ela). Use conectores simples para ligar as ideias.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that I received when I was seven, and I used it every weekend to ride around the neighborhood. Because it had training wheels at first, my parents helped me learn, and by the time I was nine I could ride it confidently to visit friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 75.0Sugerencia: A resposta é clara e relevante, mas contém hesitações e uma repetição (“to to”) e falta de exemplos específicos. Para melhorar, remova hesitações, use um motivo ou comparação e acrescente um exemplo concreto (por exemplo, razões de popularidade, diferenças entre cidades). Use conectores como “because” ou “for example”.
Ejemplo: Yes, they are very popular because many people find cycling economical and convenient. For example, in larger cities many commuters use bikes to avoid traffic, and students often cycle to school since bicycles are cheap and easy to park.
× Yes, very much. Uh, a lot of people use bikes every day to to go to work or to go to school.
✓ Yes, very much. Uh, a lot of people use bikes every day to go to work or to go to school.
The sentence contains an accidental repetition of the infinitive marker 'to' ('to to go'), which is a sentence structure error and can be categorized under Sentence structure errors (ID 26). Remove the extra 'to' so the infinitive 'to go' appears only once. Suggestion: proofread spoken or transcribed speech to remove repeated words, and when forming infinitives use a single 'to' followed by the base verb (to go).
