Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Cevap kısa ve doğrudan; fakat daha doğal ve detaylı bir cevap vererek puanı yükseltebilirsiniz. Bir konu cümlesiyle başlayıp, bisikletten neden hoşlandığınız, ne zaman kullandığınız veya bir anınızı kısaca ekleyin. Bağlaçlar kullanarak cümleleri birbirine bağlayın (for example, because, so). Ayrıca tek cümlelik cevaplar yerine 2–3 cümle söylemeye çalışın.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike that I used to ride around my neighborhood when I was eight. I loved it because it gave me freedom and I often rode it to visit my friends after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 40.0Sugerencia: Cevap anlaşılıyor ama dilbilgisi ve kelime seçimi hatalı; ayrıca dağınık ve kısa. Düşüncenizi net bir konu cümlesiyle ifade edin, sonra gerekçeler verin ve uygun bağlaçlar kullanın (because, so, however). Sokakların kalabalık olduğunu ve güvenlik veya altyapı eksiklikleri gibi spesifik nedenler ekleyin. Araya gereksiz sesler koymayın ve daha düzgün cümle yapıları kurun.
Ejemplo: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country, especially in Istanbul, because the streets are extremely crowded and traffic can be dangerous. As a result, many people prefer cars or public transport rather than cycling, and there is also limited cycling infrastructure in the city.
× No, I don't think because uh, Istanbul very crowded and, uh, very. Really angry.
✓ No, I don't think so because Istanbul is very crowded and stressful.
The sentence has multiple issues: 1) Missing filler 'so' after 'I don't think' to complete the expression meaning 'I don't think bikes are popular.' This is fixed by 'I don't think so'. This maps to sentence structure and incorrect word usage which is categorized here as incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs because adjectival descriptions were used improperly ('very. Really angry' is ungrammatical). 2) Missing verb 'is' in the clause 'Istanbul very crowded' — a copular verb is required (related to 'there be' and subject-verb agreement); corrected by adding 'is'. 3) The phrase 'Really angry' is inappropriate to describe a city; 'angry' is an adjective for people, not for a city; replaced with 'stressful' which appropriately describes the environment. Suggestion: Use 'I don't think so because Istanbul is very crowded and stressful.' Keep subject-verb 'Istanbul is' and choose adjectives that suit the noun. Also avoid sentence fragments and filler hesitations in formal responses.
