Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 75.0Sugerencia: Answer directly and support your response with a clear reason and example, as you have done. However, “corridors” is not the natural word for roads in this context; use “roads” or “streets.” Also, say “I mostly used it on a few quiet streets,” rather than “used it only a few quiet streets.” Avoid the slight redundancy between “rarely rode it” and “mostly used it.”
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but I rarely rode it because the roads near my house were in poor condition and felt unsafe. I usually rode it on a few quiet streets when my parents came with me to supervise.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 35.0Sugerencia: Give a clear answer at the beginning and complete your final sentence. Avoid repeating “In my country” and correct the word choice and grammar: use “ride-hailing services” or “ride-sharing services,” not “ride cheer”; say “bikes are most common among children under ten,” not “many people bikes are mostly common in the age group for lesser than ten years.” Use linking words such as “however” and provide one specific reason or example.
Ejemplo: No, bikes are not particularly popular in my country. Most people travel by car or bus, or use ride-hailing services, because these options are more convenient for commuting. However, bicycles are fairly common among children under ten, who usually ride them for fun in parks or quiet residential areas.
× I mostly used it only a few quiet streets or when my parents came with me to supervise.
✓ I mostly used it on a few quiet streets or when my parents came with me to supervise.
The preposition on is used with streets when describing where someone rides or travels. We say ride on a street, not ride a street. However, used it only is also more natural as usually used it on.
× In my country bikes are very uncommon and many people bikes are mostly common in the age group for lesser than ten years because they are used for fun or for
✓ In my country, bikes are very uncommon, and they are mostly used by children under ten because they are used for fun or exercise.
The phrase many people bikes is not a correctly structured noun phrase. The sentence should use a clear subject, such as they or children's bikes. Also, the original sentence ends with for, so it is incomplete. Complete the phrase with a noun such as exercise.
× In my country bikes are very uncommon and many people bikes are mostly common in the age group for lesser than ten years because they are used for fun or for
✓ In my country, bikes are very uncommon, and they are mostly used by children under ten because they are used for fun or exercise.
For is not the correct preposition before an age group in this context. Use among children under ten or by children under ten. The expression under ten means younger than ten years old.
× In my country bikes are very uncommon and many people bikes are mostly common in the age group for lesser than ten years because they are used for fun or for
✓ In my country, bikes are very uncommon, and they are mostly used by children under ten because they are used for fun or exercise.
Lesser than is not the natural expression for describing a person's age. Use under ten or younger than ten. Under ten is the most concise and idiomatic choice.
