Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
I don't think so because I don't see anyone riding bikes regularly. Umm, cars are more popular instead of bikes. I think bikes are more popular in countries such as Holland. I think I like to. I like to stuff are more popular, such as electronics.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Cevabınız soruya doğrudan yanıt veriyor ve bisikletinizin renginden bahsettiğiniz için kişisel bir detay içeriyor. Ancak “rise” yerine “ride” kullanılmalı; “I wasn't real good” yerine “I wasn't very good” daha doğal olur. “I improved myself by time” ifadesi doğal değildir; bunun yerine “I gradually improved over time” denmelidir. Cevabınızı “but” veya “although” gibi bağlaçlarla daha akıcı hâle getirebilirsiniz.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. My father bought me a pink bike when I was about seven. I learned to ride it a little later than my friends, so I wasn’t very good at first. However, I gradually improved over time and really enjoyed cycling around my neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 42.0Sugerencia: Ana fikriniz anlaşılabilir; ancak son cümleler tamamlanmamış ve anlam açısından belirsizdir. “Cars are more popular instead of bikes” yerine “Cars are more popular than bikes” kullanılmalı. “Holland” yerine ülke adı olarak “the Netherlands” daha uygun olabilir. Görüşünüzü bir neden ve örnekle destekleyin; ayrıca elektronik eşyalarla ilgili anlaşılmayan kısmı çıkararak cevabı doğrudan bisikletlerin popülerliği üzerine kurun.
Ejemplo: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because I rarely see people using them for transportation. Cars are much more common, especially in large cities, where people often travel long distances. However, cycling is becoming more popular in some areas because it is environmentally friendly and good for people’s health.
× I wasn't real good at it, but I improved myself by time.
✓ I wasn't really good at it, but I improved over time.
The adverb really is needed to modify the adjective good. Real is an adjective, so it cannot correctly modify good in this sentence. Also, the standard expression is over time, not by time.
× I wasn't real good at it, but I improved myself by time.
✓ I wasn't really good at it, but I improved over time.
The preposition by is incorrect in this expression. Use over time to describe gradual improvement. Improved myself is grammatically possible, but improved is more natural here because the speaker is describing a change in ability.
× Umm, cars are more popular instead of bikes.
✓ Umm, cars are more popular than bikes.
When comparing two things with the comparative form more popular, use than, not instead of. Instead of means in place of and does not introduce the second object in a direct comparison.
× I think I like to.
✓ I think electronic devices are more popular.
This sentence is incomplete and does not express a clear idea. The phrase like to must be followed by a verb, but no meaningful verb follows it here. A complete sentence with a subject, verb, and clear meaning is needed.
× I like to stuff are more popular, such as electronics.
✓ I think electronic devices are more popular.
The original sentence has an incorrect structure because like to stuff cannot function as the subject of the sentence. It also contains an unnecessary repetition of the idea. Use a clear noun phrase, such as electronic devices, followed by the verb are.
