Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Answer directly and use accurate past-tense grammar. Say “when I was a child,” not “when I was child,” and use “used to ride,” not “used to riding.” Also, replace “when I get leisure time” with the more natural phrase “in my free time.” Add one specific detail about where you rode or how you felt to make the answer more engaging.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends, especially in my free time after school. It was a great way to have fun and get some exercise.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: Give a clear opinion first, then support it with a specific reason or example. Use “almost every child has a bike” instead of “almost each children have their bikes,” and say “a fun way to spend time with friends” rather than “a fun way to entertain with friends.” You could also mention where people ride bikes or another practical benefit, such as exercise or avoiding traffic.
Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children and teenagers. Almost every child has a bike because cycling is an inexpensive way to have fun and exercise. Many people also ride their bikes in parks or around their neighborhoods with friends.
× Yes, I had a bike when I was child I used to riding a bicycle with my friends around the yard, especially when I get leisure time.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to riding a bicycle with my friends around the yard, especially when I get leisure time.
The singular countable noun child requires an article. Use a before child because you are referring to one nonspecific child—you.
× Yes, I had a bike when I was child I used to riding a bicycle with my friends around the yard, especially when I get leisure time.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride a bicycle with my friends around the yard, especially when I get leisure time.
Used to is followed by the base form of a verb, not the -ing form. Therefore, use used to ride, not used to riding.
× Yes, I had a bike when I was child I used to riding a bicycle with my friends around the yard, especially when I get leisure time.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride a bicycle with my friends around the yard, especially when I got leisure time.
The answer describes a past period in your childhood, so the verb in the when-clause should be in the past tense: got. For more natural English, you could also say when I had free time.
× Yeah, I think bikes are quite common in my country these days because almost each children have their bikes today and I think it's a fun way to entertain with friends.
✓ Yeah, I think bikes are quite common in my country these days because almost each child has their bike today and I think it's a fun way to entertain with friends.
Each is followed by a singular countable noun. Therefore, children must be changed to child. Remember to use a singular noun after each.
× Yeah, I think bikes are quite common in my country these days because almost each children have their bikes today and I think it's a fun way to entertain with friends.
✓ Yeah, I think bikes are quite common in my country these days because almost each child has their bike today and I think it's a fun way to entertain with friends.
The subject each child is singular, so the present-tense verb must take the third-person singular form has, not have. Check the subject before choosing the verb form.
