Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Cevabınız soruya doğrudan yanıt veriyor ve bisikletin rengini belirterek ayrıntı ekliyor. Ancak “my sister and me” yerine “my sister and I” kullanılmalı; geçmişten söz ederken “I loved bikes” ve “was pink and purple” denmelidir. “Uh” tekrarlarını azaltın ve cümleyi daha doğal hâle getirmek için “for my sister and me” ifadesini kullanın. Ayrıca “because” ile başlayan yapı yerine önce net bir konu cümlesi kurmanız cevabın temel yapısını güçlendirir.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. My parents knew that my sister and I loved riding bikes, so they bought us one with pink and purple colors. I really enjoyed riding it around our neighborhood.

Sugerencia: Cevabınız anlaşılır ve bir neden içeriyor; ancak son bölüm olan “so bikes are not” eksik ve doğal değildir. “People in my country” ifadesinden önce “the” kullanılmamalı, “use buses or their personal cars” denmelidir. Cevabı “No, they aren’t very popular” gibi doğrudan bir konu cümlesiyle başlatın ve nedenleri bir bağlaçla açıklayın. Daha etkili olmak için trafik, güvenlik veya bisiklet yollarının yetersizliği gibi ülkenize özgü bir ayrıntı ekleyebilirsiniz.

Ejemplo: No, bikes aren’t very popular in my country. Most people prefer to take buses or drive their own cars because cycling can be unsafe, and there aren’t enough dedicated bike lanes. However, cycling is becoming more common among young people.

× Sure, because my parents, uh, knew that I love bikes and they, uh, bought a bike that is pink and purple, uh, my sister and me.

✓ Sure, because my parents knew that I loved bikes, and they bought a bike that was pink and purple for my sister and me.

The verb loved should be in the past tense because the sentence describes what your parents knew when you were a child. The verb was should also agree with the past time reference. When reporting a past belief or thought, use the past form when appropriate: knew that I loved.

× They bought a bike that is pink and purple, uh, my sister and me.

✓ They bought a bike that was pink and purple for my sister and me.

The preposition for is needed to show who the bike was intended for. Use buy something for someone, not buy something someone.

× The people in my country prefer to use bus or personal cars.

✓ People in my country prefer to use buses or personal cars.

Buses is plural because the sentence refers to buses in general. A plural countable noun is usually used when speaking generally about a type of vehicle.

× People in my country prefer to use bus or personal cars.

✓ People in my country prefer to use buses or personal cars.

The singular countable noun bus cannot normally be used without an article. In this general statement, the plural form buses is more natural and avoids the need for an article.

× Unfortunately they are not popular because the people in my country prefer to use bus or personal cars, so bikes are not.

✓ Unfortunately, they are not popular because people in my country prefer to use buses or personal cars, so bikes are not popular.

The final clause is incomplete because are not needs a complement. Add popular to complete the meaning: bikes are not popular. A complete sentence needs all the necessary parts of the predicate.
