Candidato
I don't think so. Bikes are not popular in my country because in here a lot of people prefer taking another vehicles like cars, motorcycles or public transportation.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 82.0Sugerencia: Your answer responds directly and gives a clear personal detail. To sound more natural, replace “my mom and my dad” with “my parents.” You could also add one brief detail about how you used the bike.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. My parents bought me my first bike when I was five, and I used to ride it around our neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: You give a clear opinion and a reason, but correct “in here” to “here” and “another vehicles” to “other forms of transport.” Use a linking phrase such as “because” or “for example,” and consider adding a specific detail or a contrast. Avoid repeating “popular” and “not popular.”
Ejemplo: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Many people prefer other forms of transport, such as cars, motorcycles, or public buses, because they are more convenient for longer journeys.
× Bikes are not popular in my country because in here a lot of people prefer taking another vehicles like cars, motorcycles or public transportation.
✓ Bikes are not popular in my country because a lot of people here prefer taking other forms of transportation, such as cars, motorcycles, or public transportation.
In this context, use here rather than in here. Here is an adverb of place and does not need the preposition in. Place here after people for a natural word order.
× Bikes are not popular in my country because in here a lot of people prefer taking another vehicles like cars, motorcycles or public transportation.
✓ Bikes are not popular in my country because a lot of people here prefer taking other forms of transportation, such as cars, motorcycles, or public transportation.
Another is used with a singular countable noun, so another vehicles is incorrect. Because the sentence refers to multiple options, use other with a plural noun, or use other forms of transportation.
