Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Answer directly, then describe the bike using natural phrasing. “A red color bike” is awkward; say “a red bike.” You could also add one specific detail about how you used it.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a red bike when I was a child. It had sporty rims, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 65.0Sugerencia: Make your comparison clearer and use “many” rather than “much” with countable nouns like “bikes.” Specify whether you mean bicycles or motorbikes, and briefly explain the difference you have noticed.
Ejemplo: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in Sri Lanka, especially for short trips. I’m living in Malaysia now, though, and I don’t see as many people cycling here.
× Yes, I did own a bike when I was a child and it was a red color bike with sport rims.
✓ Yes, I did own a bike when I was a child, and it was a red bike with sport rims.
In this context, red color bike is not a natural adjective phrase. Use red directly to describe the bike; color is unnecessary. You could also say a red-colored bike.
× Yeah, very much. In Sri Lanka they are very popular, but I'm in Malaysia now and I don't see any bikes that much.
✓ Yeah, very much. In Sri Lanka they are very popular, but I'm in Malaysia now and I don't see many bikes.
Bikes is a plural count noun, so that much is not the appropriate quantifier. Use many with plural count nouns, or say I don't see bikes very often if you mean that you rarely see them.
