Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Soruyu doğrudan yanıtlamışsınız; ancak aynı fikri iki kez tekrarlamışsınız. “I didn’t have a bike” ve “I didn’t use to ride a bike” ifadelerinden birini kullanın. Ayrıca “because of my fear” yerine neyden korktuğunuzu belirterek daha doğal ve açıklayıcı olun; örneğin bisiklete binmekten korktuğunuzu söyleyip kısa bir neden ekleyebilirsiniz.
Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because I was afraid of falling off. I usually walked or took the bus instead.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 48.0Sugerencia: “In some parts of my country” ile doğrudan yanıt vermeniz iyi; ancak “riding bike” ifadesinde “a” eksik ve “andexpensive” yazımı hatalı. Ayrıca bisikletin hem kolay hem de pahalı olduğunu söylemek, popüler olma gerekçesi olarak çelişkili görünüyor. “Inexpensive” demek istediyseniz bu sözcüğü kullanın; ardından bisiklet yolları veya trafik gibi konuyla ilgili somut bir ayrıntı ekleyin.
Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are popular in some parts of my country because they’re an easy and inexpensive way to get around. They’re especially useful in busy cities, where traffic can be heavy.
× No, I didn't have a bike, I didn't use to ride a bike because of my fear.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike, and I didn't use to ride one because of my fear.
The original sentence joins two independent clauses with only a comma, creating a comma splice. Join them with a coordinating conjunction such as and, or separate them into two sentences.
× In some parts of my country, bikes are popular because riding bike is an easy andexpensive way to get around the city
✓ In some parts of my country, bikes are popular because riding a bike is an easy and expensive way to get around the city.
Bike is a singular countable noun here, so it needs an article. Use a before bike. Also, add a space between and and expensive.
