Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 40.0Sugerencia: Répondez directement, puis expliquez brièvement ce qui s’est passé. Utilisez le passé pour raconter cet événement : « I fell off » signifie « je suis tombé de mon vélo ». La partie « I get under » n’est pas claire ; précisez si vous vous êtes blessé. Enfin, dites « my mother banned me from using it » ou, plus naturellement, « my mother wouldn’t let me ride it anymore ». Évitez les hésitations et limitez votre réponse à deux ou trois phrases.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a small bike when I was a child. One day, I fell off it and got hurt, so my mother wouldn’t let me ride it anymore.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Votre réponse établit une comparaison pertinente entre le centre-ville et les villages, mais elle ne répond pas tout à fait à la popularité des vélos dans l’ensemble du pays. Commencez par une réponse générale, puis ajoutez cette comparaison. Remplacez « riding by a bicycle » par « riding bicycles » ou « cycling », et évitez les répétitions de « city center » ainsi que les hésitations. Vous pouvez aussi préciser pourquoi les habitants des villages utilisent davantage le vélo.
Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in some parts of my country, especially in smaller towns and villages. In the city center where I live, people tend to use cars or buses because the roads are busy. However, outside the city, cycling is more common.
Gramática
× When I fall down while riding this bike, I get under.
✓ When I fell down while riding this bike, I got hurt.
The speaker is describing a childhood event, so the verbs should be in the past tense: fall becomes fell, and get becomes got. Got hurt is a natural way to express that the speaker was injured.
× My mother banned to use this bike again.
✓ My mother banned me from using this bike again.
The verb ban is followed by an object and from + a gerund: ban someone from doing something. Use me from using, not to use.
× You can see people riding by a bicycle.
✓ You can see people riding on a bicycle.
Use on, not by, to describe the vehicle a person is riding. Alternatively, you can say riding bicycles without a preposition.
