Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Correct the tense: because you are talking about childhood, use “did” or “had,” not “do have.” Answer directly, then add one specific detail, such as how you used the bike or who gave it to you.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red one, and I used to ride it around the park near my home.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 40.0Sugerencia: Give a clear answer, then organize your explanation with a linking phrase such as “However” or “One reason is that.” Avoid fillers like “you know,” correct “when it comes on” to “when it comes to,” and finish the thought clearly—for example, explain that parked cars block bike lanes. Keep the response concise and use specific details.
Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially for short trips. However, there aren’t enough usable bike lanes because some drivers park their cars in them, making cycling less safe and convenient.
× Yes, I do have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The question asks about a past period, and the clause when I was a child also refers to the past. Use the simple past had instead of the present-tense form do have.
× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country however, we don't have enough bike lanes here because you know, some people are not really disciplined when it comes on parking their cars and so that the bike lanes are being.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country. However, we don't have enough bike lanes here because, you know, some people are not really disciplined when it comes to parking their cars, so bike lanes are often blocked by parked cars.
The fixed expression is when it comes to, not when it comes on. Use to before the gerund parking. Remember this expression as a set phrase: when it comes to + noun or -ing form.
× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country however, we don't have enough bike lanes here because you know, some people are not really disciplined when it comes on parking their cars and so that the bike lanes are being.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country. However, we don't have enough bike lanes here because, you know, some people are not really disciplined when it comes to parking their cars, so bike lanes are often blocked by parked cars.
And so that is not the right connector here. Use so or and so to show the result of people parking carelessly. Avoid joining two complete thoughts with however using only a comma; begin a new sentence with However, or use an appropriate coordinating conjunction.
× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country however, we don't have enough bike lanes here because you know, some people are not really disciplined when it comes on parking their cars and so that the bike lanes are being.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country. However, we don't have enough bike lanes here because, you know, some people are not really disciplined when it comes to parking their cars, so bike lanes are often blocked by parked cars.
The final clause, the bike lanes are being, is incomplete because being needs a past participle or another complement. Complete the idea with a phrase such as are being blocked, or use a complete alternative such as are often blocked. Also, use a full stop before However to separate the independent clauses.
