Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 45.0Sugerencia: Answer in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Avoid repeating words, and use the natural phrase “my older brother bought it for me.” You could add one specific detail about how you used the bike.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My older brother bought it for me, and I used to ride it around our neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 5.0Sugerencia: You have repeated part of the examiner’s question instead of answering it, and the wording is unclear. State your opinion directly, then support it with a specific reason or example. Useful phrases include “Yes, they’re quite popular” and “because they’re an affordable way to get around.”
Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people use them for short trips because they’re affordable and convenient, especially in busy cities.
× Yes, I have a bike which is bought by by my older brother.
✓ Yes, I had a bike that was bought by my older brother.
The question asks about your childhood, so use the past tense had rather than have. The bike was bought in the past, so use was bought rather than is bought. Use by only once.
× Do you think about a popular in your country?
✓ I think bikes are popular in my country.
The original sentence is phrased as a question and does not give a clear answer. To respond to the examiner, use a statement. Bikes is the subject, are popular is the verb phrase, and in my country tells where they are popular.
