Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 65.0Sugerencia: Your answer directly addresses the question, but it simply repeats the question and gives no supporting detail. Add one specific memory, such as how often you rode the bike or where you used it.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school, especially at weekends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 45.0Sugerencia: Make your opinion clearer and use the plural subject “bikes” rather than “it.” Avoid the unclear phrase “there is not like commonly used”; instead, give a specific reason or example, and use a linking word such as “because.”
Ejemplo: I don’t think bikes are very popular in Egypt, especially for commuting. This may be because many people rely on cars or public transport, and some areas don’t have convenient cycling lanes.
× I think it is not commonly used here in Egypt.
✓ I think they are not commonly used here in Egypt.
The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to bikes, which is plural. Use they and the plural verb are to agree with bikes.
× Not quite sure why but there is not like commonly used.
✓ I am not quite sure why, but they are not commonly used.
The original clause there is not like commonly used is not grammatically complete: there is does not introduce a clear subject, and like is used incorrectly here. Use they as the subject and are not commonly used to describe bikes. Adding I am also makes the first clause a complete sentence.
