Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Yeah, actually I think so. When I'm walking around my city or any other city in my country, I very often see people that are riding their bikes and I think it's really popular in my country.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Сначала дайте прямой ответ, затем кратко поясните, почему велосипед вам не подошёл. Исправьте времена: используйте “it had” вместо “it has” и “I rode” вместо “I ride”; вместо ошибочного “staid” скажите “stayed”. Избегайте запинок и повтора “ride on it”; уточните, что это был детский велосипед с дополнительными колёсами.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It had four wheels, including two training wheels, but I still found it difficult to ride. I only rode it once, and after that it stayed in the garage because I preferred walking.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Ответьте прямо и подкрепите мнение более конкретной деталью или причиной, например упомяните поездки на работу или велодорожки. Сократите повтор “I think” и избегайте громоздкого “my city or any other city in my country”. Для общего наблюдения используйте Present Simple: “I often see people riding bikes”, а не “people that are riding their bikes”.
Ejemplo: Yes, I’d say bikes are quite popular in my country. I often see people cycling around the city, especially during rush hour. They’re a convenient and affordable way to get around, and some cities have built more bike lanes in recent years.
× It was it has uh four wheels.
✓ It had four wheels.
The speaker is describing the bike in the past, so use the past-tense form had. The phrase It was it has is an unfinished false start; give the sentence one clear verb.
× I ride on it only once.
✓ I rode on it only once.
The sentence refers to a single occasion in the past. Use rode, the past tense of ride. When telling a story about past events, keep the main verbs in the past tense.
× Then it was just staid and I didn't use it.
✓ Then it just stayed, and I didn't use it.
Use stayed, the past tense of stay. Was stayed would incorrectly form a passive construction here; the bike itself remained unused, so use the active form it stayed.
