Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 52.0Sugerencia: Відповідайте в минулому часі, оскільки запитання стосується дитинства: використайте “I had”, а не “I have”. Також перед словом, що починається з голосного звука, потрібно вжити “an”, а не “a”. Додайте одну конкретну деталь, наприклад, якого кольору був велосипед або де ви на ньому каталися.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had an orange bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 38.0Sugerencia: Почніть із чіткої відповіді: “No, they aren’t very popular” або “Yes, they are quite popular”. Уникайте конструкції “No bike … is not popular”, бо подвійне заперечення робить відповідь незрозумілою. Уточніть, що саме відбувається у вашій країні, і наведіть коротку причину або приклад, використовуючи зв’язку “because”.
Ejemplo: No, bikes aren’t very popular in my country. Most people prefer to travel by car or public transport because the roads can be busy.
× Yes, I have a orange bike.
✓ Yes, I had an orange bike.
The question asks about the student's childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Change have to had.
× Yes, I have a orange bike.
✓ Yes, I had an orange bike.
Use an before orange because orange begins with a vowel sound. The article a is used before consonant sounds.
× No bike in my country is not popular.
✓ No, bikes in my country are not popular.
The answer refers to bikes in general, so use the plural noun bikes and the plural verb are.
× No bike in my country is not popular.
✓ No, bikes in my country are not popular.
The initial No should answer the examiner's yes-or-no question, so it needs to be separated from the rest of the sentence with a comma. Avoid the resulting double negative, which changes the meaning.
