Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Candidato
No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought that it was too dangerous for me to ride a bike because there was a very busy Rd. in front of our house. They think it was too dangerous, but I do. But I did learn how.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Yes, cycling is quite popular in some big cities like Guangzhou where I live, because people think it is convenient and it can avoid traffic jams. Plus it can be environmentally friendly.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: 你直接回答了问题,也给出了原因,但重复使用了“because”和“too dangerous”,影响表达的简洁度。“They think it was too dangerous, but I do”意思不清,建议改为过去时并明确转折关系,例如说明父母不让你骑车,但你后来还是学会了。最后补全“learn how”后面的内容,说明学会了骑车。
Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because my parents thought it was too dangerous to ride on the busy road in front of our house. However, I learned how to ride one later.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 82.0Sugerencia: 回答切题,理由也具体,使用了“because”和“Plus”连接观点。可以把“it can avoid traffic jams”改成更自然的表达,说明骑车能让人避开拥堵;另外,“environmentally friendly”描述骑车本身时可改为“it’s an environmentally friendly way to travel”。
Ejemplo: Yes, cycling is quite popular in large cities like Guangzhou, where I live. It’s convenient because cyclists can avoid traffic jams, and it’s also an environmentally friendly way to travel.
× They think it was too dangerous, but I do.
✓ They thought it was too dangerous, but I didn't.
这段话是在回忆童年,因此描述父母当时的想法应使用过去时:将“think”改为“thought”。后半句也应使用过去时,并补出与前文相对应的“think it was too dangerous”,所以用“didn't”代替“do”。
