Yes, there are a lot of bikers in the city. It's actually like a sport.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
スコア: 65.0提案: Answer directly, then briefly explain why you did not learn. Use “ride a bike,” not “write a bike.” Also, “I was a lost case” is unnatural here; say “I found it difficult” or “I never got the hang of it.” Use punctuation or a linking word to make the contrast clear.
例: No, I didn’t. My father tried to teach me once, but I found it difficult and never got the hang of riding a bike.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
スコア: 65.0提案: Give a clear answer and support it with a specific detail. “Bikers” can refer to motorcyclists, so use “cyclists” if you mean people who ride bicycles. Explain what makes cycling popular or where people tend to ride.
例: Yes, cycling is quite popular in my country, especially in the cities. Many people ride bikes for exercise, and you can often see them cycling in parks or along dedicated bike lanes.
× No I didn't, although once my father tried to teach me but I was a lost case and just never learned how to write a bike.
✓ No, I didn't. Once my father tried to teach me, but I was a lost case and just never learned how to write a bike.
Although and but both signal contrast, so using them together in the same construction is redundant. Remove although or but; here, but is retained to connect the contrasting ideas.
