Did you have a bike when you were a child?
スコア: 68.0提案: Answer directly, then add one relevant detail. Avoid repeating yourself and reduce fillers such as “um” and “uh.” Use “ride a bicycle” or “ride my bike,” and make the time reference more natural by saying “every week as a child.”
例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it every week, usually around my neighbourhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
スコア: 62.0提案: Give your opinion clearly and explain it with a specific reason. Say “cycle lanes” or “bike paths” instead of “bicycle roads,” and use “the Netherlands.” To make the comparison clearer, explain what people there can do that is harder in Turkey. Avoid fillers and the vague phrase “opportunities about bicycles.”
例: I don’t think bikes are very popular in Turkey, mainly because many cities don’t have enough safe cycle lanes. My dad lives in the Netherlands, where cycling is much more convenient, and I wish we had similar facilities here.
× I used to I used to ride bicycle uh every week when I was a little kid.
✓ I used to ride a bicycle every week when I was a little kid.
Use the indefinite article a before the singular countable noun bicycle. The repeated I used to is a spoken repetition, so it has been removed for clarity rather than treated as a grammar error.
× But my dad lives in Netherlands and um I wish we had the same opportunities that they have about bicycles.
✓ But my dad lives in the Netherlands, and I wish we had the same opportunities that they have about bicycles.
The country name Netherlands is conventionally used with the definite article the. Remember to say the Netherlands.
× I wish we had the same opportunities that they have about bicycles.
✓ I wish we had the same opportunities for cycling that they have.
About does not naturally express the activities or facilities available for cycling in this context. Use for, as in opportunities for cycling.
