Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Yeah, I think that almost everyone has a bike when they're young, and when I was young I had a pink bike, which is given by my father's friend. But when I grew older, I was too big to write that bike, so I just stopped that.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
수험생
Yeah, of course. And especially nowadays we have sharing bikes, which allows people just to scan a QR code and then they can rent a bike just like hailing a taxi, something like that. And when they finish using a bike, they just put it back on the street.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
점수: 75.0제안: Answer the question directly, then add a few specific details. Use the past tense consistently: “was given” instead of “is given.” Also, the correct expression is “ride a bike,” not “write a bike,” and “stopped riding it” is more natural than “stopped that.” Avoid generalizations such as “almost everyone” unless they are necessary.
예시: Yes, I had a pink bike when I was a child. It was given to me by one of my father’s friends, and I was really excited to ride it around my neighborhood. However, I eventually outgrew it and stopped riding it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
점수: 82.0제안: The answer is relevant and includes a specific example, but improve grammatical accuracy and natural phrasing. Use “which allow people” because “bikes” is plural, and say “rent a bike as easily as taking a taxi” rather than comparing it to “hailing a taxi.” Replace the vague ending “something like that” with a clear explanation, and use “return it to a designated area” instead of “put it back on the street.”
예시: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially in large cities. In recent years, shared-bike services have become common because people can simply scan a QR code and rent a bike within seconds. After using one, they can return it to a designated area, which makes cycling a convenient and affordable way to travel.

The sentence describes receiving the bike in the past, so the passive verb should be in the past tense: was given, not is given. Use was or were when describing completed events in the past.

The relative pronoun which refers to the plural noun sharing bikes, so the verb must also be plural: allow, not allows. Make sure the verb agrees with the noun that which refers to.
