Did you have a bike when you were a child?
점수: 90.0제안: La respuesta es directa, natural y está bien estructurada. Para hacerla más precisa, usa “handlebars” en lugar de “handles”, ya que esa es la palabra correcta para referirse al manubrio de una bicicleta. También puedes añadir un detalle breve sobre cuándo la usabas o cómo te sentías al usarla.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
점수: 85.0제안: La respuesta presenta una opinión clara y una comparación útil entre la ciudad y el campo. Para mejorar la naturalidad, di “It depends on where you are”, “In cities” y “ride bikes” en lugar de “ride the bikes”. Además, coloca un conector más claro, como “However,” al inicio de la segunda idea, y especifica por qué las bicicletas son útiles en el campo.
예시: It depends on where you are. In cities, bikes aren’t very popular because heavy traffic makes cycling dangerous and inconvenient. However, in the countryside, many people use them as a practical means of transportation, especially for short trips.
× It was a pink bike with some ribbons in its handles.
✓ It was a pink bike with some ribbons on its handlebars.
The preposition in is incorrect because the ribbons are attached to the outside of the handlebars. Use on for objects attached to or placed on a surface. Also, handlebars is the natural word for the parts used to steer a bicycle.
× It depends where you are.
✓ It depends on where you are.
The verb depend is normally followed by the preposition on before a noun, pronoun, or clause. Therefore, use depends on where you are.
× It is very difficult to ride the bikes with all the traffic.
✓ It is very difficult to ride bikes with all the traffic.
The plural noun bikes refers to bicycles in general, not to specific bicycles previously identified. For general plural nouns, do not use the definite article the. Use ride bikes instead of ride the bikes.
