Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Be more grammatically accurate and reduce hesitation. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler sounds (uh, um) and correct verb choices (e.g., "ride" not "writing").
Exemplo: Yes. I had a bicycle when I was a child. My aunt bought it for me so I could ride to school when my parents were busy, and I often rode it with friends after classes, which was a fun way to exercise and socialise.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 48.0Sugestão: Organise your answer into a clear statement and support it with specific details, using linking words to connect ideas. Avoid unclear or incorrect words (e.g., "ubiquitous" used wrongly here) and complete your sentences. Try to give a contrast between past and present with examples.
Exemplo: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country. In the past, older people mainly used bikes to get around and keep fit, but nowadays many young people also cycle for commuting and leisure because cities are becoming more bike-friendly and cycling is cheaper than driving.
× Yeah, I owned a bike when I was a little girl.
✓ Yeah, I had a bike when I was a little girl.
Use 'had' rather than 'owned' in conversational past when referring to possessing something as a child; 'owned' is correct but sounds formal and less natural in this context. Use simple past 'had' to match question tense and register.
× My aunt bought it for me, uh, to ride to school when, uh, there was no one in my family can uh, take me to school.
✓ My aunt bought it for me to ride to school when no one in my family could take me to school.
The original mixes 'there was' with 'can' which is ungrammatical. Use 'no one in my family could' to express past inability. Remove unnecessary 'there' and 'was' and change 'can' to past 'could' to match past timeframe.
× And I enjoy writing the bike with my friends after class.
✓ And I enjoyed riding the bike with my friends after class.
Incorrect verb 'writing' should be 'riding'. Also the action happened in the past, so use past tense 'enjoyed'. Use the verb + -ing form 'riding' when describing the activity.
× I just buy a quiet ubiquitous in my country, umm uh, in the past, just old people use bike uh, to travel around the city, umm, because they would like to uh, combine the exercise to uh, and travel uh, but now more and more young.
✓ Bicycles used to be very common in my country. In the past, only older people used bikes to travel around the city because they wanted to combine exercise with transportation, but now more and more young people use them.
Original sentence is ungrammatical and contains wrong word choices: 'buy a quiet ubiquitous' is nonsense. 'Used to be' expresses past habit. Change 'just old people use bike' to 'only older people used bikes' for correct plural and past tense. 'Combine the exercise to and travel' should be 'combine exercise with transportation'. Finish the contrasting clause 'but now more and more young people use them' to be complete and grammatical.
