Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
I think bikes are popular in my country, but bicycle paths are not respected in my country so much so I think that keeps people from using bikes.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 40.0Sugestão: Cevabınızın sınav formatına uygun, doğrudan ve doğal bir yanıt içermesi gerekiyor. Şu an sadece soruyu tekrar etmişsiniz; bu nedenle puan düşük. İyileştirmek için açık bir konu cümlesi verin (evet/ hayır), ardından 1–2 kısa destekleyici cümle ekleyin. Bağlaçlar (for example, when, because) kullanarak cevap akışını sağlayın ve gereksiz tekrarları kaldırın. Maksimum 5 cümleyle sınırlı kalın.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was about seven. I used it almost every day to ride around my neighborhood with friends. Because our street was quiet, I felt safe practicing new tricks, and those memories made biking a big part of my childhood.

Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Cevabınız doğrudan ve anlaşılır ama biraz tekrarlı ve uzun cümle yapısı var. Daha doğal ve etkili olmak için cümleleri bölün, bağlaçlar (however, but, because, so) daha uygun biçimde kullanın ve daha spesifik bir örnek veya sebep ekleyin. Ayrıca 'in my country' ifadesini sürekli tekrar etmeyin; yerine zamir veya farklı yapı kullanın. 3-4 cümleyle görüş, neden ve bir örnek verin.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in cities. However, many people are discouraged from cycling because bike lanes are often blocked by cars. For example, last month I saw a cyclist forced onto a busy road because the cycle path was occupied, which made the ride unsafe.
× Did you have a bike when you were a child?
✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?
The sentence is already correct. It properly uses a past simple question form 'Did you have' to ask about possession in the past. No grammatical change is needed.
× I think bikes are popular in my country, but bicycle paths are not respected in my country so much so I think that keeps people from using bikes.
✓ I think bicycles are popular in my country, but bicycle lanes are not respected enough, so I think that keeps people from using bicycles.
There are several issues: word choice and sentence flow. 'Bikes' and 'bicycles' are both correct, but using 'bicycles' avoids repetition awkwardness; 'bicycle paths' is acceptable, but 'bicycle lanes' is more natural in this context. 'Are not respected in my country so much' is awkward and unidiomatic; use 'are not respected enough' for clarity. Also add a comma before 'so' to separate clauses. Suggestions: prefer consistent vocabulary (bikes or bicycles), use 'enough' for negative degree, and separate clauses with punctuation for readability.
