Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Yes, I do think bikes are popular in my country, though it is more popular with the kids. I often see a lot of kids race through their blocks but I don't see many blocks in traffic since in my country bike riders don't really get the respect they need in traffic.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 82.0Sugestão: Cevabınız soruya doğrudan yanıt veriyor ve geçmiş alışkanlığınızı açıklıyor. Ancak “a lot” ifadesi iki kez kullanıldığı için kelime tekrarı oluşuyor. Ayrıca cevabı daha etkili hâle getirmek için bisiklet sürerken ne yaptığınızı veya nerelere gittiğinizi belirten kısa ve özgül bir detay ekleyebilirsiniz. “When I was a kid” yerine “during my childhood” gibi daha doğal bir ifade de kullanılabilir.
Exemplo: Yes, I did. I used to ride my bike around my neighborhood, especially in the evenings. I really enjoyed exploring nearby streets and playing with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Genel fikir ve karşılaştırma başarılı olsa da bazı dilbilgisi ve kelime seçimi sorunları var. “Bikes” çoğul olduğu için “they are more popular” denmeli; “kids race through their blocks” yerine “children ride around their neighborhoods” daha doğal olur. “I don't see many blocks in traffic” anlam açısından yanlış; burada muhtemelen “I don't see many cyclists in traffic” demek istediniz. Cevabı iki net noktaya ayırmak için “However” veya “because” gibi bağlaçlar kullanın ve trafik güvenliği sorununu daha açık ifade edin.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children. However, I do not see many adults cycling on busy roads because drivers do not always respect cyclists. As a result, many people prefer to ride in parks or on quiet streets.
× Yes, I do think bikes are popular in my country, though it is more popular with the kids.
✓ Yes, I do think bikes are popular in my country, though they are more popular among children.
Bikes is a plural noun, so it cannot be used to refer to it. Use the plural pronoun they and the plural verb are. Among children is also a more natural expression than with the kids in this context.
