Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Ответ дан напрямую, но есть несколько грамматических и лексических ошибок. Используйте правильное выражение “at that time” вместо “for that times”, а также говорите “grateful to my parents”, а не “grateful for my parents”. Фраза “for buying me a cool bike” звучит немного повторяющейся и не добавляет много информации; лучше указать, когда или где вы катались. Свяжите идеи естественно с помощью “because” или “and”.
Exemplo: Yes, I did. My parents bought me a really cool bike when I was about eight, and I was extremely grateful to them. I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 72.0Sugestão: Ответ хорошо отвечает на вопрос и содержит две причины, но некоторые выражения звучат неестественно. Вместо “in the delivery fields” лучше сказать “among delivery workers” или “for delivery services”. Поскольку речь идет о велосипедах во множественном числе, используйте “they can be convenient”, а не “it can be convenient”. Добавьте более конкретный пример и замените “live not far from university” на более естественное “live near their university”.
Exemplo: Yes, they’re quite popular, especially among delivery workers and students. Bikes are convenient for people who live near their university because they are inexpensive and help them avoid traffic. However, many people still prefer public transport for longer journeys.
× I had a really cool bike for that times and.

The singular demonstrative that must be used with the singular noun time. The plural form times is incorrect in this expression. Learn common time expressions such as at that time and at those times.
× I had a really cool bike for that times and.
✓ I had a really cool bike at that time.
The preposition at is used in the fixed expression at that time. The preposition for is not appropriate here. Memorize common preposition-and-time combinations, such as at that time, in those days, and during my childhood.
× I had a really cool bike for that times and.
✓ I had a really cool bike at that time.
The word and is left at the end of the sentence without connecting to another clause, so the sentence is incomplete and structurally incorrect. Remove and unless you continue with another complete idea.

✓ I was so grateful to my parents for buying me a cool bike.
The adjective grateful is followed by the preposition to when referring to the person who receives your gratitude. The phrase for buying me a cool bike correctly explains the reason for your gratitude. Use grateful to someone for something.
× Also, it can be convenient for students who live not far from university.
✓ Also, they can be convenient for students who do not live far from the university.
The pronoun they must refer to the plural noun bikes. The singular pronoun it does not agree with this plural antecedent. Make sure pronouns agree with the nouns they replace in number.

The specific institution is expressed as the university, so the definite article the is needed. Use the before a singular countable noun when both the speaker and listener understand which specific place is meant.
