It's because it is useful for all the men around and girls around because, uh, usually everyday they, uh, it will help them to, uh, go to their office, go to their job, uh, go to their workplace. Uh, and it is instead using a car bike is more useful because, uh, they can't write.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: Your answer is clear and directly answers the question, but “I had no bike” is less natural than “I didn’t have a bike.” Add one specific reason or brief detail to make the response more developed. For example, you could explain that your parents did not buy you one or that you preferred another activity.
Exemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was unsafe to ride on the busy roads near our home. Instead, I usually played football with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 42.0Sugestão: Give your opinion at the beginning, such as “Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country.” Then explain why using clear linking words such as “because” and “also.” Avoid repetition of “go to their office, go to their job, go to their workplace,” excessive fillers, and unclear phrases such as “they can’t write.” Use “ride a bike” rather than “write a bike,” and use “people” instead of “men and girls” when referring to everyone. Mention a specific benefit, such as saving money, avoiding traffic, or being environmentally friendly.
Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in large cities. Many people ride them to work because they are affordable and help them avoid traffic jams. In addition, cycling is a healthy and environmentally friendly alternative to driving.
× It's because it is useful for all the men around and girls around because, uh, usually everyday they, uh, it will help them to, uh, go to their office, go to their job, uh, go to their workplace.
✓ Bikes are popular because they are useful for men and women. They help people go to their offices, jobs, or workplaces every day.
The original sentence does not directly answer the question and contains an unclear structure with repeated because clauses. Use a clear subject, such as bikes, followed by the reason they are popular. Also, use they for bikes instead of switching between they and it. The present tense is appropriate because the question asks about a general situation.
× It's because it is useful for all the men around and girls around because, uh, usually everyday they, uh, it will help them to, uh, go to their office, go to their job, uh, go to their workplace.
✓ Bikes are useful for men and women because they help people go to their offices, jobs, or workplaces every day.
Bikes are plural, so the correct pronoun is they, not it. Keep the pronoun consistent with its antecedent. Also, people is a clearer general pronoun than repeating men and girls.
× It's because it is useful for all the men around and girls around because, uh, usually everyday they, uh, it will help them to, uh, go to their office, go to their job, uh, go to their workplace.
✓ Bikes are useful because they help people go to their offices, jobs, or workplaces every day.
The question asks about a general fact, so use the present tense help rather than the future form will help. Use the present simple when describing regular benefits or habits.
× Uh, and it is instead using a car bike is more useful because, uh, they can't write.
✓ Bikes are more useful than cars for some people because they are convenient for traveling to work.
The original sentence joins several ideas without a correct grammatical connection. Use the comparative structure more useful than to compare bikes and cars, and use a complete clause after because. The wording they can't write appears to be an incorrect word choice; in this context, ride or travel is appropriate.
× Uh, and it is instead using a car bike is more useful because, uh, they can't write.
✓ Instead of using a car, some people use a bike because it is convenient for traveling to work.
Use instead of before a noun or gerund phrase: instead of using a car. The original phrase instead using a car is missing of. Remember the pattern instead of + noun or verb-ing.
