Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: 문법적으로 ‘I was have’가 아니라 ‘I had’를 사용해야 하며, 나이를 말할 때는 ‘when I was seven years old’라고 표현해야 합니다. 또한 자전거 자체가 무서운 것이 아니라 자전거를 타는 경험이 무서웠다는 의미라면 ‘Riding it was scary’라고 말하는 것이 자연스럽습니다. 질문에 직접 답한 뒤, 구체적인 경험이나 감정을 한 문장 덧붙이면 더 효과적인 답변이 됩니다.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was seven years old. Riding it was a little scary at first, but it was also a lot of fun. I remember practicing in a park near my house.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: ‘the bike are’는 ‘bikes are’로 고쳐야 하며, ‘my country people’과 ‘take a bike’는 자연스럽지 않으므로 ‘people in my country ride bikes’라고 표현하는 것이 좋습니다. ‘자전거가 인기 있다’는 의견을 먼저 제시한 뒤, 아침에 운동이나 출퇴근을 위해 자전거를 탄다는 구체적인 이유를 연결어와 함께 설명하세요. ‘because’ 뒤에는 누가, 언제, 왜 자전거를 타는지 명확하게 말하면 답변의 내용이 더 풍부해집니다.
Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them in the morning for exercise, and some use them to commute to work. They are especially common in parks and along rivers.
× Yes, I was have a bike in seven years old.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was seven years old.
The question asks about a past experience, so the simple past form had is needed. The phrase was have is grammatically incorrect because was cannot be used directly before the base verb have in this sentence.
× Yes, I was have a bike in seven years old.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was seven years old.
In is not used before an age. Use the clause when I was seven years old to describe a person's age.
× It was very scared, but it's funny.
✓ It was very scary, but it was fun.
Scared describes a person's feeling, while scary describes something that causes fear. Funny usually means humorous, whereas fun is the appropriate adjective for an enjoyable activity or experience.
× It was very scared, but it's funny.
✓ It was very scary, but it was fun.
The answer describes a childhood experience, so the verbs should remain in the past tense. Replace the present-tense contraction it's with the past-tense form it was.
× Yes, I think the bike are popular in my country because my country people take a bike in the morning.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because people in my country use bikes in the morning.
When speaking about bicycles in general, use the plural noun bikes rather than the singular noun bike. The plural form also matches the general meaning of the sentence.
× Yes, I think the bike are popular in my country because my country people take a bike in the morning.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because people in my country use bikes in the morning.
This sentence does not require a third-person singular verb because the subject is the plural noun bikes. Therefore, are is correct only with the plural subject bikes, not with the singular noun bike.
× Yes, I think the bike are popular in my country because my country people take a bike in the morning.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because people in my country use bikes in the morning.
My country people is not the correct word order for describing people who live in a country. Use people in my country, with the preposition in before the country phrase.
