Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 43.0Sugestão: Your answer responds to the question, but it ends before you finish explaining what happened. The year is unclear, so state it only if you are sure. Avoid fillers such as “uh” and the repetition in “gave me a bike to me.” Say “gave me a bike for my birthday” and add one relevant detail about how you felt or used it.
Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was in primary school. My father gave me a brand-new one for my birthday, and I was excited to ride it around my neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: You give a clear opinion and a relevant reason, but several phrases sound unnatural. Say “cycling is popular among adults and children,” “go cycling with their loved ones,” and “along the roads beside the Hangang River.” Use a linking phrase such as “because” or “for example” to make the explanation easier to follow.
Exemplo: Yes, cycling is quite popular in my country among both adults and children. Many people go for rides with their loved ones to relieve stress, especially along the paths beside the Hangang River.
× In 1919 five, my father gave me a brand new bike to me for my uh birthday present.
✓ When I was five, my father gave me a brand-new bike as a birthday present.
The sentence uses both the indirect object me and the phrase to me, which repeats the recipient. Use one construction: gave me a bike or gave a bike to me. As a birthday present is also the natural phrasing. The opening phrase In 1919 five is unclear; if you mean your age, say When I was five.
× Yes, I think in my country riding a bike is so popular for both adults and children because to relieve their stress they enjoy a biking with their loved one, especially a roads near the Hangang River.
✓ Yes, I think riding a bike is very popular among both adults and children in my country because they enjoy biking with their loved ones to relieve stress, especially on roads near the Hangang River.
Use popular among when describing a group of people. The original uses for, which is not the appropriate preposition in this context. Also, on roads is the natural phrase for describing where people ride.
× They enjoy a biking with their loved one.
✓ They enjoy biking with their loved ones.
Enjoy is followed by a gerund, the -ing form of a verb. Do not use the article a before biking when it refers to the activity in general.
× They enjoy a biking with their loved one.
✓ They enjoy biking with their loved ones.
The sentence refers generally to adults and children enjoying time with their partners or family members, so the plural loved ones is more appropriate than the singular loved one.
× Especially a roads near the Hangang River.
✓ Especially on roads near the Hangang River.
Roads is plural, so it cannot be preceded by the singular article a. Use roads without an article when referring to roads generally.
