Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Answer directly, then add one specific detail, such as who taught you or where you rode. Avoid repeating the opening idea and the final “Yeah.” Use past tense consistently: say “I had a bike” rather than “I have a bike,” and reduce fillers such as “um.”
Exemplo: Yes, I did. My parents taught me how to ride when I was about six, and I used to ride my bike around our neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 42.0Sugestão: Give a complete, direct answer and use correct subject–verb agreement: “bikes are popular” and “they help.” Organize your reasons with a linking word, and make the example more specific. Avoid repeating words and fillers; finish with a clear sentence.
Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are convenient and inexpensive. They also give people an easy way to exercise and relax, especially when riding in parks or along rivers.
× I also have a bike at that time.
✓ I also had a bike at that time.
The sentence refers to a time in the past, so use the past-tense form had rather than the present-tense form have.
× I think it quite it quite popular because it convenient.
✓ I think bikes are quite popular because they are convenient.
The original clause is missing the linking verb are in both places, and it quite is repeated. Use a complete subject–verb structure, such as bikes are quite popular and they are convenient.
× It ... help people people do exercise and relax.
✓ It ... helps people exercise and relax.
When the subject is it, the verb in the present simple takes -s, so help should be helps. Also, exercise is more natural than do exercise in this sentence.
× I think ride bike.
✓ I think riding bikes is a good way to exercise and relax.
The original ending is not a complete sentence: ride bike does not form a complete clause after I think. Use a complete clause, such as riding bikes is a good way to exercise and relax.
