Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: Rispondi subito, evitando di ripetere “when I was a child”. Elimina l’esitazione “uh” e usa il past simple (“bought”), perché non è necessario il past perfect in questo contesto. Puoi aggiungere un dettaglio concreto su come usavi la bici.
Exemplo: Yes, I did. My grandmother bought me a bike for my birthday, and I used to ride it around our neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Esprimi la tua opinione in modo diretto e organizza le idee con un connettivo, per esempio “because” e “however”. Correggi “not so much bicycle paths” in “not many bike paths”, “go around” in “get around” e “bicycle friend city” in “bike-friendly city”. Specifica anche il contrasto tra il tuo Paese e Copenaghen; dividi la risposta in frasi per evitare una frase troppo lunga.
Exemplo: Bikes aren’t very popular in my country because there aren’t many bike paths, so most people drive to get around. However, I visited Copenhagen last month, and it was the most bike-friendly city I’ve ever seen.
× In my country bikes are not that famous because there are not so much bicycle paths, so people prefer to use the car to go around but last month I was in Copenhagen and it was the most bicycle friend city
✓ In my country bikes are not that famous because there are not so many bicycle paths, so people prefer to use the car to go around. But last month I was in Copenhagen, and it was the most bicycle-friendly city.
Bicycle paths are countable plural nouns, so use many rather than much. Use many with plural countable nouns and much with uncountable nouns.
× In my country bikes are not that famous because there are not so much bicycle paths, so people prefer to use the car to go around but last month I was in Copenhagen and it was the most bicycle friend city
✓ In my country bikes are not that famous because there are not so many bicycle paths, so people prefer to use the car to go around. But last month I was in Copenhagen, and it was the most bicycle-friendly city.
Bicycle friend is not the correct adjective phrase. Use bicycle-friendly to describe a city that is suitable for or welcoming to cyclists. The hyphen joins the words to form a compound adjective before city.
