Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Geçmişteki bir alışkanlık veya sahiplikten bahsettiğiniz için “have” yerine “had” kullanın. “As far as I remember” ifadesi burada uygundur; yanıtınızı daha etkili kılmak için bisikleti ne zaman ya da nerede kullandığınıza dair kısa ve belirgin bir ayrıntı ekleyin.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood, especially at weekends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 35.0Sugestão: Soruyu doğrudan yanıtlayın ve “I think bikes are not very popular in Turkey” gibi doğal bir ifade kullanın. “Uh” ve tekrarlanan “with” gibi dolgu ve tekrarları azaltın. Hollanda ile karşılaştırmanız iyi bir fikir; ancak “but in Turkey due to” ile başlayan cümle tamamlanmamış, bu nedenle Türkiye’de bisiklet kullanımının neden daha az olduğunu açıkça belirtin. Ayrıntıları bağlamak için “whereas” veya “because” kullanabilirsiniz.
Exemplo: I don’t think bikes are very popular in Turkey, especially as a form of public transport. In the Netherlands, many people cycle to work or school, whereas in Turkey, people often rely on cars or public transport.

Use the definite article the before the Netherlands. Also, public transport is an uncountable expression in this meaning, so it does not take a. The final phrase but in Turkey due to is incomplete because due to must be followed by a noun phrase; add the intended reason or finish the contrast as a complete clause.

The comparison needs a clear object. Use compare it with the Netherlands, where it refers to the popularity of bikes. The repeated with is a spoken repetition and is omitted in the correction.
