Yes, in Korea there are lots of bike thefts. So many people have a lack in their bikeses. This means bikes are very popular in my country, in Korea.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 35.0Sugestão: 질문에 바로 답한 점은 좋지만, 같은 내용을 반복하고 말이 중간에 끊겨 답변이 완성되지 않았습니다. 과거 경험이므로 과거 시제를 일관되게 사용하고, “gave up teaching me”처럼 자연스러운 표현을 쓰세요. 자전거를 배울 때 어떤 어려움이 있었는지 한 가지 구체적인 내용을 덧붙이면 답변이 더 완성도 있어집니다.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I tried to learn how to ride it, but I found it difficult to keep my balance. After a while, my mom stopped teaching me, so I never became a confident cyclist.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 30.0Sugestão: “자전거 도난이 많다”는 사실만으로 자전거가 인기 있다는 결론을 내리기는 논리적으로 어렵습니다. 인기를 설명할 때는 자전거 이용자가 많은 이유나 사용 목적을 제시하세요. “bikeses”는 “bikes”로, “have a lack in their bikes”는 의도에 맞는 표현으로 고쳐야 합니다. 예를 들어 출퇴근이나 운동에 자전거를 이용하는 사람이 많다고 말할 수 있습니다.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in South Korea. Many people ride them for exercise or to enjoy the riverside paths, especially at weekends. However, I think they are less commonly used for commuting in busy city centres.
× Then I tried to practice how to like the bike, but my mom gave up to teaching me because I cannot.
✓ Then I tried to practice how to like the bike, but my mom gave up teaching me because I couldn't.
After give up, use a gerund (-ing form), not to + verb. Say gave up teaching. Because the story is about your childhood, use couldn't rather than cannot for the past.
× Then I tried to practice how to like the bike, but my mom gave up to teaching me because I cannot.
✓ Then I tried to practice how to like the bike, but my mom gave up teaching me because I couldn't.
The sentence describes a past experience, so use the past form couldn't instead of the present form cannot. Keep the verb tense consistent when narrating past events.
× So many people have a lack in their bikeses.
✓ So many people lack bikes.
The regular plural of bike is bikes, not bikeses. For practice, form most plurals by adding -s or -es only when the word's spelling requires it.
× So many people have a lack in their bikeses.
✓ So many people lack bikes.
Lack is normally used directly with the thing that is missing, as in lack bikes. Do not use in after lack in this meaning.
