Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Make the sentence more natural and provide a reason or brief example using linking words. Use correct prepositions and a clearer structure: state your opinion, then give a specific reason or example to support it.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children who are learning to ride; for example, many neighborhoods have bike classes and parks where families practice on weekends.
× Yes, I do have a bike when I was a kid.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a kid.
The sentence mixes present tense ('do have') with a past time expression ('when I was a kid'). Use past tense 'had' to match the past time. Suggestion: use past simple for completed past situations (I had a bike).
× Yes, especially to the kids that are still learning how to ride a bike.
✓ Yes, especially for kids who are still learning how to ride a bike.
The preposition 'to' is incorrect here; 'for' expresses the intended beneficiary group. Also use 'kids' (no article) and 'who' rather than 'that' for people. Suggestion: use 'for kids who are still learning' to sound natural and grammatically correct.
