Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Сделайте ответ более уверенным и естественным: перестройте порядок слов, добавьте причину или пример, используйте связочное слово для объяснения популярности (например, "because" или "so"). Избегайте лишних вводных слов вроде "I think yes".
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, you can see lots of commuters cycling to work in the mornings.
× Uh, yes I did. I have the a small red bike when I was a child.
✓ Uh, yes I did. I had a small red bike when I was a child.
The sentence uses the wrong tense and includes an extra article. The context is past time (when I was a child), so the verb should be past tense 'had' not present 'have'. Also there is an extra article 'the' before 'a small red bike' which is incorrect; only one article 'a' is needed. Suggestion: use 'I had a small red bike when I was a child.' Additionally this correction addresses subject-verb tense consistency and removes the redundant article.
× I think yes, bikes in my country are very popular.
✓ I think so; bikes in my country are very popular.
The phrase 'I think yes' is unnatural in English. Use 'I think so' to agree or affirm. The rest of the sentence is grammatically correct; 'bikes in my country are very popular' properly uses present tense to state a general fact. Suggestion: say 'I think so; bikes in my country are very popular.'
