Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Give a direct answer, then add a clear reason with correct phrasing and linking words. Avoid sentence fragments and be specific about where and why people ride bikes. Use linking words like “because,” “for example,” or “especially for.”
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Korea because many people use them for leisure and exercise. For example, people often ride along riverside bike paths and sometimes cycle on mountain trails for recreation.
× Yes, I had home a bike when I was young.
✓ Yes, I had a bike at home when I was young.
The original sentence has incorrect word order: 'home' should not sit between the verb and object. The correct phrasing is 'had a bike at home' or simply 'had a bike.' Use the prepositional phrase 'at home' after the object. Suggestion: place location phrases after the object or use 'at home' before or after the verb phrase appropriately.
× Yes, in Korea, many people love riding a bike especially. For hiking the mountain.
✓ Yes, in Korea many people especially love riding bicycles for mountain hiking.
Two issues: (1) 'especially' is misplaced at the end; it should modify the phrase it qualifies, e.g. 'especially love.' (2) 'For hiking the mountain.' is a sentence fragment and uses an unnatural article. Combine the ideas into one sentence and use 'for mountain hiking' or 'to ride in the mountains.' Also use the plural 'bicycles' or 'riding a bike' consistently. Suggestion: place adverbs like 'especially' next to the verb or adjective they modify and avoid fragments by attaching purpose phrases to the main clause.
