Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Thí sinh
I wouldn't say, I wouldn't say they are really popular in my commentary because comparing them to countries like France or Italy, they are much more popular there. But still people use that in bigger cities like Moscow or Saint Petersburg because it's really convenient to use them, not to rent a car.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Ответ был понятен, но есть несколько проблем: невысокая точность формулировок, лишние или неполные фразы (например, «and also I lived» — неясно), повторы («I used to have a bike when I was a child» плюс «Yes, absolutely» избыточны). Чтобы улучшить ответ: 1) Начинайте с одной чёткой тематической фразы. 2) Убирайте повторы и исправляйте грамматические ошибки (например, «I liked riding it with my friends»). 3) Добавьте конкретную деталь или короткий пример с помощью связующих слов (because, so, for example). 4) Держите не больше 3–4 предложений. Пример конкретных исправлений: коротко описать цвет, где катались и почему нравилось.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a purple bike when I was a child. I loved riding it with my friends along the mountain trails near my town because the scenery was beautiful and the routes were challenging. For example, we often rode to a small river about ten minutes away and raced each other down the slopes.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Ответ демонстрирует идею, но содержит повторы («I wouldn't say» дважды), неточное слово («commentary» вместо «country») и некоторая неловкая формулировка («people use that»). Чтобы улучшить: 1) Начните с прямого ответа (Yes/No or Not particularly). 2) Избегайте повторов и выбирайте точные слова. 3) Используйте связки (for example, however) и приведите конкретные причины или примеры. 4) Ограничьте ответ до 2–4 предложений и проверьте грамматику и местоимения.
Ví dụ: Not really — bicycles are less common here than in countries like France or Italy. However, they are quite popular in large cities such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg because many people prefer cycling for short trips; for example, commuters often use shared bikes to avoid traffic and parking costs.
× I really liked using it, riding it with my friends and also I lived.
✓ I really liked using it and riding it with my friends.
The original sentence is ungrammatical because 'and also I lived' is an incomplete and unrelated clause; it lacks an object and does not fit context. Remove the fragment to create a coherent coordinated list of activities. Suggestion: use parallel gerunds (using, riding) and avoid adding an unrelated clause.
× My town was surrounded by mountains and I really like to go in there by bike.
✓ My town was surrounded by mountains and I really liked going there by bike.
The phrase 'go in there' is incorrect; use 'go there' for movement to a place. Also tense consistency: the question asks about childhood, so use past tense 'liked' and gerund 'going there by bike' for habitual action.
× I wouldn't say, I wouldn't say they are really popular in my commentary because comparing them to countries like France or Italy, they are much more popular there.
✓ I wouldn't say they are very popular in my country because, compared with countries like France or Italy, bikes are much more popular there.
Original has redundant repetition 'I wouldn't say, I wouldn't say' and uses 'commentary' incorrectly (should be 'country'). 'Comparing them to...' is a dangling participle; change to 'compared with' and make clear subject 'bikes'. Ensure parallel structure and clarity.
× But still people use that in bigger cities like Moscow or Saint Petersburg because it's really convenient to use them, not to rent a car.
✓ But people still use them in big cities like Moscow or Saint Petersburg because it's really convenient and more practical than renting a car.
Original mixes pronouns 'that' and 'them' inconsistently. Use 'them' to refer to bikes. 'Bigger cities' is awkward; 'big cities' is preferred. Also 'not to rent a car' is awkward; rephrase to 'more practical than renting a car' for clarity and correct comparison.
