No, I don't I didn't have any bike when I was a child because both my parents didn't know how to cycle so they didn't teach me cycling when I was young so basically I terribly want a bike because my peers also have one at the time.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Thí sinh
No, in my home country, Hong Kong is a very clouded NBC place with many pedestrians on the road. So we can't really ride on bike as a means of transport because it will create a lot of danger.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Be concise and correct grammar: start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two concise supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and incorrect tense. Also correct collocations (e.g., "want a bike" not "want" + adverb).
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents couldn’t cycle, so they never taught me; as a result, I missed out while many of my friends had bikes.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Give a clear direct answer, then support it with specific, accurately phrased reasons and a linking phrase. Avoid unclear words (e.g., "clouded NBC"). Use correct modal verbs and plural/singular agreement.
Ví dụ: Not very popular. In Hong Kong, roads and sidewalks are crowded with pedestrians and traffic, so cycling is often unsafe; therefore most people prefer public transport or walking.
× No, I don't I didn't have any bike when I was a child because both my parents didn't know how to cycle so they didn't teach me cycling when I was young so basically I terribly want a bike because my peers also have one at the time.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because neither of my parents knew how to cycle, so they didn't teach me. Basically I really wanted a bike because my peers had one at that time.
Multiple past-tense errors and awkward phrasing: 'I don't I didn't have' mixes present and past; use simple past 'I didn't have.' 'Any bike' is unnatural here; use 'a bike.' 'Both my parents didn't know' is better as 'neither of my parents knew' for negative of two. 'Teach me cycling' is awkward; use 'teach me' or 'teach me to ride a bike.' 'Basically I terribly want a bike' mixes tense and uses wrong adverb; use past 'I really wanted a bike.' 'My peers also have one at the time' should be past 'had one at that time.' Suggestion: keep consistent past tense, choose natural collocations, and place adverbs appropriately.
× No, in my home country, Hong Kong is a very clouded NBC place with many pedestrians on the road.
✓ No, in my home country, Hong Kong is very crowded and has many pedestrians on the road.
'Clouded NBC place' is incorrect phrase: likely intended 'crowded' not 'clouded' and 'NBC' is irrelevant. Remove unnecessary words and use 'crowded' to describe density. Use 'has many pedestrians' rather than 'with many pedestrians' for clarity. Also avoid comma splice by making the clause flow: 'Hong Kong is very crowded and has many pedestrians.'
× So we can't really ride on bike as a means of transport because it will create a lot of danger.
✓ So we can't really ride bikes as a means of transport because it would be very dangerous.
Use plural 'bikes' when speaking generally (singular/plural issue ties to structure but main is modal/conditional): 'can't' is fine but 'it will create a lot of danger' is unnatural; use 'would be very dangerous' to indicate consequence or general truth. Also use 'ride bikes' or 'ride a bike' consistently. Suggestion: use 'would' for hypothetical/general consequences and choose natural adjective 'dangerous.'
