Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 82.0Gợi ý: 「Yes, I did.」という直接的な回答に続けて、理由と具体例を述べており、基本構成はよくできています。ただし、子どもの頃の話なので「I like riding」よりも過去形の「I liked riding」のほうが自然です。また、「riding a bike」と「used my bicycle」が重複しているため、表現を少し整理すると、より自然で効果的になります。
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I really enjoyed riding my bike when I was a child, and I often used it to meet up with my friends after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: 「I don't many people use use cars」は文法的に誤っており、「I don't think many people use bikes」または「I think many people prefer cars」とする必要があります。また、「use use」の重複や、「driving car」の冠詞不足も修正しましょう。質問に対して最初に明確な意見を述べ、その後に「because」や「so」を使って理由をつなげると、より論理的になります。さらに、「cars are faster than bicycles」のように比較表現を正確に使い、国での具体的な状況を加えると内容が豊かになります。
Ví dụ: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Most people prefer using cars because they are faster and more convenient, especially for long distances. However, bicycles are becoming more common in some cities because of dedicated bike lanes.
× Yes, I did. I like riding a bike, so I often used my bicycle to hang out with my friends.
✓ Yes, I did. I liked riding a bike, so I often used my bicycle to hang out with my friends.
Because the question asks about your childhood, the verb should be in the past tense. Use liked instead of like to describe a past preference.
× Uh, no, I don't many people use use cars.
✓ Uh, no, I don't think many people use cars.
The verb think is missing after don't, and use is repeated. The correct structure is don't think + clause: I don't think many people use cars.
× Umm, because it is fast.
✓ Umm, this is because cars are fast.
A sentence beginning with because is normally a dependent clause and cannot stand alone here. Use a complete sentence with a subject and a main verb. Also, cars should be used instead of it because the previous sentence refers to cars in the plural.
× Uh, driving car is faster than riding a bicycle.
✓ Uh, driving a car is faster than riding a bicycle.
The singular countable noun car needs an article. Use a car when referring to one nonspecific car.
