Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 20.0Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and use the correct past-tense structure. Say “I had a bike,” not “I was have a bike.” Also, “when I was a child” is the appropriate phrase; “when I was a shower” is incorrect. Add one specific detail, such as how you used the bike or who gave it to you.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents gave it to me when I was about eight years old, and I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: State your opinion clearly and use accurate vocabulary: “bikes,” not “buys,” and “rural areas,” not “rural sites.” Avoid repeating the same phrase. Use a linking word such as “whereas” to compare rural and urban areas, and explain why bikes are more or less popular in each place.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in rural areas, where the roads are quieter and people use them for transportation. However, in city centers, many people prefer public transport because the roads are crowded and there are not enough bike lanes.
× Yes, I was have a bike when I was a shower.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The phrase was have is not a correct past-tense form. Use had, which is the simple past form of have. The phrase when I was a shower also appears to be a transcription error; based on the question, the intended phrase is when I was a child.
× In my opinion, buys are popular in rural sites rural sites but in the city centre they use list by.
✓ In my opinion, bikes are popular in rural areas, but people use fewer bikes in city centres.
Use fewer with the plural countable noun bikes, not less. Fewer is used for things that can be counted. The words buys and list by appear to be transcription errors, so they have been changed to bikes and fewer bikes to make the answer clear and grammatically correct.
