Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Cevabınız soruya doğrudan yanıt vermeye çalışıyor ve bisikletin rengini belirtiyor; ancak zaman uyumu ve cümle yapısı konusunda önemli hatalar var. Geçmişten bahsettiğiniz için “Yes, I do” yerine “Yes, I did” veya “Yes, I had one” kullanmalısınız. “Its name is” ifadesi de geçmiş zaman bağlamında “I called it...” şeklinde daha doğal olur. Son cümledeki “my cities”, “my bazaar” ve “on the art of the city” ifadeleri anlaşılır değil; bisikletle nerelere gittiğinizi açık ve doğal biçimde belirtin. Cevabı iki veya üç bağlantılı cümleyle, örneğin “especially” ve “because” gibi bağlayıcılarla geliştirebilirsiniz.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a red bike, which I called Christopher. I used to ride it around my neighborhood, especially to the local market and the park near my house.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: Ana fikriniz anlaşılabiliyor; ancak “turnart” ve “Repelition Turnart” ifadeleri doğru veya anlaşılır İngilizce görünmüyor. İstanbul’daki etkinliği anlatmak yerine, öncelikle “Yes, bikes are quite popular...” şeklinde doğrudan bir konu cümlesi kurmalısınız. “A lot of people going” yerine “a lot of people go” ya da geçmiş bir etkinlikten söz ediyorsanız “a lot of people went” kullanın. Bisikletlerin neden popüler olduğunu ve insanların ne zaman veya nerede bisiklet sürdüğünü bir neden ve örnekle açıklayın. “At weekends” ve “across the bridge” gibi doğal ifadeler kullanarak cevabınızı daha açık ve etkili hâle getirebilirsiniz.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in large cities like Istanbul. At weekends, many people cycle along the coast or across the bridges for exercise and enjoyment. There are also cycling events, which encourage more people to take up the activity.
× Yes, I do.
✓ Yes, I did.
The question is in the past tense: Did you have a bike...? Therefore, the short answer should use did, not do.
× Its name is Christopher Formier.
✓ Its name was Christopher Formier.
The student is describing a bike they had in the past, so was is more appropriate than is in this context.
× I went all around my cities, my bazaar and going to the garden on the art of the city.
✓ I went all around my city, to my bazaar, and to the garden on the outskirts of the city.
The student appears to be referring to one city, so city should be singular. The phrase on the art of the city is also unclear; on the outskirts of the city is the natural expression.
× I went all around my cities, my bazaar and going to the garden on the art of the city.
✓ I went all around my city, to my bazaar, and to the garden on the outskirts of the city.
The verb went describes past activities, so the coordinated verb should also be in the past tense: went to the garden, not going to the garden.
× I went all around my cities, my bazaar and going to the garden on the art of the city.
✓ I went all around my city, to my bazaar, and to the garden on the outskirts of the city.
The preposition to is needed before places that were visited. The expression on the art of the city is incorrect; on the outskirts of the city is the appropriate phrase.
× Yes, there is a big turnart like Repelition Turnart in Istanbul is across throughout the bridge.
✓ Yes, there is a big tournament, like the Repelition Tournament in Istanbul, that goes across the bridge.
The original sentence combines several clauses without a correct grammatical connection. The relative clause that goes across the bridge clearly describes the tournament.
× Yes, there is a big turnart like Repelition Turnart in Istanbul is across throughout the bridge.
✓ Yes, there is a big tournament, like the Repelition Tournament in Istanbul, that goes across the bridge.
Across already expresses movement from one side to the other, so throughout is unnecessary. The natural phrase is across the bridge.
× It's a nice evening that yes, a lot of people going to weekend with bikes.
✓ It is nice to see that a lot of people go cycling at the weekend.
The clause a lot of people going to weekend does not contain a finite verb. Go is needed to form a complete clause, and go cycling is the natural expression for riding bikes as a leisure activity.
× It's a nice evening that yes, a lot of people going to weekend with bikes.
✓ It is nice to see that a lot of people go cycling at the weekend.
The student is describing a general or usual situation, so the present simple go is appropriate. The form going cannot be used as the main verb here.
× It's a nice evening that yes, a lot of people going to weekend with bikes.
✓ It is nice to see that a lot of people go cycling at the weekend.
The natural expression is at the weekend or on weekends, not to weekend. The phrase go cycling also expresses the activity more naturally than go with bikes.
