Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and use accurate past-tense grammar. Say “a blue bike” rather than “a blue color bike,” and replace “I was very enjoyed” with “I really enjoyed riding it.” Also, use “rode” instead of “ride” because you are talking about the past. Add one specific detail about how often you rode it or why you liked it, using a linking word such as “because.”
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a blue bike when I was a child. I really enjoyed riding it, and I often rode it to school. It was convenient because I could get there quickly and enjoy the fresh air.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Use the plural form when speaking generally: “Bikes are popular in my country.” Avoid repetition and correct the verb form: “Many people ride bikes.” Explain the reason more naturally by saying that bikes help people avoid traffic and travel around easily. Organize the answer with a clear topic sentence followed by a reason, using “because” or “also.”
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them because they can avoid traffic jams and get around easily. They are also affordable and environmentally friendly, so they are especially common in crowded cities.
× I'm very I was very enjoyed with my bike and I ride to my school.
✓ I really enjoyed my bike, and I rode to school.
The question asks about the student's childhood, so the past tense is required. Use rode, the past tense of ride, instead of ride. Also, enjoyed is an active verb here, so say I enjoyed my bike rather than I was enjoyed with my bike.
× I'm very I was very enjoyed with my bike and I ride to my school.
✓ I really enjoyed my bike, and I rode to school.
Enjoy is normally used in the active voice when the subject experiences the enjoyment. I was enjoyed is an incorrect passive construction in this context. Say I enjoyed my bike or I really enjoyed riding my bike.
× Yes bike is popular in my in my country.
✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country.
The answer refers to bikes in general, so the plural noun bikes is more appropriate. The plural subject also requires the plural verb are. Avoid repeating the phrase my in my.
× Yes bike is popular in my in my country.
✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country.
A singular countable noun such as bike normally needs an article, but when speaking about bikes in general, the plural form bikes does not need an article. The corrected sentence is also more natural and concise.
× Many of the people is ride a bike.
✓ Many people ride bikes.
Many people is a plural subject, so it cannot be followed by the singular form is. For a general statement, use the simple present form ride. The plural noun bikes is appropriate when referring to bicycles in general.
× Many of the people is ride a bike.
✓ Many people ride bikes.
The auxiliary is cannot be used directly before the base verb ride. If you use the continuous form, say are riding, but for a general fact, the simple present Many people ride bikes is the best choice.
× It is popular because of the it is not stuck in a traffic and easily you can move anywhere you want.
✓ Bikes are popular because they do not get stuck in traffic, and you can easily go anywhere you want.
The phrase the it is incorrect because the pronoun it cannot follow the definite article. Also, traffic is usually an uncountable noun in this meaning, so say in traffic rather than in a traffic. Use because before a complete clause: because they do not get stuck in traffic.
× It is popular because of the it is not stuck in a traffic and easily you can move anywhere you want.
✓ Bikes are popular because they do not get stuck in traffic, and you can easily go anywhere you want.
The adverb easily should normally be placed before the main verb go, not at the beginning of the clause. The natural word order is you can easily go anywhere you want.
