Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Відповідь прямо відповідає на запитання, але є граматичні та лексичні помилки: потрібно сказати “when I was a child”, а фраза “gave back his besides” незрозуміла. Імовірно, ви хотіли сказати, що брат віддав вам свій старий велосипед: “My brother gave me his old bike.” Сформулюйте відповідь у 2–3 реченнях і додайте конкретну деталь, наприклад, де ви каталися або як часто використовували велосипед.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My older brother gave me his old bike when he got a new one. I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Основна думка зрозуміла, але конструкція “I don't seem so” є неправильною; краще сказати “I don’t think so” або “It doesn’t seem so.” Додайте чітку причину та конкретний контекст, наприклад, недостатню кількість велосипедних доріжок, затори або популярність автомобілів. Використайте зв’язок “because”, щоб відповідь була логічнішою.
Ví dụ: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. I rarely see people riding them because many cities don’t have safe bicycle lanes. Most people prefer to use cars or public transport for commuting.
× I was child.
✓ I was a child.
The singular countable noun child requires the indefinite article a when referring to one child generally.
× My brother gave back his besides.
✓ My brother gave me his bike as well.
The original phrase has an unclear and incomplete structure. The verb gave normally needs a recipient, me, and the possessive word his should refer clearly to the bike. As well correctly expresses the meaning of also.
× No, I don't seem so I don't often see people riding bicycles.
✓ No, I don't think so because I don't often see people riding bicycles.
Because is needed to connect the opinion with its reason. The phrase I don't seem so is not used to express agreement or disagreement with an opinion; I don't think so is the appropriate expression.
