Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Soruyu doğrudan yanıtlamanız ve çocukken bisikletiniz olmadığını belirtmeniz olumlu. Ancak “I didn't” ifadesini iki kez tekrarlamaktan ve “my sister had” gibi eksik bir yapı kullanmaktan kaçının; bunun yerine “my sister had one” deyin. Cevabınızı daha akıcı hâle getirmek için “but” ve “so” gibi bağlaçlar kullanın. Ayrıca, babanızın size bisiklet sürmeyi öğrettiğini söylerken “learn how to ride a bike” ve “taught me how to ride a bike” ifadelerini art arda tekrar etmeyin.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child, but my sister had one. I used to borrow hers, and my father taught me how to ride it. I really enjoyed practising in our neighbourhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 20.0Gợi ý: Bu cevap soruyla ilgili değil; çocukken bisikletiniz olup olmadığı sorusuna tekrar yanıt veriyorsunuz. Öncelikle “Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country” gibi doğrudan bir topic sentence kullanın. Daha sonra bisikletlerin kimler arasında popüler olduğunu, neden kullanıldığını ve mümkünse bir örneği açıklayın. “Can I write?” gibi sınav bağlamıyla ilgisiz ifadeleri ve önceki cevabın tekrarını çıkarın. Cevabı 3–4 bağlantılı cümleyle tamamlayabilirsiniz.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among young people and university students. Many people use them to exercise or to avoid traffic in busy cities. However, cycling is less common in areas without safe bike lanes.
× but my sister had
✓ but my sister had a bike
The verb 'had' needs an object when it means possession. Add 'a bike' to complete the sentence.
× my father taught me to have
✓ my father taught me how to ride a bike
The phrase 'taught me to have' does not express the intended meaning. To describe learning a skill, use 'teach someone how to + verb' or 'teach someone to + verb.' Here, 'taught me how to ride a bike' is the natural expression.
