Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: แสดงความคิดเห็นและให้เหตุผลได้ แต่ควรแก้ “I think by not popular” เป็น “I don’t think bikes are popular” และใช้ “facilities for bicycles” หรือ “cycling infrastructure” ให้ถูกต้อง ควรหลีกเลี่ยงการย้ำ “I think” และเชื่อมประโยคให้กระชับ เช่น อธิบายว่าไม่มีเลนจักรยาน จึงนิยมใช้รถจักรยานยนต์แทน
Ví dụ: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. There aren’t many dedicated bike lanes, so cycling can be inconvenient or unsafe. As a result, many people prefer to use motorcycles.
× I did have a bike when I was child because I grew up in a rural area so ha having bicycle is very common in my area.
✓ I did have a bike when I was a child because I grew up in a rural area, so having a bicycle is very common in my area.
Use the indefinite article a before child because child is a singular countable noun. Use a before bicycle for the same reason. The repeated fragment ha is a speech hesitation and is omitted from the corrected sentence.
× I think by not popular in my country
✓ I think bikes are not popular in my country
The original clause is missing a subject and a finite verb, and by does not function correctly in this sentence. Use bikes as the subject and are as the verb to form a complete clause.
× we don't have facilities for bicycle
✓ we don't have facilities for bicycles
Bicycle is used to refer to bicycles in general, so the plural form bicycles is appropriate here. Alternatively, you could say facilities for cycling.
× such as we don't have a bike lane
✓ for example, we don't have bike lanes
Such as is normally followed by a noun or noun phrase, not a complete clause. Use for example to introduce the clause we don't have bike lanes.
