Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 75.0Gợi ý: Your answer directly addresses the question, but “didn’t have an interest in it” sounds unnatural. Say “wasn’t interested in cycling” instead. You could add a brief, specific detail, such as what you preferred doing, to make your answer more engaging.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because I wasn’t very interested in cycling. I preferred playing football with my friends instead.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: You give a clear reason, but use “many people” rather than “many of the people,” and “for transportation” or “as a means of transport” rather than “for transportation purpose.” Also, “workplaces” is more natural than “workspace” here. End with a full stop and consider adding a specific example of where people ride bikes.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them to commute to work or school. For example, it’s common to see students cycling to school in the morning.
× Yes, I really think that they are popular in my country because many of the people use them for transportation purpose to reach their workspace or their schools
✓ Yes, I really think that they are popular in my country because many people use them for transportation purposes to get to their workplaces or schools.
Purpose is a countable noun and should be plural in the expression for transportation purposes. Also, many people is the more natural phrasing here, and workplaces should be plural to agree with the people who use the bikes. Use get to instead of reach here for a more natural expression.
