Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Your main answer is clear, but the explanation is difficult to understand because of grammar errors and repeated words. Say “when I was a child” and use “borrowed” if you mean that you used other children’s bikes. Give one clear supporting detail, such as who you borrowed a bike from.
Ví dụ: I didn’t have my own bike when I was a child, but I sometimes borrowed one from other kids in my neighborhood. I enjoyed riding with them after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: You answer the question directly and give a relevant reason. However, “That’s why I think so” repeats the idea in your previous sentence. Add a more specific example or explain whether bikes are still popular today.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children and people who live in smaller cities. When I was growing up, many of my friends rode bikes to school or around the neighborhood.
× I didn't have a bike when I was child but I used a two ride bike from from the other kids I brought bike with
✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I used to ride bikes borrowed from other kids.
The singular countable noun child needs the article a, so the correct phrase is a child. Use a before singular countable nouns when referring to one person or thing.
× I didn't have a bike when I was child but I used a two ride bike from from the other kids I brought bike with
✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I used to ride bikes borrowed from other kids.
The phrases used a two ride bike and I brought bike with do not form clear, grammatical constructions, and the repeated from makes the sentence difficult to follow. To express the likely meaning, say used to ride bikes borrowed from other kids. Use used to + base verb to describe a past habit, and organize related ideas into a clear sentence.
