Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: Answer in the past tense because the question is about your childhood. Also, use “bike,” not “bite,” and add one specific detail, such as what you used the bike for.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about eight, and I often rode it around my neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Your answer is understandable, but use “bikes” without “the” when speaking generally. Add a reason or example to make your response more specific and engaging.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. Many people use them for short trips because they’re affordable and convenient.
× Yes, I have a bite.
✓ Yes, I had a bike.
The question asks about your childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Use 'had' rather than 'have'. Also, 'bite' means an act of biting, while 'bike' is the word for a bicycle.
× Yes, the bikes are popular in my country.
✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country.
Use the plural noun 'bikes' without 'the' when speaking generally about bikes as a category. 'The bikes' would refer to particular bikes already identified.
