Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Answer directly using the past tense: say whether you had a bike. Your meaning is difficult to follow because of phrases such as “my that” and “he really exhausted.” Use “my dad” and “he got tired,” and avoid repeating that you did not have a bike. Add one clear detail about learning to ride.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My dad tried to teach me how to ride one, but he got tired after a few lessons, so I never learned properly.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Give a clear reason for your opinion and use natural vocabulary. “The suburbs are so famous” does not explain why bikes are popular; you could say that many people use bikes for exercise or commuting. Use “cycling” or “riding bikes” rather than “doing bicycles” or “driving bicycles.”
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in suburban areas. Many people ride them for exercise, while others use them for short trips because they’re convenient and inexpensive.
× I don't have really because my that is teaching me how to drive a bicycle.
✓ I didn't really have one because he was teaching me how to ride a bicycle.
The question asks about the past, so use didn't have rather than don't have. Use was teaching for an action in progress in the past. The phrase my that is unclear and ungrammatical; he is used here to refer to the person mentioned later. For bicycles, ride is the more natural verb than drive.
× But when he tried to teach me he really exhausted.
✓ But when he tried to teach me, he was really exhausted.
Exhausted is an adjective here, so it needs the linking verb was to make a complete clause. Add a comma after the introductory when-clause.
× So I don't want to teach me how to drive a bike.
✓ So I didn't want him to teach me how to ride a bike.
The story refers to the past, so use didn't want. The event of teaching was done by him, so use him rather than me as the subject of the infinitive phrase.
× So I don't want to teach me how to drive a bike.
✓ So I didn't want him to teach me how to ride a bike.
The pronoun me cannot be the person doing the teaching in this sentence. Use him to identify the person who would teach you; me remains correct as the person receiving the instruction.
× So no, I don't have it.
✓ So no, I didn't have one.
The question is about whether you had a bike as a child, so use the past-tense form didn't have. One is also a natural way to refer back to a bike without suggesting a specific bike already mentioned.
× Yeah, I think so, because in my country the suburbs are so famous and people love to do some sports like jogging, walking and bicycles. Driving bicycles.
✓ Yeah, I think so, because in my country the suburbs are well known, and people love doing sports like jogging, walking, and cycling.
The examples in the list should use parallel forms. Jogging and walking are -ing forms, so use cycling rather than the noun bicycles. The separate phrase Driving bicycles is a fragment, so combine the activity with the preceding list. Love doing is a natural construction here.
