Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Rispondi in modo diretto e completa la frase: la risposta si interrompe a metà e contiene esitazioni e ripetizioni («in the in the»). Usa «I spent a lot of money on it», non «I paid it a lot of money». Mantieni il racconto al passato e aggiungi un dettaglio concreto, per esempio dove andavi in bicicletta. Evita di ripetere che la bici era bella senza spiegare perché ti piaceva.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was quite expensive, but I loved riding it. I often cycled through the woods and along the quiet streets near my home.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: L’idea è pertinente e include una motivazione, ma correggi gli accordi: «bikes are», «streets for bicycles» e «there are a lot of green areas». Riduci le esitazioni e formula con chiarezza il vantaggio: si possono esplorare le aree verdi in bici invece di usare l’auto. Puoi rendere la risposta più specifica citando piste ciclabili o parchi locali.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many towns have narrow streets and dedicated cycle paths, so cycling can be more convenient than driving. There are also plenty of green areas where people can enjoy a bike ride.
× I paid it a lot of money because I really love to go cycling.
✓ I paid a lot of money for it because I really love to go cycling.
Use 'pay ... for something' to indicate what the money was spent on. 'Pay it a lot of money' uses the wrong preposition and structure.
× I paid it a lot of money because I really love to go cycling.
✓ I paid a lot of money for it because I really loved to go cycling.
The sentence describes the student's childhood and a past purchase, so 'loved' is more consistent with that past-time context than 'love'.
× For example, in the in the wood or on street in the
✓ For example, I rode it in the woods or on the street.
Use 'the' before 'street' in this context. The original also ends mid-phrase; the correction completes the example as a sentence.
× Yes, bike are very popular in my country because we have a lot of small streets, uh, which are made uh for bicycle and also there are uh there is a lot of green areas and you can enjoy them going uh to the bicycle instead of uh going by car.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because we have a lot of small streets, uh, which are made uh for bicycles, and also there are uh a lot of green areas and you can enjoy them by bicycle instead of uh going by car.
Use the plural 'bikes' when talking about bicycles in general, and 'bicycles' after 'for' because the sentence refers to bicycles generally, not to one bicycle.
× Yes, bike are very popular in my country because we have a lot of small streets, uh, which are made uh for bicycle and also there are uh there is a lot of green areas and you can enjoy them going uh to the bicycle instead of uh going by car.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because we have a lot of small streets, uh, which are made uh for bicycles, and also there are uh a lot of green areas and you can enjoy them by bicycle instead of uh going by car.
Use 'there are' with the plural noun phrase 'a lot of green areas'. Avoid combining 'there are' and 'there is' for the same phrase.
× Yes, bike are very popular in my country because we have a lot of small streets, uh, which are made uh for bicycle and also there are uh there is a lot of green areas and you can enjoy them going uh to the bicycle instead of uh going by car.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because we have a lot of small streets, uh, which are made uh for bicycles, and also there are uh a lot of green areas and you can enjoy them by bicycle instead of uh going by car.
Use 'by bicycle' to describe a mode of transportation. 'Going to the bicycle' does not express traveling by bike.
