Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 20.0Gợi ý: 質問は「子どもの頃に自転車を持っていたか」なので、まず「Yes, I did.」または「No, I didn’t.」と直接答えましょう。「I was helped it」は文法的に不自然です。学校が自転車の購入を助けてくれたという意味なら、「My school helped me get one」のように表現できます。また、「when I was childful」ではなく「when I was a child」を使いましょう。
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. My school helped me get one when I was a child, and I rode it around my neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: 「自転車は人気だと思う」と、最初に質問へ直接答えましょう。「lighting bikes in」は意味が伝わりにくいため、人気の理由を「便利」「手軽」などの語で説明すると自然です。買い物や通学・通勤を挙げる場合は、「for shopping, going to school, and commuting to work」のように形をそろえ、理由を一文でつなげましょう。
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they’re convenient for short trips. People often use them for shopping, going to school, or commuting to work.
× Yes, I I was.
✓ Yes, I did.
The question uses the past-tense auxiliary did, so the short answer should use did as well. Avoid repeating the subject.
× I was helped it by schools when I was childful.
✓ I was given a bike by my school when I was a child.
In a passive sentence, the thing received becomes the subject, and the verb needs the correct past participle. Say I was given a bike, not I was helped it. Use a bike rather than it when first mentioning the bike.
× I was helped it by schools when I was childful.
✓ I was given a bike by my school when I was a child.
Use the article a before the singular countable noun child. A useful pattern is when I was a child.
× Yeah, I think so, because they are lighting bikes in. Shopping or go to school and go to work.
✓ Yeah, I think so, because they are light, and people use them for shopping, going to school, and going to work.
Use the adjective light to describe the weight of the bikes. Lighting usually describes something that provides light or the act of providing light.
× Yeah, I think so, because they are lighting bikes in. Shopping or go to school and go to work.
✓ Yeah, I think so, because they are light, and people use them for shopping, going to school, and going to work.
Keep the activities in a parallel form after for: shopping, going to school, and going to work. Do not mix shopping with go.
× Yeah, I think so, because they are lighting bikes in. Shopping or go to school and go to work.
✓ Yeah, I think so, because they are light, and people use them for shopping, going to school, and going to work.
Shopping or go to school and go to work is not a complete sentence, and the preceding in leaves the thought unfinished. Connect the activities to a complete clause, such as people use them for these activities.
