Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Soruyu doğrudan yanıtlayın ve geçmişten bahsettiğiniz için geçmiş zaman kullanın: “I had a bike” veya “I learned to ride a bike.” “They had taught me with family” ifadesi doğal ve net değil; kimin size öğrettiğini açıkça belirtin. Ailenizle birlikte bisiklete binmeniz gibi somut bir ayrıntı ekleyin ve cümleyi tamamlayın.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father taught me how to ride it, and I often went cycling with my parents at the weekend.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: Önce ülkenizde bisikletlerin popüler olup olmadığını açıkça söyleyin; mevcut yanıtınızda düşünceniz net değil. “For young girls” ifadesiyle ne demek istediğinizi açıklayın veya bu ayrıntıyı çıkarın. Kendi tercihinizden söz edecekseniz, bunu ülkenizdeki yaygınlıktan ayırın. Tekrarlanan “uh”ları azaltın ve nedeninizi kısa bir ayrıntıyla destekleyin.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially among young people. However, I usually prefer travelling by car or train because those options are more convenient for longer journeys.
× In my childhood I have a bike
✓ I had a bike in my childhood.
The speaker is describing childhood, a period in the past, so the simple past form had is needed instead of the present perfect have. Use the simple past for completed situations in the past.
× and they had taught me with family, mother and daughter, mother and father also we bike and.
✓ My family taught me to ride a bike, and my mother, father, and I rode together.
The original is not a complete, clearly structured sentence: it contains an unclear phrase, and the ideas are joined without a clear grammatical connection. The correction gives the sentence a clear subject and verb and expresses the family members and shared activity in a natural order. Rode is used because the speaker is describing the past.
× I reckon in my country, popular and uh, absolutely, uh, for young girls, uh, but I prefer uh, in, in my country, I prefer uh, car or by train.
✓ I reckon bikes are popular in my country, especially among young girls, but I prefer traveling by car or train.
The phrase bikes are popular needs a subject and a linking verb; the original omits both before popular. The correction also removes repeated words and uses the parallel phrase by car or train. Include a subject and a verb in each complete clause.
