Country Yes, I think bikes are popular in our country because it helps us to travel a lot.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分数: 55.0建议: Answer directly and use the past tense because the question refers to your childhood. Replace “have” with “had” and “I’m” with “I was.” You could also add one specific detail, such as how often you used the bike or where you rode it.
示例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I usually rode it around my neighborhood after school, especially at weekends. It was a simple blue bike, but I really enjoyed riding it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分数: 60.0建议: Begin with a clear topic sentence and avoid the unnecessary word “Country.” Use the plural pronoun “they” to refer to “bikes,” rather than “it.” Also, replace the vague phrase “travel a lot” with specific reasons, such as avoiding traffic, saving money, or getting exercise.
示例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient. Many people use them to commute to work or school, especially in crowded cities. In addition, cycling helps people stay fit and reduces traffic pollution.
× Yes, I have a bike when I'm a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The question asks about a past time, so the past tense is required. Use had instead of have and was instead of am because both owning the bike and being a child happened in the past.
× Country Yes, I think bikes are popular in our country because it helps us to travel a lot.
✓ Country, yes, I think bikes are popular in our country because they help us travel a lot.
The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to bikes, which is plural. Use the plural pronoun they. Also, after help, the base verb travel is natural, so to is omitted. Country is not changed because it is outside the grammar problem types listed.
