Bicycles were very popular in my country in the 2000s and many children rode them to school and around the neighborhood. Nowadays they are much less common because more families have cars and kids prefer electronic devices and indoor activities.

分數: 72.0建議: Be more natural and slightly expand with one linking word and a specific detail. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one brief supporting detail (where you rode it or how you felt). Keep it within 3–4 sentences and correct minor grammar ("on my birthday").
範例: Yes, I did. My father bought me a blue bicycle on my tenth birthday, and I used to ride it to the park every weekend. Because it was lightweight and fitted me well, I learned to ride without training wheels within a week.

× My father bought me a blue bicycle in my birthday.
✓ My father bought me a blue bicycle for my birthday.
The phrase 'in my birthday' is incorrect. English uses the preposition 'for' (or sometimes 'on' with 'my birthday' if referring to the day) when indicating a gift given to mark an occasion. This is an incorrect use of a preposition, categorized as an article/preposition-related error. Suggestion: use 'for my birthday' to indicate the occasion or 'on my birthday' to indicate the time (the day) when it was given.
× Nowadays they are much less common because more families have cars and kids prefer electronic devices and indoor activities.
✓ Nowadays they are much less common because more families have cars and kids prefer electronic devices and indoor activities.
