Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Yes, actually, umm, it's very popular in my country. Every day you can see many people ride bikes, uh, go to work, go to school and so on.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 45.0建議: 最初の「I don't」は現在形で質問に合わないため、「No, I didn't.」と答えましょう。また、「I didn't have a bike」と「I had a bicycle」が矛盾しているので、どちらか一方に統一してください。過去の習慣には「went」や「used to go」を使い、「by bicycles」ではなく「by bike」または「on our bikes」と言うと自然です。
範例: No, I didn’t. I used to go shopping with my mother on her bicycle when I was a child, but I didn’t have one of my own.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 65.0建議: 質問が複数の自転車を指しているため、「it’s」ではなく「they’re」または「bikes are」と言いましょう。「see many people ride bikes」は文法的に可能ですが、「see many people riding bikes」のほうがこの文脈では自然です。通勤・通学以外に、人気の理由や具体的な場所などを一つ加えると、内容がより具体的で説得力のある回答になります。
範例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Every day, you can see many people riding them to work or school, especially in cities. They’re convenient, affordable, and good for the environment.
× I don't.
✓ I didn't.
The question asks about your childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Use 'didn't' instead of the present-tense auxiliary 'don't'.
× I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I have a bicycle when I was a child and umm, I always go shopping with my mother by bicycles.
✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I had a bicycle when I was a child, and I always went shopping with my mother by bicycle.
The phrase 'when I was a child' refers to the past, so 'have' should be changed to 'had' and 'go' should be changed to 'went'. The past tense is needed consistently when describing childhood experiences.
× Yes, actually, umm, it's very popular in my country.
✓ Yes, actually, bikes are very popular in my country.
The noun 'bikes' is plural, so the singular pronoun 'it' is not suitable. Repeating the plural noun 'bikes' makes the subject clear and agrees with the meaning of the question.
× Every day you can see many people ride bikes, uh, go to work, go to school and so on.
✓ Every day, you can see many people riding bikes to work or school.
The original sentence has an unclear sequence of coordinated actions. The revised structure uses 'riding bikes to work or school' to express the idea clearly and naturally.
