分數: 45.0建議: Используйте прошедшее время, поскольку вопрос относится к детству: “I had”, а не “I have”. После “I” нужно говорить “was”, а не “were”. Ответьте прямо и добавьте небольшую деталь, например, как часто вы катались или где хранили велосипед.
範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school, and I really enjoyed exploring the area with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 55.0建議: Согласуйте подлежащее и сказуемое: “bikes are”, а не “bikes is”. Также замените местоимения: “a lot of children use them”, поскольку “bikes” — множественное число. Для более полного ответа добавьте конкретную причину или пример, используя связку “especially” или “for example”.

The question asks about a past situation, so use the past-tense form had instead of the present-tense form have. With the subject I, the correct past form of be is was, not were.
× Yes, I have a bike when I were a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The subject I must agree with the verb be. The correct form is I was, not I were. Remember that was is used with I, he, she, and it, while were is used with you, we, and they.
× Yes, I think bikes is popular in my country because a lot of children use it.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because a lot of children use them.
Bikes is plural, so it requires the plural verb are, not the singular verb is. Make sure the verb agrees with the subject in number.
