Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
Yes, absolutely. In Vietnam most people use bikes and motorcycles because they're very crowded in the city so car is very impractical. Motorbikes are much cheaper to buy and easier to park.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 42.0建議: Answer directly using the past tense: “Yes, I did.” Use “had” rather than “have,” and replace unclear phrases such as “have back” and “ride by together during park” with natural expressions. Add one specific detail about who you rode with or where you went.
範例: Yes, I did. I had two or three bikes when I was a child, and I sometimes lent them to my cousins. We often rode around the park together.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 70.0建議: Your reasons are relevant, but clarify whether you mean bicycles or motorbikes, since the answer focuses mainly on motorbikes. Improve the grammar by saying that cities are crowded and cars are impractical. Use a linking phrase such as “As a result” to connect the ideas.
範例: Yes, motorbikes are extremely popular in Vietnam. Many cities are crowded, so cars can be impractical and difficult to park. As a result, people often choose motorbikes because they are cheaper and easier to get around on.
× Most kids have back during they try to practice.
✓ Most kids had bikes when they were learning to ride.
The question asks about childhood, so use the past-tense verb had rather than have. Were learning also places the practice in the past. The word back does not work in this sentence; bikes appears to be the intended word.
× Most kids have back during they try to practice.
✓ Most kids had bikes when they were learning to ride.
During is followed by a noun phrase, not a full clause such as they try to practice. Use when to introduce the clause. In general, use during the lesson but when they practiced.
× I have like two or three bikes during that time and I can lend those bikes to my cousins so we can ride by together during park.
✓ I had about two or three bikes at that time, and I could lend them to my cousins so we could ride together at the park.
The sentence describes a past period, so use had instead of have. Keep verbs describing what happened then in the past as well.
× I have like two or three bikes during that time and I can lend those bikes to my cousins so we can ride by together during park.
✓ I had about two or three bikes at that time, and I could lend them to my cousins so we could ride together at the park.
Can describes present ability, while could is appropriate for ability or possibility in the past. Use could consistently because the speaker is describing childhood.
× I have like two or three bikes during that time and I can lend those bikes to my cousins so we can ride by together during park.
✓ I had about two or three bikes at that time, and I could lend them to my cousins so we could ride together at the park.
Use at the park to identify the location. Ride together does not need the preposition by. For locations, learn common combinations such as at the park and in the city.
× In Vietnam most people use bikes and motorcycles because they're very crowded in the city so car is very impractical.
✓ In Vietnam, most people use bikes and motorcycles because the cities are very crowded, so cars are very impractical.
They're refers to people or vehicles in the original sentence, but the intended meaning is that the cities are crowded. Name the intended subject directly to make the reference clear.
× In Vietnam most people use bikes and motorcycles because they're very crowded in the city so car is very impractical.
✓ In Vietnam, most people use bikes and motorcycles because the cities are very crowded, so cars are very impractical.
Car is used as a general category, so make it plural: cars. The plural verb are then agrees with cars. Use a plural noun when making a general statement about a class of vehicles.
