Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I got it as my birthday gift when I turned seven. I usually use it said to right behind our house since it wasn't safe to enter the road with it.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
Bikes are not really popular in my country because there is no safe space to ride those bikes. Hence many people prefer taking taxis or motorbikes rather than riding their bikes to work or to wherever destination they choose to go.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 58.0建議: You answer directly and give a relevant detail about when you received the bike. However, the final sentence is difficult to understand: “use it said to right behind” is not grammatical. Use the past tense consistently and clearly explain where you rode it and why you stayed there. For example, say that you rode it in the area behind your house because the nearby road was unsafe.
範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it as a birthday present when I turned seven. I usually rode it in the area behind our house because the road nearby was too busy to ride on safely.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 70.0建議: Your answer gives a clear opinion and a reason, and you make a useful comparison with other forms of transport. To sound more natural, say “bicycles” or “cycling” instead of repeating “bikes,” and replace “wherever destination they choose to go” with a simpler phrase such as “to get around.” You could also add a specific detail about the lack of bike lanes or busy roads.
範例: No, bicycles aren’t very popular in my country, mainly because there are few safe places to ride them. Many roads are busy and don’t have bike lanes, so people often take taxis or motorbikes to work and to get around.
× I usually use it said to right behind our house since it wasn't safe to enter the road with it.
✓ I usually used it to ride right behind our house since it wasn't safe to ride it on the road.
The student is describing a childhood habit, so the past-tense form used is appropriate instead of use. The phrase said to right is also unclear; to ride right behind our house makes the intended meaning understandable. Use the past tense consistently when describing habits from childhood.
× Hence many people prefer taking taxis or motorbikes rather than riding their bikes to work or to wherever destination they choose to go.
✓ Hence, many people prefer taking taxis or motorbikes rather than riding their bikes to work or wherever they choose to go.
Wherever introduces a place clause, but it cannot directly modify the noun destination in this sentence. Use wherever they choose to go, or say whatever destination they choose. Choose the form that fits the sentence structure.
