Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 55.0建議: Answer directly, then add a few clear details. Keep your response to no more than five sentences. Use “it” for a bike, and say “bought it for me,” not “bought it from me.” The phrase “as much as it was my first time” is unclear; explain that learning to ride was a memorable experience instead. Avoid repeating that the bike was a cherished gift and that you enjoyed it.
範例: Yes, I had a black bike when I was a child. My father bought it for me for my tenth birthday, so it was a very special gift. I remember learning to ride it and cycling around my neighborhood almost every day.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 40.0建議: Give a direct answer and support it with a clear example. “Go to the state” does not fit the context; use “go outside” or name a place where you see bikes. The final phrase, “Most of them were milk,” is unclear, so replace it with the type of bike you mean or omit it. Use a linking phrase such as “For example” to connect your detail to your main point.
範例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. You can see people riding them on the streets and in parks, especially in the evenings. When I was growing up, most of my friends had bikes, and we often rode them together after school.
