分數: 72.0建議: Rispondi in modo diretto e aggiungi un dettaglio personale, come già fai. Per essere più naturale, usa “ride a bike” invece di “drive a bike” e “eventually” invece di “at the end”. Evita le esitazioni e la ripetizione “to to”; puoi anche specificare cosa ti piaceva andare in bicicletta.
