Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
To be honest, I didn't think about it. Um, but in my opinion, I think in my country, in Kazakhstan, bikes are not that popular, um, because everyone moved by walk or car so bikes are really really rare
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 35.0建議: Answer the question directly and use the past simple: “Yes, I did.” Avoid restarting the sentence and fillers such as “um” and “eh.” The final part is difficult to understand; use a clear sentence to describe how you learned to ride. Add one specific detail, such as who taught you or where you rode.
範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father taught me how to ride it in a quiet park near our home. At first, I was a little nervous, but I soon learned to balance and really enjoyed riding it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 55.0建議: Give your opinion directly instead of saying you have not thought about it, and avoid repeating “in my opinion” and “I think.” Use the natural phrase “get around on foot or by car” rather than “moved by walk or car.” Support your view with a specific reason or contrast, and avoid repeating “really.”
範例: I don’t think bikes are very popular in Kazakhstan. Many people prefer to get around on foot or by car, especially in cities. Also, the cold winters can make cycling less convenient for much of the year.
× I I had my bike when uh in my childhood.
✓ I had a bike when I was a child.
The phrase when in my childhood is incomplete because when normally introduces a clause with a subject and a verb. Use when I was a child. Avoid repeating I, and use a bike when referring to having a bike in general.
× It was really eh interesting how did I learn how to can I bike
✓ It was really interesting how I learned to ride a bike.
The phrase how I learned is an indirect question embedded in a statement, so it uses normal subject–verb order. Do not invert the subject and verb as in a direct question: how did I learn. Use how to ride a bike rather than how to can I bike.
× It was really eh interesting how did I learn how to can I bike
✓ It was really interesting how I learned to ride a bike.
Can cannot follow to in this construction. After how to, use the base form of a verb, such as how to ride. Also, ride a bike is the natural expression for using a bicycle.
× Everyone moved by walk or car so bikes are really really rare.
✓ Everyone gets around on foot or by car, so bikes are really rare.
The speaker is describing a general situation in the country, so use the present tense gets around rather than the past tense moved. The correct expressions are on foot and by car.
