Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Not really because in Taiwan many people like just drive the car and take the bus and the metro MRT and scooter.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: Improve grammar (tense and subject-verb agreement), make the response more concise and natural, and add one specific detail to enrich the answer. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and use a linking word for coherence.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was six. I often rode it to explore my neighborhood and enjoy the scenery, especially the small park near my house. Also, I liked riding with my parents on weekend mornings because it felt like a family outing.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, and add a specific reason or brief comparison. Use linking words (for example, however, because) to connect ideas and be slightly more precise about modes of transport.
Exemplo: Not really — cars and scooters are more common in Taiwan. Because the public transport network is well-developed and scooters are convenient for short trips, many people prefer those over bicycles. However, cycling is becoming more popular in cities for leisure and exercise.
× Yes, I have a bike when I was 6.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was 6.
The sentence refers to a past state at age 6, so the past simple 'had' should be used instead of the present simple 'have'. Use past tense consistently when describing past events.
× At that time I like to ride my bike and go around to see some beautiful sights and views.
✓ At that time I liked to ride my bike and go around to see beautiful sights and views.
The phrase 'At that time' indicates past time, so the past simple 'liked' is required instead of present 'like'. Also 'some' before 'beautiful sights and views' is unnecessary; removing it makes the phrase more natural.
× And I like to ride my bike with my parents.
✓ And I liked to ride my bike with my parents.
Because the speaker is describing past experiences, the verb should be in the past simple 'liked' rather than present 'like'. The rest of the sentence is correct.
× Not really because in Taiwan many people like just drive the car and take the bus and the metro MRT and scooter.
✓ Not really, because in Taiwan many people prefer to drive cars, take the bus or the MRT, and ride scooters.
Multiple issues: 'like just drive' is ungrammatical—use 'prefer to drive' or 'just drive'; 'the car' should be plural 'cars' when speaking generally; use parallel structure for the list (drive cars, take the bus or the MRT, ride scooters). 'Metro MRT' is redundant; use 'the MRT' or 'the metro'. Also add a comma after 'Not really' for clarity.
