Question: Tell your friend that the bike repair shop has finished mending your bike, but it still does not work.

Hint 1   修车铺 xiūchē pù bike repair shop
Hint 2   Use 完 and  好 which are both placed after verbs of action
Answer  那家修车铺修完了我的车，可是没修好。 Listen
Comments  Alternatively: 修车铺修了我的车,可是没修好 xiūchē pù xiūle wǒ de chē, kěshì méi xiū hǎo. Both 好 hǎo and 完 wán can imply completion. However, 好 hǎo also implies satisfaction. For instance, 我作完了饭 wǒ zuò wán le fàn, 可是没作好 kěshì méi zuò hǎo or 我作完饭了,可是作得不好 wǒ zuò wán fàn le,  kěshì zuò de bù hǎo I have finished cooking the meal, but it is not very nice.
