Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, avoid repetition, fix grammar (use past tense and correct infinitive forms), and add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it concise (max 3–4 sentences).

Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. Although I loved the idea of riding, my family could not afford one at the time, so I played with toy cars instead. As a result, I learned to enjoy walking to school with friends rather than cycling.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Begin with a direct answer, then give two specific reasons linked by conjunctions or linking words, and avoid filler phrases and punctuation errors. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "motorbikes" or "two-wheelers") and correct collocations ("affordable," "convenient").

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in India. Firstly, they are affordable and economical to run; secondly, they are convenient for negotiating heavy traffic, so many commuters prefer them over cars.

Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× When I was a child, I dreamed to have a bike, but to be honest, I didn't have a bike.

When I was a child, I dreamed of having a bike, but to be honest, I didn't have one.

The verb 'dream' when followed by another verb usually requires the preposition 'of' + gerund (dream of having). Also use the gerund 'having' rather than the infinitive 'to have'. Additionally, repeating 'a bike' is redundant; use 'one' for variety and naturalness.

Verb + -ing form

× I love to ride bikes, but because of the financial condition, I didn't have a bike.

I love riding bikes, but because of our financial situation, I didn't have one.

With verbs expressing preferences (love), both 'to' infinitive and gerund are possible, but 'love riding' is more natural here. Change 'financial condition' to the idiomatic 'financial situation' and replace the repeated noun with 'one' for concision.

Sentence structure errors

× In my country, especially in India, bikes are very popular as people love to ride 2 Wheelers because they are very convenient and not much expensive as well so.

In my country, especially in India, bikes are very popular because people love to ride two-wheelers; they are very convenient and not very expensive.

Sentence had redundancy ('as... because' and trailing 'so') and awkward phrasing. Replace '2 Wheelers' with 'two-wheelers' in words, simplify connectors by using a single cause 'because', and change 'not much expensive' to the correct adverbial form 'not very expensive'. Use a semicolon or separate clauses for clarity.
