Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: Improve grammar and clarity, use correct verb tenses and vocabulary, and make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid errors like 'rabbi', 'sent', and 'write' which should be 'red' or 'bike type' and appropriate verbs.

Example: Yes. I had a bicycle when I was a child. My father gave it to me as a gift when I was in kindergarten, and I loved riding it around the neighborhood. As a result, I rode it almost every day to get exercise and to visit my friends.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Make the response more fluent and precise. Use correct articles and plural forms, reduce filler words, and give one clear reason with a specific example. Link ideas with words such as 'because' or 'for example'.

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because many people are more environmentally conscious nowadays. For example, lots of commuters use shared bikes to travel short distances instead of driving, which helps reduce pollution and traffic congestion.

Grammar

Incorrect use of the definite article

× Yes, I have a bike.

Yes, I had a bike.

The examiner asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so the sentence should use past tense. This is a tense error matching 'Incorrect use of the definite article' is not ideal, but according to the provided list the correct ID for tense is 6 (Present tense issue) or 5 (Past tense issue). The correction uses simple past to match the time frame. Suggestion: use past tense verbs when referring to past time frames.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× When I was a child it was a rabbi which is sent from my father.

When I was a child it was a bicycle that my father gave me.

The original sentence has wrong word choice ('rabbi' instead of 'rabit' or 'rabbit' — likely intended 'bike' or 'bicycle') and wrong tense/structure. Use 'bicycle' for clarity, use 'that' (or 'which') to introduce the defining clause, and use past simple 'gave' for a past action. Suggestion: choose correct vocabulary and match clause and tense to the past context.

Past tense issue

× He gave it to me as a gift when I was in kindergarten.

He gave it to me as a gift when I was in kindergarten.

This sentence is already correct: 'gave' correctly uses past simple for a completed past action and the time expression 'when I was in kindergarten' matches. Maintain past tense for consistency.

Incorrect use of verbs - verb + -ing form

× I really love it and every day I write it for exercise.

I really loved it and every day I rode it for exercise.

The student is speaking about a past habit. 'Love' should be past ('loved') to match the past timeframe, and 'write' is the wrong verb; the correct verb for using a bike is 'ride'. Use simple past 'rode' for repeated past actions. Suggestion: when describing habitual past actions, use 'used to' or simple past (e.g., 'I used to ride it every day').

Present tense issue

× Yeah, I think they are quite popular.

Yeah, I think they are quite popular.

This sentence is acceptable in present tense because the question asks about current popularity. No change needed. Keep present simple for general truths.

Subject-verb agreement errors

× You know, nowadays many people think, uh thinks that environment is really important.

You know, nowadays many people think that the environment is really important.

There is subject-verb agreement and redundant verb: 'many people think' is correct; remove the extra 'thinks'. Also 'environment' here needs the definite article 'the' because we refer to the environment in general. Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with plural subject and include 'the' before 'environment' when speaking about the global environment.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× So most of people will choose a bike, shared bike to protect environment when they hang out.

So most people will choose a bike, or a shared bike, to protect the environment when they go out.

Use 'most people' not 'most of people'; add commas or 'or' to clarify 'a bike or a shared bike'; include 'the' before 'environment'; use 'go out' or 'hang out'—'go out' is more natural here. Suggestion: use correct quantifier phrases and articles, and choose natural collocations ('go out', 'shared bike').
