Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be careful with tense and natural phrasing. Use past tense consistently and a concise, natural sentence as the topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid awkward wording like "by which" which sounds formal. Also keep answer within 3–4 sentences and use a linking word if you add extra information.

Example: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. I used it to ride to school every day, and it usually took me about 15 minutes. Because the route was quiet, I felt safe cycling on my own.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Avoid absolute statements and vague or unclear phrases. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give specific, coherent reasons using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Replace unclear phrases like "depend on the person to person" with concrete examples (commuting, errands). Keep sentences concise and grammatically correct.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. For example, many people commute to work or buy groceries by bike, especially in crowded cities where parking a car is difficult.

Grammar

Verb tense and form / Sentence structure errors

× Yes, I have a bicycle by which I used to go to school.

Yes, I had a bicycle which I used to ride to school.

Errors: 'have' is present tense but the question asks about childhood, so past tense 'had' is required (Present tense issue - ID 6 and Past tense issue - ID 5). 'By which I used to go' is awkward and incorrect word order; use 'which I used to ride' or 'that I used to ride' to show how the bicycle was used. Also 'ride' is the correct verb collocation with 'bicycle' rather than 'go'. Suggestion: Use past tense for past situations and common collocations (had a bicycle; used to ride it).

Article/Determiner and quantifier / Subject-verb agreement and pronoun clarity

× Definitely, the bikes are very popular in my country as every single person has their own bike and they use it for their daily schedule.

Definitely, bikes are very popular in my country because almost everyone has their own bike and uses it for their daily routines.

Errors: Unnecessary definite article 'the' before general plural 'bikes' (Article errors - ID 22). 'Every single person has their own bike and they use' creates a pronoun-number mismatch and repeated verb form; better 'almost everyone has their own bike and uses it' (Subject-verb agreement - ID 27 and Incorrect use of pronouns - ID 12). 'Daily schedule' is awkward; use 'daily routine(s)'. Suggestion: Drop 'the' for general statements, use 'almost everyone' or 'everyone' for quantifier, and ensure verb agrees with singular 'everyone' by using singular verb form ('uses').

Word choice and sentence structure

× Some use it for their office work, for some for their personal work as they depend on the person to person.

Some people use it for commuting to work, while others use it for personal errands because they depend on going from one person or place to another.

Errors: Sentence fragments and unclear phrasing (Sentence structure errors - ID 26). 'Some use it for their office work, for some for their personal work' repeats structure awkwardly; better: 'Some people use it for commuting to work, while others use it for personal errands.' The clause 'as they depend on the person to person' is ungrammatical and unclear; perhaps intended meaning is 'they depend on going from one place or person to another'—restate clearly. Suggestion: Use clearer vocabulary ('commuting', 'errands') and connect contrasting ideas with 'while' or 'whereas'; avoid vague phrases like 'person to person'.
