Score: 45.0Suggestion: Évitez les hésitations et les remplisseurs (« umm », « uh ») et organisez la réponse avec une phrase principale suivie de détails spécifiques. Utilisez des connecteurs pour la cohérence et donnez un exemple ou une raison précise (par ex. pour le transport, le loisir, ou l'environnement).
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many young people use them for short commutes and exercise, and bike-sharing programs in cities have increased their use in recent years.
× Yes, I had a bike when I when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The sentence repeats 'when I' causing a redundancy and disrupts fluency. Remove the duplicated phrase so the past-tense statement is clear and concise. Suggestion: read sentences aloud to catch repeated words and unnecessary fragments.
× I think bikes are quite popular in my country, Umm, as, as far as I remember, umm, there was a lot of uh, uh, biking that uh, that was uh, uh, carried out by, uh, by youth, uh.
✓ I think bikes are quite popular in my country. As far as I remember, there used to be a lot of biking carried out by young people.
The original has filler sounds and awkward phrasing. 'As far as I remember' introduces a recollection, so use 'there used to be' to indicate a past habitual situation. Replace 'youth' with 'young people' for natural collocation. Remove fillers and doubled words to improve clarity. Suggestion: plan the sentence mentally, use smoother connectors, and choose natural collocations like 'young people' and 'used to' for past habits.
