Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: Be more grammatically accurate, concise and coherent. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid hesitations and irrelevant numbers ("345-A"). Correct verb tenses and plural/singular forms (e.g., "I had a bike"; "I have terrible memories" → "I had a terrible memory" or "terrible memories"). Mention how that experience affected you now (brief consequence).

Example: I had a bike when I was a child, but I have a terrible memory associated with it. For example, I fell off many times and once I broke my nose, which left me frightened. Because of that accident, I felt nervous about riding bikes for several years.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Give a clear direct answer first, then support with specific, concise reasons and a brief comparison using linking words. Use correct tense and avoid contradictory statements (you said they started using e-bikes but then "that's not popular"). Choose vocabulary precisely ("electric bicycles" or "e-scooters").

Example: Yes, bikes used to be very popular, especially among children, but their popularity has declined recently. For instance, many kids now prefer electric scooters and e-bikes because they are faster and easier to use. As a result, traditional pedal bikes are less common in urban areas.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× Uh, yeah, I have a bike, uh, but I have a terrible memories about my bike when I was a child.

Uh, yeah, I had a bike, but I have terrible memories about my bike from my childhood.

The sentence mixes present and past tenses incorrectly. The question asks about having a bike when the student was a child, so 'had' (past tense) is required. Also 'a terrible memories' is incorrect because 'memories' is plural and should not use the article 'a'; use 'terrible memories' and 'from my childhood' is a natural expression. Suggestion: keep past tense for background facts (had) and match articles to noun number (no 'a' with plural).

Past tense issue

× Uh, I fell for 345-A countless times and uh, one of them I broke my nose and it's terrible memory of my childhood that is really hurt.

I fell off my bike countless times and once I broke my nose; it was a terrible memory from my childhood that really hurt.

Several past-tense forms are needed and some word choices are wrong. Use 'fell off' for falling from a bike, not 'fell for'. Use 'once' or 'one time' rather than 'one of them' in this context. Change 'it's terrible memory' to 'it was a terrible memory' to match past time, and 'that really hurt' is better placed after 'memory' or expressed as 'which hurt a lot'. Suggestion: use appropriate phrasal verb 'fell off', keep consistent past tense, and reorder clauses for clarity.

Past tense issue

× So I'm little bit scared about riding bikes when I was child.

So I was a little bit scared of riding bikes when I was a child.

The original mixes present 'I'm' with past 'when I was child'. For consistency, use past tense 'I was'. Add article 'a' before 'little bit' and before 'child' ('a child'). Use 'scared of' rather than 'scared about'. Suggestion: maintain past tense throughout the sentence and use the correct preposition 'scared of' and include necessary articles.

Present tense issue

× Yeah, in the past, the bikes are very popular among children, but nowadays with the development of the technology, uh, I think everything changed a little bit and children started the, you know, electrical bicycles or electrical, uh, scooters.

In the past, bikes were very popular among children, but nowadays, with technological development, I think things have changed a bit and children have started using electric bicycles or electric scooters.

The clause 'in the past' requires past tense 'were', not 'are'. Later, 'everything changed' should use present perfect 'have changed' to connect past change to the present. 'Started the ... bicycles' is incorrect; say 'started using electric bicycles or electric scooters'. Also use 'electric' rather than 'electrical' for these vehicles. Suggestion: keep tense consistent with time markers, use 'have changed' for changes leading to present, and use correct collocations ('use electric scooters').

Present tense issue

× I can say, uh, that's not popular in the current situation, I think.

I would say those are less popular now, I think.

'That's not popular in the current situation' is awkward and mixes singular 'that' with plural items (bikes/scooters). Use 'those' or 'they' and a comparative like 'less popular now'. 'I can say' is better as 'I would say' for opinion. Suggestion: match pronouns to the plural subject and use natural phrasing 'less popular now'.
