Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Improve grammar, verb tenses, and sentence clarity. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two concise supporting details using linking words. Correct verb forms (e.g., "learned", "a few weeks of practice"), use past tense consistently, and avoid hesitation words like "Umm." Make your final comment precise (e.g., how you felt or what you could do).
Example: Yes, I did — I had a bike when I was in elementary school. I learned to ride it with training wheels at first so I could keep my balance, and after a few weeks of practice my parents removed them. At that point I felt very free and confident to ride on my own.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Make sentences more natural and concise, correct articles and plural forms, and use linking words to organize ideas. Start with a direct opinion, then give specific supporting details (where, what system, why people use it). Replace vague phrases like "make the transportation" with clearer reasons such as "for short trips" or "to avoid traffic."
Example: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my city. There are many Ubike stations — a public bike-sharing system — so people can borrow bikes easily for short trips. As a result, you often see many cyclists on the streets using bikes to avoid traffic and save money.
× I learning to ride with training wheels at first so I could keep my balance.
✓ I was learning to ride with training wheels at first so I could keep my balance.
The sentence lacks the correct auxiliary for the past continuous tense. Use 'was' + verb-ing to describe an ongoing action in the past. Suggestion: use 'I was learning' when describing what you were doing then.
× But few weeks ago of practice my parents removed them.
✓ But after a few weeks of practice my parents removed them.
This sentence misuses 'few' and has incorrect word order. Use the quantifier 'a few weeks' to indicate some weeks, and place 'after' before the time expression to show when the removal happened. Suggestion: 'after a few weeks of practice'.
× Umm at that time I feel very freedom and thought I could ride on with only.
✓ At that time I felt very free and thought I could ride on my own.
The sentence mixes present tense 'feel' with past context 'at that time' and uses incorrect adjective 'freedom' instead of 'free'; 'with only' is unclear. Use past tense 'felt' to match 'at that time', adjective 'free', and the phrase 'on my own' to mean independently. Suggestion: 'I felt very free and thought I could ride on my own.'
× Yes, in my country and in my city you can see so many bike station.
✓ Yes, in my country and in my city you can see so many bike stations.
The noun 'station' must agree in number with 'so many', so use the plural 'stations'. Suggestion: match quantifiers with plural nouns: 'so many bike stations.'
× It's it's a sharing bike called Ubike, so everyone can borrow it and make the transportation.
✓ It's a shared bike called Ubike, so everyone can borrow it for transportation.
'Sharing bike' is not the correct adjective form; use 'shared bike' or 'shared bicycle'. Also 'make the transportation' is unnatural; use 'for transportation'. Remove the duplicate 'it's'. Suggestion: 'It's a shared bike called Ubike, so everyone can borrow it for transportation.'
× So you can see so many people riding the bicycle in the city on the street.
✓ So you can see so many people riding bicycles in the city.
Use plural 'bicycles' to match 'so many people', and 'in the city' is sufficient—'on the street' is redundant. Also 'riding the bicycle' is odd when referring generally; use 'riding bicycles' or 'riding bikes'. Suggestion: 'riding bicycles in the city.'
