Puntuación: 30.0Sugerencia: Expand your answer into a short, natural response (up to 5 sentences) that gives a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, “Yes, I did. When I was about 8 years old, my parents bought me a small red bicycle, and I used it to ride to the park every weekend.”). Mention an age, a brief description, and a short anecdote or result to make the answer vivid.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. When I was around eight years old my parents bought me a small red bicycle, and I rode it to the park almost every weekend. Because I practised a lot, I became more confident and started cycling with friends after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 40.0Sugerencia: Give a direct opinion followed by specific reasons or examples and linking words to make your point coherent. Aim for 2–4 sentences: state whether bikes are popular, then explain why (e.g., for commuting, exercise, or cost) and, if possible, give a comparison or brief statistic. This will show vocabulary range and provide concrete content.
Ejemplo: Yes, I do. Bicycles are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and shared-bike schemes, so more commuters choose cycling over driving.
