Did you have a bike when you were a child?
점수: 62.0제안: Be direct and use past tense when referring to childhood. Give a clear topic sentence and one brief supporting detail. Avoid using “drive” for bicycles; use “ride.” Keep it to 1–3 sentences and use a linking or clarifying phrase if needed.
예시: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. I learned to ride it when I was about six, and I used to cycle to school most days to get some exercise.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
점수: 54.0제안: Use correct grammar (singular/plural, verb forms) and more precise vocabulary. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words (for example, because, for instance, so). Remove filler words like “umm.”
예시: Yes, bicycles are very popular in the Philippines because many people use them for exercise and short trips. For example, some of my friends cycle regularly as a sport and to stay fit, and cycling clubs are becoming more common in cities.
× Yes, I know how to drive a bike.
✓ Yes, I knew how to ride a bike when I was a child.
The examiner asked about the past (when you were a child), so the student should use past tense. 'Know' should be 'knew'. Also English commonly uses 'ride a bike' rather than 'drive a bike' for bicycles. This fixes tense and verb choice to match the context.
× Yes, because bikes is quite popular here in the Philippines since that was also a sports for us.
✓ Yes, because bikes are quite popular here in the Philippines, and cycling was also a sport for us.
The subject 'bikes' is plural, so the verb must be 'are' (subject-verb agreement). 'That was also a sports' is incorrect: use singular 'sport' and connect ideas with 'and'. 'Cycling' is a better noun for the activity. Also add a comma for clarity.
× Some of my friends ride a bikes during just to have umm umm exercise umm just their sports you know.
✓ Some of my friends ride bikes just to exercise; it is their sport, you know.
Use plural 'bikes' without the article 'a' (either 'ride bikes' or 'ride a bike'). Remove filler words and reorder the sentence for clarity: 'just to exercise' is the purpose. 'Just their sports' is incorrect: use 'it is their sport' or 'their sport'. The correction fixes article/plural errors and improves sentence structure and fluency.
