Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 40.0Sugestão: Answer the question directly and naturally with a clear statement about your experience. Provide one or two specific supporting details using linking words (e.g., "and", "so", "because") and keep the response concise (no more than 5 sentences). Avoid repeating the examiner's question verbatim.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small blue bicycle with training wheels, and I learned to ride it in my neighborhood park. Because I practiced nearly every day, I became confident enough to ride without the training wheels by the time I was seven.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Give a direct opinion then expand with specific reasons or examples using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example", "so"). Try to use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "common", "widely used", "popular for commuting") and add one concrete detail to support your view. Keep it natural and within 3–4 sentences.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in cities you can see dedicated bike lanes and lots of people cycling to work or school. As a result, cycling is a common and convenient way to get around.
× Yes, I think the bikes are popular in our country.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.
The original sentence uses 'the bikes' which incorrectly uses the definite article and a plural determiner referring to all bikes; more natural is 'bikes' or 'the bicycle' depending on meaning. Also 'our country' is grammatically acceptable but mismatches speaker perspective in this context; 'my country' is more natural for a personal answer. According to the provided list, this falls under third person singular issue because the sentence's reference and article use affect agreement and natural subject reference. Suggestion: remove the definite article 'the' before general plural nouns when speaking generally (use 'Bikes are popular' or 'Bikes are popular in my country').
