Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
From my perspective they don't popular because nowadays, especially in city centers, people mostly use cars, so bikes. They mostly use bikes for their photographs like memorable moment, but they don't use use them as usual.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Be more natural and grammatically correct. Start with a direct topic sentence, correct the verb and preposition errors, and add a brief specific detail to enrich the answer (but keep it under 5 sentences). Use linking words like “and” or “which” when adding details.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My mother bought it for me when I was seven, and I used to ride it to the park every weekend. It was a small red bike with training wheels, which helped me learn to balance quickly.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 48.0Sugestão: Organize your response with a clear topic sentence and specific supporting details. Correct grammar (e.g., “they are not popular” or “bikes aren’t popular”), avoid repetition, and use linking words such as “because,” “however,” or “for example.” Provide one or two concrete reasons or examples to support your view.
Exemplo: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country, especially in cities, because most people prefer cars for convenience and speed. For example, in city centers traffic and poor bike lanes make cycling difficult, so many people use bikes only for photos or leisure on weekends rather than for daily transport.
× Yes, I did have a bike when I was young and my mom bought it to me.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was young and my mom bought it for me.
The auxiliary 'did' is unnecessary in a simple past affirmative sentence; use simple past 'had'. Also, the correct preposition is 'for' with 'bought it for me' rather than 'to me'. Suggestion: Use simple past for affirmative statements (I had) and use 'buy something for someone'.
× From my perspective they don't popular because nowadays, especially in city centers, people mostly use cars, so bikes.
✓ From my perspective they aren't popular because nowadays, especially in city centers, people mostly use cars instead of bikes.
The adjective 'popular' requires a linking verb; use the present simple negative 'aren't' for plural subject 'they'. Also 'so bikes' is unclear; use 'instead of bikes' or 'rather than bikes'. Suggestion: Use 'be' + adjective (they are popular/they aren't popular) and 'instead of' to show contrast.
× They mostly use bikes for their photographs like memorable moment, but they don't use use them as usual.
✓ They mostly use bikes for photographs as a memorable moment, but they don't use them regularly.
'Use for their photographs' is awkward; better 'use bikes for photographs'. 'Like memorable moment' should be 'as a memorable moment' or 'to create memorable moments'. The phrase 'as usual' is not correct here; use 'regularly' or 'as a regular means of transport'. Also remove the duplicated 'use'. Suggestion: Replace awkward prepositional phrases with natural collocations: 'use for photographs', 'as a memorable moment', 'regularly'.
