Did you have a bike when you were a child?
考生
Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often used it to wandering around the parks. However, I have outgrown this hobby right now and I'm no longer using it.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
We came together in. Unfortunately, I don't think bikes are a prevalent transportation tool in our country, neither it is a popular thing in our country. This is because we heavily rely on the transportation system, the public one, which is the bus and the light railways.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 64.0建議: Be more natural and grammatically correct, and keep answers concise (max 5 sentences). Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms, and add one specific detail using a linking word. Avoid awkward phrases like “outgrown this hobby right now.”
範例: Yes — I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around local parks because I enjoyed exploring different paths and feeling free. However, I don’t use it anymore, since I now prefer walking or using public transport for convenience.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 58.0建議: Give a clear, direct response and remove unclear fragments. Use linking words to explain reasons and provide one specific example or statistic if possible. Use natural phrases like “not very popular” and correct sentence structure (e.g., subject + verb + object).
範例: Not really — bikes are not very popular in my country. This is mainly because people prefer buses and light rail for daily commuting, and many cities lack safe bike lanes. For example, my city has limited cycling infrastructure, so most commuters choose public transport instead.
× I often used it to wandering around the parks.
✓ I often used it to wander around the parks.
The structure 'to' followed by a verb requires the base form (infinitive), not the -ing form. 'To wandering' is incorrect; use 'to wander'. Alternatively, you could say 'I often wandered around the parks.' Choose the infinitive after 'used it to' or use the simple past verb form.
× However, I have outgrown this hobby right now and I'm no longer using it.
✓ However, I have outgrown this hobby and I'm no longer using it.
The phrase 'have outgrown' (present perfect) is correct to indicate a change up to now, but adding 'right now' is redundant and unnatural. Removing 'right now' keeps the present perfect and present continuous clear. If you want to emphasize the present moment, say 'I have outgrown this hobby and I am no longer using it now.'
× We came together in.
✓ We came together once.
The original fragment 'We came together in.' is incomplete and lacks an object or time expression after 'in'. It may be a misuse or mistranslation. If the intended meaning is that people used to cycle together occasionally, 'We came together once' or 'We used to ride together' would be appropriate. Choose a complete clause with subject and verb.
× Unfortunately, I don't think bikes are a prevalent transportation tool in our country, neither it is a popular thing in our country.
✓ Unfortunately, I don't think bikes are a prevalent means of transportation in our country, nor are they popular here.
Using 'neither' in the original sentence is incorrect with the clause structure that follows. 'Neither' should be paired with inversion ('neither are they') or replaced with 'nor' plus inversion. Also phrase 'transportation tool' is awkward; 'means of transportation' is more natural. Replace the redundant 'in our country' with 'here' to avoid repetition.
× This is because we heavily rely on the transportation system, the public one, which is the bus and the light railways.
✓ This is because we heavily rely on the public transportation system, which consists of buses and light railways.
The original has awkward article placement and singular/plural mismatches. 'The transportation system, the public one' is redundant; 'public transportation system' is concise. Also 'the bus' should be plural 'buses' to match 'light railways'. Use 'which consists of' to introduce specific examples.
