Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Be direct and keep tense consistent. Begin with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then add one brief supporting detail about why or how you used a family bike. Avoid mixing past and present tenses and informal words like “daddy’s” in formal test — use “my father’s” or “my dad’s.” Keep it within 2–3 sentences and use a linking word if you add a reason.
Example: No, I didn't have my own bike when I was a child. Instead, I often used my father's bike when we went to the park because it was easier than buying a new one.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Answer directly, correct basic grammar, and give specific, coherent supporting details. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No + short reason), then add one or two specific details such as who uses bikes, where they are common, or approximate price range. Use linking words (for example, therefore) and correct singular/plural forms. Avoid unclear words like “bags” and awkward phrases like “in nowadays.”
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, you can see many commuters cycling in cities, and affordable models usually cost between two million and five million rupiah.
× No, I didn't actually. I'm using my daddy's bike.
✓ No, I didn't actually. I was using my daddy's bike.
The question asks about having a bike when the student was a child, so past simple or past continuous should be used. 'I'm using' is present continuous and does not match the past time frame. Change to 'I was using' to show the action occurred in the past. Suggestion: use past continuous for ongoing past actions (I was using) or simple past for habitual past actions (I used).
× Yes, I think the bags is very popular in nowadays.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular nowadays.
Multiple issues: 'bags' is incorrect word choice and 'nowadays' should not have 'in'; 'is' subject-verb agreement wrong for plural. Replace 'bags' with 'bikes', remove 'in', and use plural verb 'are' to match plural subject. Also 'nowadays' already conveys current time. Suggestion: ensure correct noun and match verb number (bikes are), and avoid unnecessary preposition before 'nowadays'.
× The bike is very famous.
✓ Bikes are very popular.
In general statements about a category, use plural noun and plural verb: 'Bikes are...'. 'Famous' is usually used for people or specific things; 'popular' is more natural for items. Suggestion: use plural subject 'bikes' with 'are' and choose appropriate adjective 'popular'.
× The range of bike is from 2 million until 5 million.
✓ The price range of bikes is from 2 million to 5 million.
Several issues: use plural 'bikes', include 'price' to clarify meaning, and use 'to' not 'until' in ranges. Also use 'is' with 'range' but rephrase to 'The price range of bikes is from 2 million to 5 million.' Suggestion: use 'from...to...' for ranges, include necessary noun modifiers, and match pluralization.
