Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Make your answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct tense consistency, and avoid unnecessary repetition. Add one specific detail about the bike or how you used it, using a linking word to connect ideas. Keep to no more than five short sentences.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a simple red bicycle that I shared with my older sister, and we often rode it to the park on weekends. Because the bike was light, it was easy for both of us to handle, so we took turns riding it while the other pushed when the path was steep.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Provide a direct opinion first, then give specific reasons with linking words and a clear example. Use more natural vocabulary (e.g., ride motorcycles, use ride-hailing apps) and correct small grammar issues. Limit to two or three sentences that clearly explain why bikes are less popular.

Example: Not really. Most people prefer cars, motorcycles or ride-hailing services because cities are crowded and distances are long, so cycling is often impractical for daily commuting.

Grammar

Past tense issue

× Yes, I did when I was a child. I have a bike and I share it with my sister, my elderly sister.

✓ Yes, I did when I was a child. I had a bike and I shared it with my sister, my older sister.

The sentence refers to a past situation, so verbs should be in the past tense (had, shared) rather than present (have, share). Also, 'elderly sister' implies she is old; 'older sister' is the usual comparative to indicate sibling order. Suggest using consistent past-tense verbs for past events and 'older sister' for clarity.

Plural and article/quantifier issue

× I don't think so because in my country people always use car, motorcycle and public transportation or grab like that.

✓ I don't think so because in my country people usually use cars, motorcycles, public transportation, or services like Grab.

When listing countable items generally, use plural nouns (cars, motorcycles). 'Always' is strong; 'usually' better matches general observation. 'Public transportation' is fine but parallel structure requires plural or consistent form. 'Grab' is a brand/service; capitalize and clarify as 'services like Grab'. Use commas to separate items. Suggest using plural forms for general habits and naming proper nouns correctly.
