Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
In my opinion, bikes are not really common in our country 'cause every day we commute by subways and bus more than traveling by transportations like bike or motorcycle.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Avoid awkward phrasing like "go on a bike" and unnecessary repetition.
Example: Yes, I did. I loved riding my bicycle around the apartment complex when I was a child, and I became quite confident riding on small paths and around corners.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Give a direct short answer, then support it with a specific reason and a linking word. Use formal contractions or full forms (avoid "'cause") and correct word order ("travel by transportation" is awkward).
Example: Not really. Most people prefer subways and buses for daily commuting, so bicycles are less common, especially in big cities where public transport is convenient.
× Yes, I used to love to go on a bike in my apartment and I was pretty good at riding a bike.
✓ Yes, I used to love going for bike rides near my apartment and I was pretty good at riding a bike.
The phrase 'love to go on a bike' is awkward; 'love + -ing' (gerund) is natural after 'used to love' and 'go on a bike' should be 'go for bike rides' or 'go cycling'. Also 'in my apartment' is incorrect because riding a bike typically happens near or around an apartment, so 'near my apartment' clarifies location. Suggestion: use gerund forms for activities ('love doing') and use appropriate prepositions for location ('near').
× In my opinion, bikes are not really common in our country 'cause every day we commute by subways and bus more than traveling by transportations like bike or motorcycle.
✓ In my opinion, bikes are not really common in our country because every day we commute by subway and bus more than by means of transportation like bikes or motorcycles.
Multiple preposition and article issues: 'by subways and bus' is incorrect; use 'by subway and bus' (no plural after 'by' when naming transport modes generally) or 'by subways and buses'. 'Traveling by transportations' is wrong: 'transportation' is uncountable, use 'by means of transportation' or list 'bikes or motorcycles'. Also use plural consistency: 'bikes or motorcycles'. Replace colloquial ''cause' with 'because'. Suggestion: use 'by' + transportation mode (singular or plural consistently) and avoid 'transportations'.
