Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
Well, I don't think so. I think it depends on the reason. In my country, for example, in the big city, most of people have to walk far away, therefore they often use a motorbike to go to work.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 42.0Suggestion: Work on grammar (past tense and subject-verb agreement), word choice, and sentence linking. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then add one or two specific supporting details using simple linking words (for example, "because" or "so"). Keep answers concise (no more than 4–5 short sentences).
Example: Yes. I had a bicycle when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was seven, and I used it to ride to school every day. Because I rode it with my friends, those rides were fun and made me very happy.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Give a direct opinion first, then support it with specific reasons and a clear linking structure. Use correct articles and quantifiers (e.g., "most people" not "most of people"). Avoid vague phrases like "depends on the reason" without explaining what reasons you mean. Keep it to 3–4 coherent sentences and include one concrete example or contrast (city vs countryside).
Example: I don't think bicycles are very popular in my country. In large cities many people prefer motorbikes or cars because distances are long and traffic is heavy. However, bicycles are more common in rural areas where trips are shorter and streets are quieter.
× When I were a child my parents had put a buy for me.
✓ When I was a child my parents bought a bike for me.
Errors: 'were' is incorrect for singular first person in past tense (should be 'was') which is a past tense issue; 'had put a buy for me' is ungrammatical and mixes past perfect with wrong verbs. Use simple past 'bought' to state a past action. Suggestion: Use 'was' for 'I' in past tense and 'bought a bike' to express purchase.
× I make it a habit to use to goes to school.
✓ I made it a habit to use it to go to school.
Errors: 'make' should be past 'made' to match time frame (past habit) — this relates to tense but the main issue is verb forms; 'to use to goes' combines incorrect infinitive and third person singular. Correct form is 'use it to go' or 'used it to go'. Suggestion: Match past tense and use base verb after 'to' (to go), and include object 'it' referring to the bike.
× As a result I feel happy.
✓ As a result, I felt happy.
Error: Mismatch of tense — previous sentences describe past events, so 'feel' (present) should be past 'felt'. This is a present tense issue. Suggestion: Keep consistent past tense narration.
× I don't think so. I think it depends on the reason.
✓ I don't think so. I think it depends on the reason.
No correction needed: sentences are grammatically correct. They match subject-verb agreement and tense. Included to show there is no error.
× in the big city, most of people have to walk far away, therefore they often use a motorbike to go to work.
✓ In big cities, most people have to travel long distances, so they often use motorbikes to go to work.
Errors: 'the big city' is too specific; use plural 'big cities' for general statement. 'Most of people' is incorrect quantifier — correct is 'most people'. 'Walk far away' is unnatural; use 'travel long distances'. 'A motorbike' should be plural or generic 'motorbikes' to match 'most people'. This involves incorrect use of quantifiers and article use. Suggestion: Use plural/general nouns for generalizations, correct quantifiers, and natural collocations ('travel long distances', 'motorbikes').
