Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Make your response more grammatical, concise and organized. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct verb forms, articles and prepositions (e.g. “when I was a child,” “I used it to go to school,” “faster than walking”). Keep answers to within 3–4 sentences and avoid repetition.

Example: Yes. I had a bicycle when I was a child. I used it to cycle to school almost every day because it was convenient and much faster than walking. Also, it gave me a sense of independence and helped me get exercise.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion first, then explain with specific reasons and examples. Avoid hesitation sounds and unclear phrases. Use linking words like “because” and “for example.” Mention the actual scheme name if known (e.g. public bike-sharing) and state who uses it and why (cost, convenience, environment). Keep to 2–3 concise sentences.

Example: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in Korea. This is partly because of the public bike-sharing system, which offers cheap and convenient short trips, so many people use it for commuting and running errands. For example, students and office workers often rent bikes for short journeys instead of driving.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× I had a bike when I was child and also I often used because when I was a middle-aged school student I always used by to go to the school because it is so convenient and I could go to the school very faster rather than walking.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child, and I often used it because when I was a middle school student I always used it to go to school because it was so convenient and I could get to school much faster than walking.

Multiple errors: 'a child' needs the article 'a' (singular/plural issue), 'middle-aged school student' is incorrect phrasing; use 'middle school student' (word choice). 'used by to go' is ungrammatical—correct is 'used it to go' (missing object and wrong preposition). 'to the school' should be 'to school' (article use and common collocation). 'very faster' is incorrect comparative form; use 'much faster' (comparative error). Suggestions: include the article 'a' before 'child', use the noun phrase 'middle school student', supply the object 'it' after 'used', use 'to go to school' or 'to school', and replace 'very faster' with 'much faster'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I always used by to go to the school because it is so convenient

✓ I always used it to go to school because it was so convenient

The original misuses prepositions: 'used by to' is incorrect. The verb 'use' requires a direct object ('used it') and the correct infinitive phrase is 'to go to school' but in English the article is often omitted: 'go to school'. Also tense consistency: 'is' should be 'was' because the student is describing past habits. Suggestion: use 'used it to go to school' and keep past tense.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I could go to the school very faster rather than walking.

✓ I could get to school much faster than walking.

'Very faster' is ungrammatical because 'faster' is a comparative and cannot take 'very'; use 'much faster' or 'a lot faster'. Also 'go to the school' is better as 'get to school' or 'go to school' without the article. Use 'than' not 'rather than' for comparisons: 'faster than walking.' Suggestion: replace 'very' with 'much' and use 'faster than walking.'

There be issue

× Yeah, especially in Korea bikes are so popular because umm, there are a public bike named which is the pop policy of government.

✓ Yeah, especially in Korea bikes are very popular because there is a public bike system, which is a popular government policy.

Problems: 'there are a public bike' mixes plural 'are' with singular 'a public bike' (there be issue and article issue). Use 'there is' for singular or change to plural. The phrase 'named which is the pop policy of government' is unclear and ungrammatical; likely meant 'which is a popular government policy' (article and adjective). Suggestion: say 'there is a public bike system' or 'there are public bikes' and 'which is a popular government policy.'

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Government policy people could you can use despite for a cheap cost so many people.

✓ Because of this government policy, people can use it at a low cost, so many people do.

The sentence has misplaced and incorrect pronouns and modal verbs: 'Government policy people' is confusing; reorder to 'Because of this government policy, people...'. 'could you can use despite for a cheap cost' mixes modals and prepositions incorrectly. Use 'can use it at a low cost'. Also add a result clause 'so many people do' to complete the idea. Suggestion: restructure sentence to show cause and effect and use correct pronoun 'it' for the bike system and 'can' for ability.
