Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (e.g., "my dad bought me a tricycle"), and add one specific supporting detail. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and avoid unnecessary repetition.

Example: Yes. When I was five my dad bought me a red tricycle, and it was my first time learning to ride. I remember practicing in the driveway every evening, which made me feel confident about trying a bicycle later.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Reduce hesitation and repetition, use a clear topic sentence, and give one or two specific reasons with linking words (e.g., "because" or "so"). Use correct collocations like "healthy lifestyle" and improved grammar ("young families prefer cycling"). Keep it to 2–3 concise sentences.

Example: Yes, cycling is becoming increasingly popular in my country because more people are adopting a healthy lifestyle. For example, many young families choose to cycle to parks and local shops instead of driving, which also saves money and reduces traffic.

Grammar

Verb in the past participle form

× Yes, I remember when I was five years old, my daddy bought for me tricycle.

✓ Yes, I remember when I was five years old, my daddy bought a tricycle for me.

The verb 'bought' is correct (past simple), but the word order and article are incorrect. English uses the article 'a' before singular, countable nouns ('a tricycle') and the indirect object is normally placed after the direct object with 'for' following it ('bought a tricycle for me'), not 'bought for me tricycle'. Suggestion: Use 'bought a tricycle for me' or 'bought me a tricycle'.

Sentence structure errors

× It was my first experience with riding and my daddy.

✓ It was my first experience with riding a bike with my daddy.

The original sentence has an incomplete structure and unclear parallelism: 'with riding and my daddy' is ungrammatical. You need a noun after 'riding' and a clear prepositional phrase indicating accompaniment. Suggestion: specify the object of 'riding' ('riding a bike') and use 'with my daddy' to show togetherness.

Subject-verb agreement errors

× It's quite popular, Umm, I think that now it's becoming more, uh, more popular, uh, due to uh, due to. Healthy style of living, Uh, most of young families, they prefer to ride a bike.

✓ Bicycles are quite popular. I think they are becoming more popular now because of a healthier lifestyle. Most young families prefer to ride bikes.

There are multiple issues: 'It's quite popular' is vague—plural subject 'bicycles' suits the question. 'Due to. Healthy style of living' is fragmented and needs correct article and adjective 'a healthier lifestyle'. 'Most of young families, they prefer' shows subject redundancy and wrong preposition: use 'Most young families prefer' or 'Most of the young families prefer' (with 'the'). Also match plural nouns and verbs: 'bikes'/'bicycles' with 'are' and 'prefer'. Suggestions: use concise sentences, correct articles ('a healthier lifestyle'), remove redundant pronouns, and ensure subject-verb agreement.
