Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Improve grammatical accuracy and fluency: correct small errors and avoid redundancy. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Watch verb forms and remove repeated words (e.g., "very wasn't very good").

Example: Yes, I had a motorbike that my parents gave me for my tenth birthday. I often rode it to the park with friends, but at first I wasn’t good at balancing, so I practiced every weekend until I felt confident.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Improve sentence structure and coherence: divide long sentences, use linking words, and correct article use and phrasing (e.g., "an eco-friendly way"). Provide one specific example or brief comparison to make your answer more concrete.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Many people cycle to school or work when their destination is nearby; moreover, cycling is an eco-friendly mode of transport and also a healthy form of exercise.

Grammar

Verb in the past participle form

× Yes, I had a motorbike which I got from my 10th birthday.

✓ Yes, I had a motorbike which I got for my 10th birthday.

The preposition 'from' is incorrect with 'birthday' in this context; 'got from my birthday' suggests receiving from the event rather than receiving as a gift on that occasion. Use 'for my 10th birthday' to indicate something was given as a birthday gift. Suggestion: use 'for' with occasions when saying something was received as a gift.'

Sentence structure errors

× I used to ride it to the park with my friends but I was very wasn't very good at balancing at first so it took a lot of practice before I felt confident.

✓ I used to ride it to the park with my friends, but I wasn't very good at balancing at first, so it took a lot of practice before I felt confident.

This sentence contains a repetition and incorrect word order: 'I was very wasn't very good' is a repetition and ungrammatical. Also commas are needed to separate clauses. Correction removes the extra words and adds punctuation. Suggestion: avoid repeating the verb 'was' and place commas before coordinating conjunctions joining independent clauses.'

Sentence structure errors

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country people always ride a bike to go to school or go to workplace if the place are not too far from their home.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country. People always ride a bike to go to school or to work if the place is not too far from their home.

The original runs two independent clauses without punctuation. Also 'workplace' is better as 'work' here, and 'the place are' has a subject-verb agreement error: 'place' is singular so it needs 'is'. Splitting into two sentences improves clarity. Suggestion: separate independent clauses with a period or conjunction and ensure subject-verb agreement.'

Incorrect use of articles

× And I think riding bike is not only a eco friendly way but also a good exercise for people.

✓ And I think riding a bike is not only an eco-friendly way but also a good exercise for people.

Missing articles: 'riding bike' should be 'riding a bike'. 'a eco friendly' is incorrect; before a vowel sound use 'an' and 'eco-friendly' needs a hyphen. Suggestion: include appropriate articles ('a'/'an') and hyphenate compound adjectives; use 'an' before vowel sounds.
