Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: Improve grammar (use past tense), remove fillers (umm), make answer more natural and concise, and add one brief supporting detail using a linking word. For example, start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then give a specific detail or reason. Keep to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I did. When I was a child I had a four-wheeled bike because I was still learning to balance. However, I never learned to ride a two-wheeled bicycle properly, so I still can’t ride one now.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 40.0

Suggestion: Clarify meaning and use precise vocabulary (popular vs common), avoid hesitations, and organize the answer: give a direct opinion, then support it with a specific example using linking words (e.g., however, because). Be concise and coherent; explain the bike-sharing system if relevant.

Example: I don’t think bicycles are very common nationwide. However, in my hometown there is a bike-sharing scheme, so many people rent bikes for short trips because public transport is limited. Therefore, cycling is more popular locally than in other parts of the country.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× When I was a child I have a bike with umm, 4 wheels, but now I don't know how to ride a bike.

✓ When I was a child I had a bike with four wheels, but now I don't know how to ride a bike.

The sentence refers to a past time ('When I was a child') so the verb should be in the past tense. 'Have' is present tense; change to 'had' to match the past context. Also write numbers in words in formal writing and remove filler words like 'umm'. Suggestion: use past simple for actions or possessions in the past and avoid filler words when speaking or writing.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I suppose that is not very famous, uh, type of transport in my country, but in my hometown umm, citizens can take a bike umm, for payment and due to. Then things.

✓ I suppose that it is not a very popular type of transport in my country, but in my hometown citizens can rent bikes for a fee.

Multiple issues: 'famous' is not the correct adjective for describing transport popularity; use 'popular'. The phrase needed an article: 'a very popular type'. 'Take a bike for payment' is awkward and ungrammatical — use 'rent bikes for a fee' or 'hire bikes for a fee'. Remove filler words 'uh' and 'umm' and the fragment 'due to. Then things' which is meaningless. Suggestion: choose precise adjectives (popular), include necessary articles, and use standard verbs like 'rent' or 'hire' with 'for a fee' to express paid service.
