Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 32.0Suggestion: Be clear and direct: start with a concise topic sentence that answers the question, then give one or two specific supporting details using appropriate linking words. Avoid incorrect phrases (e.g. “reading a bike”, “while the child”) and unnecessary hesitations. Use correct tense and simple vocabulary to describe past possession and reasons.
Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I wasn't good at riding, so my parents never bought one for me. However, I think cycling is healthy, and I regret not learning when I was younger.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Answer directly, then give clear, specific reasons or examples with linking words. Replace vague or incorrect phrases (e.g. “go banking”, “this kind of act”) with precise vocabulary such as “ride bikes”, “commute”, or “exercise”. Reduce filler words and maintain coherent sentence flow.
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in China. For example, many young people use them for short commutes or leisure rides, and older people often cycle for exercise. Additionally, shared bicycle services have made cycling more convenient in cities.
× Uh, well, to be honest, I'm not good at reading a bike.
✓ Uh, well, to be honest, I'm not good at riding a bike.
The verb 'reading' is incorrect collocation with 'bike'; the correct verb is 'ride' and in this progressive context use the -ing form 'riding'. Also the student uses present tense 'I'm not good' which is appropriate to describe a general ability. Suggestion: Learn common verb + noun collocations (ride a bike, drive a car). Practice replacing incorrect verbs with the correct action verbs.
× So actually I hadn't, uh, got a bike while the child and, uh, you know, it is good for healthy, so it's better to learn for it.
✓ So actually I didn't have a bike when I was a child, and, you know, it is good for your health, so it's better to learn to ride one.
Multiple problems: 'I hadn't got' is nonstandard for simple past; use 'I didn't have' or 'I hadn't had' depending on context — here simple past 'didn't have' fits. 'While the child' is incorrect phrase; use 'when I was a child'. 'Good for healthy' is incorrect adjective/noun usage; say 'good for your health' or 'good for your health'. 'Learn for it' is wrong; use 'learn to ride one' or 'learn to ride a bike'. Suggestion: Use simple past for completed states in childhood ('didn't have', 'when I was a child'). Use correct noun phrases ('your health') and infinitive after 'learn' ('learn to ride'). Break long sentences into shorter ones for clarity.
× Uh, yes, it's definitely, you know, there are a lot of young people in China, uh, use, uh, spending, uh, go, go banking, uh, in their free time.
✓ Uh, yes, definitely, there are a lot of young people in China who spend their free time cycling.
The original contains fragmented verbs ('use, spending, go, go banking') and incorrect noun 'banking' likely intended as 'biking' or 'cycling'. Use a relative clause 'who spend their free time cycling' for clear subject-verb relation. 'There are a lot of young people' is correct; follow with 'who spend' for proper connection. Suggestion: Decide on the intended activity ('cycling' or 'biking') and use clear verb patterns: 'people who do X' or 'people spend time V+ing'.
× And even some older people also like, uh, this kind of act.
✓ And even some older people also like this activity.
'This kind of act' is odd and unnatural in this context; 'activity' is the correct noun. The verb 'like' with 'also' is fine in present tense. Avoid hesitation words and use concise noun choices. Suggestion: Replace vague or literal translations ('act') with natural collocations ('activity', 'hobby', 'exercise').
