Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 32.0Suggestion: Be direct and use past tense to match the question. Expand slightly with a clear topic sentence and one supporting detail. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences). Use linking words if you add more than one idea.
Example: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that I rode around my neighborhood every afternoon. It was my favorite toy because it made me feel independent, and my parents taught me to ride safely.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 38.0Suggestion: Organize your response with a clear topic sentence, use correct grammar and more precise vocabulary (e.g. ‘motorbikes’, ‘commute’), and avoid repetition. Provide one or two specific supporting details linked logically (use linking words like ‘because’ or ‘however’).
Example: Yes, motorbikes are more popular than bicycles in my city because they are faster for commuting and can carry passengers. However, bicycles are becoming more common among children and fitness enthusiasts for short rides and exercise.
× Yes, I do.
✓ Yes, I did.
The examiner asked about a past situation ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. 'Do' is present tense; replace with 'did' to match the past time frame. Suggestion: Use past tense verbs when referring to past events, e.g., 'I did' or 'I had'.
× Almost people in my city, they use motorbike to to go to work, learn or something like that.
✓ Most people in my city use motorbikes to go to work, study, or do other things.
Multiple issues: 'Almost people' is incorrect quantifier/order; use 'Most people' (quantifier and word order). Redundant subject 'they' after 'Most people' creates awkward structure. 'motorbike' should be plural 'motorbikes' when speaking generally. 'to to' is a typo; 'learn' is unnatural; use 'study' or 'attend school'. Also use plural noun and parallel verbs 'to go... , study, or do other things.' Suggestion: Use 'Most people' for general statements, avoid repeating the subject, use plural for general plural nouns, and keep parallel verb forms.
× The bike, the bike I think is more suitable for for trying around 5 to 10 years.
✓ Bicycles, I think, are more suitable for children around 5 to 10 years old.
Problems include repetition 'The bike, the bike'; subject-verb agreement and number: use plural 'Bicycles' with 'are'. 'Trying' is incorrect verb choice; likely meant 'for trying around' meaning 'for children aged' so use 'for children around 5 to 10 years old.' Also 'for for' is a typo. Use 'I think' set off by commas. Suggestion: Choose the correct noun ('bicycles' or 'the bike' consistently), ensure subject-verb agreement ('are'), and use appropriate phrases for age ('around 5 to 10 years old') and avoid repeating words.
