Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Be concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and add one specific supporting detail. Use a linking word if you give extra information. For example, say whether it was your first bike, its color or how you used it. Also correct mistakes like “I had a back” → “I had a bike.”

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a red bicycle my father bought for me, and I rode it to the park every weekend.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Make the sentence structure clearer and use linking words to show contrast. Start with a direct answer, then give a specific reason and an example. Correct grammar (e.g., “used to be” → “used to be popular”) and prefer natural phrasing like “these days” or “nowadays.”

Example: They used to be popular, but nowadays people prefer motorbikes or electric bikes. For example, many families buy cars when they can afford them because cars are more comfortable for long trips.

Grammar

Past tense issue

× Yes, I had, I had a back when I was a child. Uh, my father bought it for me.

✓ Yes, I had one; I had a bike when I was a child. My father bought it for me.

The student used 'back' which is a typo for 'bike' and repeated 'I had' awkwardly; main issue is word choice rather than tense. Also 'one' or 'a bike' fits better. Correction clarifies meaning and uses appropriate past tense 'had' and 'bought'. Suggestion: proofread for typos and avoid unnecessary repetition; replace incorrect word 'back' with 'bike' or use 'one' to avoid repetition.

Present tense issue

× Actually it's used to be, but now people more likely choose a motorbike or electric bike or they would buy a car if they have enough money.

✓ Actually it used to be, but now people are more likely to choose a motorbike or an electric bike, or they will buy a car if they have enough money.

Multiple issues: 'it's used to be' is incorrect - correct phrase is 'it used to be' to express a past habit or state. 'People more likely choose' lacks auxiliary and correct structure; use 'are more likely to choose'. Also add articles 'an' before 'electric bike' and use 'will' for future likelihood 'they will buy a car'. Suggestions: use 'used to' for past habits, use 'be more likely to + verb' structure for probabilities, include necessary articles before singular countable nouns, and use consistent modal/future forms ('will' rather than 'would') when stating likely future actions based on conditions.
