Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Candidate
I did. I remember that I used to go biking. I mean not exactly biking because my father tried to learn me how to use a bike for a very long time. But he finally did it and when we went on our first drive, I fell and broke my.
Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
I think so, yeah. Especially in Warsaw, every day when I'm going for a walk with my dog or when I'm going to work, I see people biking, uh, as an aim of transportation and also as a form of spending their free time and also as a way to.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 56.0Suggestion: Be more concise and accurate, use correct grammar, fix vocabulary errors, and add a clear topic sentence plus one or two coherent supporting details linked with connectors. Specifically: start with a direct response ('Yes, I did.'), avoid filler phrases like 'I mean', use correct verbs and objects ('teach me', 'ride a bike', 'fell and broke my arm'), and keep it within 3–4 sentences. Add one brief detail about when or how you learned to give content specificity.
Example: Yes, I did. My father taught me to ride a bike when I was about seven, and it took him a long time to show me the basics. On our first outing I fell and broke my arm, but after recovering I kept practising and soon became confident riding on my own.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Give a direct statement then support it with specific examples and use clear linking words. Avoid hesitations ('uh') and incomplete sentences. Replace awkward phrases ('as an aim of transportation') with natural expressions ('as a means of transport'). Provide one concrete reason or comparison to strengthen your answer and finish the final idea. Keep to 2–4 sentences.
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular, especially in Warsaw. For example, I see many commuters cycling to work and families using bikes at weekends, so people use bicycles both as a means of transport and for leisure.
× I remember that I used to go biking.
✓ I remember that I used to go cycling.
'Biking' is understandable but in British English 'cycling' is more natural for riding a bicycle. Use a more appropriate gerund noun to match common usage.
× I mean not exactly biking because my father tried to learn me how to use a bike for a very long time.
✓ I mean not exactly cycling because my father tried to teach me how to use a bike for a very long time.
The verb 'teach' should be used with the indirect object 'me' (teach me), not 'learn me'. 'Learn' is intransitive or takes the thing learned (I learned English), so using 'teach' is correct.
× But he finally did it and when we went on our first drive, I fell and broke my.
✓ But he finally succeeded and when we went on our first ride, I fell and broke my arm.
'Did it' is vague; 'succeeded' clarifies the action. 'Drive' is used for cars; for bikes use 'ride'. The sentence is incomplete 'broke my' needs an object (e.g., 'arm'). Also use past simple 'fell' and 'broke' consistently.
× I think so, yeah. Especially in Warsaw, every day when I'm going for a walk with my dog or when I'm going to work, I see people biking, uh, as an aim of transportation and also as a form of spending their free time and also as a way to.
✓ I think so, yeah. Especially in Warsaw, every day when I'm going for a walk with my dog or when I'm going to work, I see people cycling as a means of transport, as a way to spend their free time, and for commuting.
Replace 'biking' with 'cycling' for naturalness. 'Aim of transportation' is incorrect; use 'means of transport' or 'for transportation'. 'Form of spending their free time' should be 'a way to spend their free time'. The sentence ended incomplete; provide a suitable final phrase like 'and for commuting' to finish the list. Use parallel structure for the list items.
