Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Candidate

Thank you for this question. Actually, I never had a bike, but I always dreamed of bike since I was like four and five years old but I asked my parents to purchase a bike for me but as our apartment was close to the road they were telling that there

Examiner

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Candidate

Unfortunately bikes are not that popular since we don't have lots of bike lines in our city roads designated bike lanes though the people are not that interested in purchasing a bike because of that. Cars are more popular in my country.

Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 56.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and complete your sentences. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid unnecessary phrases (e.g., "Thank you for this question") and incomplete endings. Also correct simple grammar: use "dreamed of having a bike" or "dreamt of a bike," and past tense consistently. Keep the answer within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I dreamed of having one from the age of four because I loved watching other children ride. However, my parents were worried because our apartment was next to a busy road, so they didn't buy me one for safety reasons.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Make your response clearer and more structured: begin with a direct statement answering the question, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words (e.g., "because," "also"). Use precise vocabulary like "bike lanes" and avoid repetition. Try to split long sentences into shorter, coherent ones for fluency.

Example: Bikes are not very popular in my country. This is mainly because our cities lack designated bike lanes, so cycling feels unsafe. As a result, most people prefer cars for convenience and safety.

Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Actually, I never had a bike, but I always dreamed of bike since I was like four and five years old but I asked my parents to purchase a bike for me but as our apartment was close to the road they were telling that there

✓ Actually, I never had a bike, but I always dreamed of having one since I was about four or five years old. I asked my parents to buy a bike for me, but because our apartment was close to the road they were saying it was not safe.

Multiple issues: incorrect preposition and noun phrase 'dreamed of bike' should be 'dreamed of having a bike' or 'dreamed of one' (preposition and article use). 'Since I was like four and five years old' is awkward; use 'since I was about four or five years old' for clarity. 'Asked my parents to purchase' is grammatical but 'to buy' is more natural. The long run-on sentence lacks proper clause boundaries; split into two sentences and add a clear reason clause 'because our apartment was close to the road' and finish the thought 'they were saying it was not safe.' Suggestions: use correct prepositions with 'dream of' + noun/gerund, use articles ('a' bike), avoid filler 'like', choose natural verbs ('buy' instead of 'purchase'), and break long sentences into shorter ones.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Unfortunately bikes are not that popular since we don't have lots of bike lines in our city roads designated bike lanes though the people are not that interested in purchasing a bike because of that.

✓ Unfortunately, bikes are not that popular since we don't have many designated bike lanes on our city roads, and people are not very interested in buying bikes because of that.

Problems: 'lots of bike lines in our city roads designated bike lanes' mixes word order and preposition use. Use 'many designated bike lanes on our city roads' for correct adjective order and preposition. 'Though the people are not that interested' is awkward; use 'and people are not very interested'. 'Purchasing a bike' is correct but 'buying bikes' is more natural and matches plural 'bikes'. Suggestions: place adjectives before nouns in proper order ('designated bike lanes'), use 'on' for lanes on roads, choose consistent plural/singular forms, and connect clauses with proper conjunctions.
