Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Відповідь природна й позитивна, але її можна покращити, зробивши вступну тезу коротшою, розбивши довге речення на 2–3 частини та додавши конкретний приклад або спогад. Також варто використати зв’язки (for example, because, so) для кращої логіки й уникнути загальних фраз на кшталт “everything was perfect.”

Example: Yes, I did. I loved my bike because of its bright colors and the perfect size for me when I was small. For example, in summer I often rode for hours along the riverside with my friends, which made those days feel carefree.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Ідея ясна, але речення незавершене й містить граматичну помилку («more convenience» замість «more convenient»). Потрібно завершити думку, уникати невизначених висловів і додати одну-дві конкретні причини або приклади з використанням зв’язок (because, for example, such as).

Example: Yes, I think so. Bikes are much more popular now than ten years ago because cities have built many dedicated cycling tracks and bike-sharing schemes. For example, my city introduced a public bike hire system last year, so more people use bikes for short trips to work or the shops.

Grammar

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Yes, and I loved my bike so much everything was perfect about it because I liked its colours, the size of it, and in summer I could spend almost a whole day cycling.

✓ Yes, and I loved my bike so much; everything about it was perfect because I liked its colours, its size, and in summer I could spend almost a whole day cycling.

The sentence originally mixes word order and uses 'the size of it' which is awkward; replace with the possessive pronoun 'its' to match 'its colours'. Also the clause order is clearer if 'everything about it was perfect' is used. Suggestion: use consistent possessive pronouns (its) and a clearer clause order. Additionally, insert a semicolon or period to separate the two main ideas for readability.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I definitely think that bikes are more popular now than ten years ago because nowadays we have more cycling tracks and it is more convenience for cyclists to drive in

✓ I definitely think that bikes are more popular now than ten years ago because nowadays we have more cycle tracks and it is more convenient for cyclists to ride on them.

Errors: 'more convenience' is incorrect; use the adjective 'more convenient' to modify 'it'. 'Drive in' is wrong collocation for bicycles; use 'ride' and 'on' or 'ride them'. 'Cycling tracks' is acceptable but 'cycle tracks' or 'bike lanes' are more natural. Also add the object 'them' to complete the prepositional phrase. Suggestion: use correct adjective forms and appropriate verbs/collocations for bicycles (ride, cycle), and include the object for prepositional phrases.
