Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Make your answer more complete and natural by using a clear topic sentence, adding a brief reason or detail, and using linking words. Keep it under five sentences. For example, start with a direct response, then explain why you didn’t learn and add a short consequence or feeling.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but I never learned to ride it without training wheels. Because my parents worried about safety, they kept the training wheels on, so I never got the chance to practice balancing. As a result, I still feel a bit nervous about riding a regular bike now.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give specific supporting details and use linking words to connect ideas. Avoid repeating personal inability unless it directly supports the point about popularity; keep it concise and focused on the question asked.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for commuting and short trips. For instance, I often see cyclists on dedicated bike lanes and parked bikes near markets, which shows they are a common mode of transport. However, personally I never learned to ride without training wheels, so I rarely cycle myself.

Grammar

Verb in the past participle form

× Yes but I never learned how to ride a bike without training wheels

✓ Yes, but I never learned how to ride a bike without training wheels.

Missing punctuation only; no grammar type from list except sentence structure—however the sentence is fine. Added a comma after 'Yes' and a period at the end for correctness and clarity. Suggestion: use a comma after introductory 'Yes' and end sentences with punctuation.

Pronoun issue / Incorrect use of pronouns

× I would say that they are popular here because I see a lot of people using bikes.

✓ I would say that they are popular here because I see a lot of people riding bikes.

Using 'using bikes' is not incorrect but 'riding bikes' is more natural for bicycles. This is an issue of word choice rather than a strict grammatical category from the provided list; mapped to pronoun/word use. Suggestion: prefer 'ride' with bicycles to improve naturalness.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I just don't know how to use it without supporting wheels because growing up I never learned how to use without them

✓ I just don't know how to ride one without training wheels because when I was growing up I never learned how to do it without them.

Problems: wrong verb choice 'use' for bicycles and inconsistent pronouns ('it' then 'them'). Also missing time expression clarity. Corrected to 'ride one' for singular bicycle and 'them' for 'training wheels'. Added 'when I was growing up' to match past tense. Suggestion: use consistent pronouns and the correct verb for the action (ride), and include clear time expressions for past learning experiences.
