Part 1

Examiner

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Candidate

No, I didn't have a bike as a child because my parents lived in a highly trafficated city where cycling wasn't safe. So I usually walked or took the bus to school. I sometimes wished for a bike, but my parents always preferred public transportation for safety reasons.

Examiner

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Candidate

Yes, I think cycling is very popular, especially among generation Z. Many young people enjoy risky activities and biking is an easy, affordable way to commute and socialize with friends.

Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct small errors (e.g. "highly trafficated" → "highly trafficked" or "heavy traffic"). Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail and a brief reason. Avoid repeating the same point (safety mentioned twice).

Example: No, I didn't have a bike as a child because we lived in a city with heavy traffic, so cycling felt unsafe. Instead, I usually walked or took the bus to school. I did sometimes wish I could ride with friends, but my parents preferred public transport for safety reasons.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Provide one clear topic sentence then add a specific example or reason and use a linking word to connect ideas (e.g. "for example", "because"). Avoid vague phrasing like "risky activities" unless you explain. Use precise vocabulary (e.g. "young people" → "young adults").

Example: Yes, cycling is very popular in my country, especially among young adults. For example, many students use bikes to commute because it's affordable and faster in congested areas, and they also ride together on weekends to socialize.

Grammar

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× No, I didn't have a bike as a child because my parents lived in a highly trafficated city where cycling wasn't safe.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike as a child because my parents lived in a highly trafficked city where cycling wasn't safe.

The adjective 'trafficated' is not standard English. The correct adjective is 'trafficked' (meaning having a lot of traffic). Replace the incorrect form with the proper adjective. Suggestion: learn common adjective forms derived from nouns (traffic -> trafficked) and check a dictionary when in doubt.

Singular and plural issue

× Yes, I think cycling is very popular, especially among generation Z.

✓ Yes, I think cycling is very popular, especially among Generation Z.

'generation Z' should be capitalized and treated as a proper noun; also 'Generation Z' is fine in singular form as a group name. The issue here is capitalization and proper noun formatting rather than plurality. Suggestion: capitalize proper names and group labels (Generation Z).

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Many young people enjoy risky activities and biking is an easy, affordable way to commute and socialize with friends.

✓ Many young people enjoy risky activities, and biking is an easy, affordable way to commute and socialize with friends.

This sentence is grammatically correct but benefits from a comma before the conjunction 'and' joining two independent clauses for clarity. The change improves readability; suggestion: use a comma before coordinating conjunctions that join independent clauses.
