Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Make your response clearer and more grammatical. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., 'They were' not 'Two of them Ema') and word order ('my parents bought them for me' and 'they were second-hand'). Avoid unnecessary fillers and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes. I had two bikes when I was a child. They were second-hand and quite light, which made them easy to ride. My parents bought them for me when I was about seven, and I used one for short rides around the neighborhood.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and vary your linking words. Start with a clear opinion, then add a specific reason or example. Avoid repeating the same connector ('so'). Use a wider range of vocabulary (e.g., 'commute', 'cyclists', 'increasingly common') and provide a brief supporting detail about when or where you see many cyclists.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Many people choose cycling to commute because it is cheap and avoids traffic, so you can see a lot of cyclists on main roads and near office areas during rush hour.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× Two of them Ema was cheaper and lighter.

✓ Two of them were cheaper and lighter.

The original sentence mixes plural 'Two of them' with a singular verb phrase 'Ema was'. This is a subject-verb agreement / plural reference issue. Change to 'were' to match the plural subject. Also remove or reposition the name 'Ema' if it refers to one of the bikes; if Ema is a bike's name, write 'One of them, Ema, was cheaper and lighter.' For this task we corrected to match the plural subject. Suggestion: If you mean a specific bike named Ema, write 'One of them, Ema, was cheaper and lighter.' If you mean both bikes, keep 'they were cheaper and lighter.'

Incorrect use of pronouns

× My parents bought to me well it was second hand bikes.

✓ My parents bought them for me; well, they were second-hand bikes.

The original sentence uses an incorrect object construction 'bought to me' and mixes singular/plural references. The verb 'buy' takes a direct object ('bought them') and the beneficiary is introduced with 'for me'. Also 'it was second hand bikes' is incorrect: 'they were second-hand bikes' agrees in number and uses the correct hyphenation for the compound adjective. Suggestion: Use 'bought them for me' and ensure pronouns and verbs agree in number. Use 'well' as a parenthetical separated by punctuation.

Present tense issue

× So in my country, a lot of people prefer to ride bikes when they commute to their workplace.

✓ In my country, many people prefer to ride bikes when they commute to work.

The sentence is mostly correct but can be improved for naturalness. 'A lot of' is informal and 'their workplace' is wordier than necessary; 'many' and 'commute to work' are more natural. Tense is present simple which correctly describes a habitual action, so no tense change is needed. Suggestion: Use concise, natural phrasing in spoken English.

Present tense issue

× So nowadays on the road, we can easily see a lot of bike users.

✓ Nowadays, we can easily see many people riding bikes on the road.

The present simple 'can see' is acceptable for general observation, but the original phrase 'a lot of bike users' is awkward. Better to say 'many people riding bikes.' Also move 'nowadays' to the front and place the phrase 'on the road' after 'riding bikes' for clearer word order. Suggestion: Use 'many people riding bikes' instead of 'a lot of bike users' for natural English.
