Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid repetition (e.g., "did have"). Use a linking phrase to connect ideas.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My grandfather taught me to ride it when I was about six, and I remember practicing every evening in our courtyard until I felt confident.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Make the answer more natural and specific. Start with a direct opinion, then give 1–2 clear reasons with linking words and correct grammar. Remove repetition and use context-relevant vocabulary (e.g., "exercise," "commute").

Example: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them for exercise or to lose weight, and others use bikes for short commutes and recreational cycling on weekends.

Grammar

Verb in the present participle form

× Yes, since I've been seeing a lot of people who who ride bicycles to lose weight and also it's their sports.

✓ Yes, I've been seeing a lot of people who ride bicycles to lose weight, and it's also a sport for them.

The original sentence has a repeated word 'who' (typo) and awkward phrasing 'it's their sports.' The phrase 'it's their sports' incorrectly uses plural 'sports' and an awkward possessive structure. Correct to 'it's also a sport for them' to use the singular countable noun 'sport' and clear subject. Also add a comma before 'and' to join clauses. The tense 'I've been seeing' is acceptable, so only fix present participle/phrase and noun number.

Sentence structure errors

× Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child and actually my grandfather was one who taught me how to ride a bicycle.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and my grandfather actually taught me how to ride it.

Using 'did have' is grammatically possible but unnecessary here; simple past 'I had' is more natural. 'Was one who taught me' is wordy; simplify to 'taught me.' Replace 'a bicycle' with 'it' to avoid repetition and improve cohesion. Add a comma before 'and' to separate independent clauses.
