Examiner

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Candidate

Yeah, I had a bike when I was a kid. I remember my parents gave me the bike, 2 wheel bike as a present, so I used to extra support wheels when I was learning to write.

Examiner

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Candidate

Yeah, I think uh, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in big cities, uh, mainly because there are lots of bike lanes and also it's easy to rent a shared bike using an app. So people usually rent a bike for their rent, bikes for their commi.

Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct factual errors (e.g., “learning to ride” not “write”). Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific details using linking words. Avoid filler words and keep to 2–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents gave me a two-wheeled bike as a present, and I used training wheels at first while I was learning to ride. I practiced in our driveway every weekend until I felt confident to ride on the road.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Remove hesitations and correct sentence fragments. Give a clear main idea then support it with two specific reasons using linking words like “because” or “for example.” Keep answers grammatical and avoid repetitions.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially in large cities. This is because many cities have dedicated bike lanes and convenient shared-bike apps, so people often rent bikes for short commutes or errands.

Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× I remember my parents gave me the bike, 2 wheel bike as a present, so I used to extra support wheels when I was learning to write.

✓ I remember my parents gave me a two-wheel bike as a present, so I used extra support wheels when I was learning to ride.

The sentence has multiple issues but focusing on the allowed types: 'used to extra support wheels' misuses verb + -ing and verb structure. 'Used to' indicates a past habitual action and should be followed by the base form of a verb (not an infinitive with extra) or replaced with 'used' for the action. The verb 'ride' is the correct verb for using a bike, not 'write'. Also '2 wheel' should be 'two-wheel' (compound adjective). Suggestion: use 'used extra support wheels' or 'had extra support wheels' and correct 'learning to ride'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× So people usually rent a bike for their rent, bikes for their commi.

✓ So people usually rent a bike for their commute.

The original contains incorrect word choice and preposition issues: 'for their rent' and 'bikes for their commi' are fragments and incorrect collocations. The intended meaning is renting a bike for commuting. Use the noun 'commute' with the preposition 'for' to indicate purpose: 'for their commute'. Also remove redundant words.
