Examiner

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Candidate

Yes, definitely. I had a bike that named Hero MotoCorp and I really loved it because I was a really excited student at that time and I loved riding that bike. It was I, I used to ride it really fast with my friends and my colleagues and I really enjoyed it driving.

Examiner

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Candidate

Yes, of course, India is really famous for bikes as the temperature over here is really good and we love riding the bikes. The feeling of riding the bike gives us the feeling of freedom and the prices of petrol are also costlier so we usually use bikes as it is much cheaper to ride.

Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and organize your answer: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., “a bike named…”, avoid repetition like “I really”). Mention one specific memory or reason to give concrete detail.

Example: Yes. I had a bike called a Hero MotoCorp when I was a child. I loved it because it let me ride to school and explore my neighborhood. For example, I often rode quickly with my friends along the river road, which felt exciting and gave me a sense of freedom.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence then support it with two precise reasons connected by linking words. Avoid vague phrases like “temperature is really good”; use specific contrasts or statistics if possible. Correct small grammar errors (e.g., “petrol is expensive,” “they are cheaper to run”).

Example: Yes. Bikes are very popular in India for two main reasons. First, they are economical because petrol is expensive and bikes consume less fuel. Second, they are convenient for navigating crowded cities, so many people prefer bikes for daily commuting.

Grammar

Verb in the past participle form

× I had a bike that named Hero MotoCorp and I really loved it because I was a really excited student at that time and I loved riding that bike.

✓ I had a bike that was named Hero MotoCorp, and I really loved it because I was a very excited student at that time and I loved riding that bike.

The clause 'that named Hero MotoCorp' is missing the passive auxiliary 'was' to form the past participle passive 'was named'. Also 'really excited' modifying a state is better as 'very excited' for style. Suggestion: use passive with past participle for things given names: 'a bike that was named ...'. Use 'very' instead of redundant 'really excited' for clarity.

Verb + -ing form

× It was I, I used to ride it really fast with my friends and my colleagues and I really enjoyed it driving.

✓ I used to ride it really fast with my friends and colleagues, and I really enjoyed riding it.

The sentence is awkward and combines pronoun fragments and incorrect verb forms. 'It was I,' is unnecessary. Use 'used to ride' for habitual past and 'enjoyed riding' (verb + -ing) rather than 'enjoyed it driving'. Remove duplicated pronouns 'my friends and my colleagues' to 'friends and colleagues'.

Incorrect use of articles

× Yes, of course, India is really famous for bikes as the temperature over here is really good and we love riding the bikes.

✓ Yes, of course. India is really famous for bikes because the weather here is very pleasant and we love riding bikes.

'the temperature over here is really good' is informal and 'the weather here' is more natural. Remove 'the' before 'bikes' when speaking generally: 'famous for bikes' and 'love riding bikes'. Also use 'because' for cause. Replace 'really good' with 'very pleasant' for formality.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× The feeling of riding the bike gives us the feeling of freedom and the prices of petrol are also costlier so we usually use bikes as it is much cheaper to ride.

✓ The experience of riding a bike gives us a sense of freedom, and petrol prices are high, so we usually use bikes because they are much cheaper to run.

Avoid repetitive 'feeling' by using 'experience' and 'sense of freedom'. 'Prices of petrol are also costlier' is awkward; use 'petrol prices are high'. 'Use bikes as it is much cheaper to ride' has pronoun and agreement errors; use plural agreement 'they are much cheaper to run' or 'to use'. Also prefer 'because' for cause and 'a bike' or 'bikes' consistently.
