Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: Answer directly in the past tense. Your response is contradictory because you first say you had a bike and then say you did not have one. Use “have” or “own” rather than “do have,” and say “a bicycle” or “a bike,” not “cycle” in this context. Add one specific detail, such as when you rode it or why you did not have one.
Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it was unsafe to ride one on the busy roads near our home. However, I often borrowed my friend’s bicycle at weekends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: State your opinion clearly and avoid repeating that bikes are popular. Use “in Nepal” instead of “in my country Nepal,” and replace “blogging” with “vlogging” if you mean making videos. Organize your ideas with linking words such as “because” and “also,” and use accurate phrases like “go cycling with their friends” and “cycling enthusiasts.” Give one specific reason or example to make the answer more effective.
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Nepal, especially among young people. Many cycling enthusiasts go riding with their friends at weekends because it is an enjoyable way to exercise and explore the countryside. Some of them also make vlogs about their cycling trips and share them online.
× Yeah, I do have MMM, not a bike, but I don't have cycle.
✓ Yeah, I did have a cycle, but I didn't have a bike.
The question asks about the past, so use the past form did have and didn't have instead of the present forms do have and don't have. When answering questions about childhood, keep the main verbs in the past tense.
× Yeah, I do have MMM, not a bike, but I don't have cycle.
✓ Yeah, I did have a cycle, but I didn't have a bike.
Cycle and bike are singular countable nouns, so they need the indefinite article a when referring to one nonspecific item. Say a cycle and a bike, not cycle and bike alone.
× Yeah, in my country Nepal, it is so popular to ride and many people do also blogging here and go ride with your friends Rudors and it is popular in my country.
✓ Yeah, in my country, Nepal, cycling is very popular. Many people also go biking and go riding with their friends.
After go, use a verb in the -ing form when describing recreational activities: go biking and go riding. The form do also blogging is not grammatically appropriate here. Use also go biking or also go riding instead.
× Yeah, in my country Nepal, it is so popular to ride and many people do also blogging here and go ride with your friends Rudors and it is popular in my country.
✓ Yeah, in my country, Nepal, cycling is very popular. Many people also go biking and go riding with their friends.
The subject is many people, so use the possessive pronoun their, not your. Use your only when speaking directly about the listener's friends.
× Yeah, in my country Nepal, it is so popular to ride and many people do also blogging here and go ride with your friends Rudors and it is popular in my country.
✓ Yeah, in my country, Nepal, cycling is very popular. Many people also go biking and go riding with their friends.
The original sentence contains several ideas joined together without clear structure, making it a run-on sentence. Divide the ideas into two sentences and use a clear subject, such as cycling, to make the answer easier to understand.
