Part 1
Examiner
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Candidate
Yes, I do. When I was a child I would always be riding my bike around my house daily with my brothers and cousins, so it was a really good memory that I wouldn't want to forget.
Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
I don't see people around my area using bikes often, I rather see them using motorcycles because here we don't have roads for bicycles and the motorcycles are very cheap and it's very convenient for the locals.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Answer in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: say “Yes, I did,” not “Yes, I do.” Use the natural phrase “I used to ride my bike” instead of “I would always be riding my bike,” and avoid redundancy such as “daily” after “always.” You could also add one specific detail about where you rode or how you felt.
Example: Yes, I did. I used to ride my bike around my neighborhood with my brothers and cousins almost every day. It was a lot of fun, and those rides are some of my favorite childhood memories.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Give a clear opening statement and connect your ideas with linking words. Replace “I rather see” with “I would rather say” or “I see,” and use “bike lanes” or “bicycle paths” instead of “roads for bicycles.” Avoid joining several ideas with one long sentence; explain that motorcycles are more popular because they are cheaper and more convenient for local transportation.
Example: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country, at least in my area. Most people use motorcycles instead because there are very few bike lanes. In addition, motorcycles are relatively cheap and convenient, especially for commuting and traveling long distances.
× Yes, I do.
✓ Yes, I did.
The question asks about a past situation—whether you had a bike when you were a child. Therefore, the past-tense auxiliary did must be used instead of the present-tense do.
× I don't see people around my area using bikes often, I rather see them using motorcycles because here we don't have roads for bicycles and the motorcycles are very cheap and it's very convenient for the locals.
✓ I don't often see people in my area using bikes. I would rather see them using motorcycles because we don't have bicycle lanes here, and motorcycles are very cheap and convenient for local people.
The expression would rather is used to express a preference, so would is required before rather. The original sentence also joins two complete sentences with only a comma. Separating them with a period makes the sentence structure clearer.
