Part 1

Examiner

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Candidate

Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a red bike and I used to ride it around my house and my school. There was like a pathway in the back yard of my house. So I used to ride it every day there.

Examiner

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Candidate

Now I don't think that bikes are popular in my country because I think I think as I know there are limited bikeways for cyclists and it's not very comfortable for riding bikes.

Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and then add specific details about the bike and where you rode it. Avoid the filler phrase “There was like”; use “There was a pathway” instead. Also, combine the final sentences more naturally and avoid repeating “used to ride.”

Example: Yes, I had a red bike when I was a child. I often rode it along a pathway behind my house and sometimes cycled to school. I enjoyed riding it every day because it gave me a sense of freedom.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: State your opinion clearly without repeating “I think.” Remove the unnatural phrase “as I know” and use “as far as I know” if necessary. Improve the vocabulary and grammar by saying “there are few dedicated bike lanes” and “cycling is not very safe or convenient.” Add one specific reason or comparison to make the answer more developed.

Example: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. As far as I know, there are very few dedicated bike lanes, so cycling can be unsafe and inconvenient, especially in busy cities. Most people therefore prefer to use cars or public transportation.

Grammar

20: Incorrect adverb placement

× So I used to ride it every day there.

✓ So I used to ride it there every day.

The adverb there should be placed immediately after the verb phrase ride it because it indicates the location. The frequency adverb every day is more naturally placed at the end of the sentence. A clear pattern is: subject + verb + object + place + frequency.
