Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid repeating the same idea. “Bike” and “bicycle” have the same meaning here, so there is no need to clarify this. Add one specific detail, such as how often you used it or where you rode it, to make your answer more natural and informative.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a blue bicycle when I was about eight years old, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Use the comparative form “more popular,” not “much popular,” and use the plural “cars” when speaking generally. Also, add a reason or example to support your opinion and make the answer more developed.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are more popular than cars in some parts of my country because they are cheaper and more convenient for short journeys. Many people also use them to avoid traffic.

Grammar

25: Comparative and superlative errors

× Yes, bikes are much popular than the car in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are much more popular than cars in my country.

When comparing two things, use the comparative form more popular, not popular. Much can be used before a comparative adjective to strengthen the comparison. Cars is more natural than the car when referring to cars in general.
