Score: 55.0Suggestion: Cavabınız suala birbaşa cavab verir və uşaqlıq təcrübənizlə bağlı konkret məlumat təqdim edir. Lakin zaman formalarında və qrammatik strukturlarda səhvlər var: “I have a bike in my childhood” əvəzinə “I had a bike when I was a child”, “which I bought it” əvəzinə “which my aunt bought for me”, “got used it” əvəzinə “got used to riding it” və “turned off a very good driver” əvəzinə “became a very good cyclist” işlədilməlidir. “Also” sözündən sonra fikri daha aydın qurun və cavabınızı səbəb və ya nəticə ilə zənginləşdirin. Tərəddüd ifadələrini (“uh”, “umm”) azaltmaq cavabınızı daha təbii və effektiv edər.
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My aunt bought it for me as a present on my first day at school. At first, I found it difficult to ride, but I gradually got used to it and became a confident cyclist. I really enjoyed riding it around my neighborhood.

Score: 50.0Suggestion: Cavabınızda müqayisə və səbəb göstərməyiniz yaxşıdır, lakin bəzi ifadələr anlaşılmaz və qrammatik cəhətdən yanlışdır. “Car is more popular” əvəzinə ümumi mənada “Cars are more popular”, “there are not exactly bikeways” əvəzinə “there are not enough cycle lanes” deyin. İkinci cümlədəki “officers are students prefer bikes to get their homes” ifadəsi aydın deyil; ehtimal ki, “office workers and students prefer cycling to work or school” demək istəyirsiniz. Ölkənizdə velosipedlərin niyə az istifadə edildiyini daha konkret izah edin və fikirləri “however” və “because” kimi bağlayıcılarla məntiqli şəkildə əlaqələndirin.
Example: I would say that cars are more popular than bikes in my country. This is mainly because there are not enough cycle lanes, so cycling can be unsafe in busy areas. However, office workers and students are starting to use bikes more often because traffic is becoming increasingly heavy. I think cycling could become more popular if better infrastructure were provided.
× Well, I have a bike in my childhood which I bought it by my aunt, uh, for my first day at school.
✓ Well, I had a bike in my childhood, which my aunt bought for me for my first day at school.
The question asks about the past, so have must change to had. The past simple is used to describe possession during childhood.
× Well, I have a bike in my childhood which I bought it by my aunt, uh, for my first day at school.
✓ Well, I had a bike in my childhood, which my aunt bought for me for my first day at school.
The relative pronoun which already functions as the object of bought, so the extra pronoun it is unnecessary. Also, my aunt should be the subject because she bought the bike.
× Umm, also first time it was difficult to drive it, then I got used it and I turned off a very good driver on it.
✓ Also, the first time, it was difficult to ride it, but then I got used to it and became a very good rider.
The phrase first time normally refers to a specific occasion and therefore requires the definite article: the first time.
× Umm, also first time it was difficult to drive it, then I got used it and I turned off a very good driver on it.
✓ Also, the first time, it was difficult to ride it, but then I got used to it and became a very good rider.
The expression is get used to something, not get used something. The preposition to is required before the noun or pronoun.
× Umm, also first time it was difficult to drive it, then I got used it and I turned off a very good driver on it.
✓ Also, the first time, it was difficult to ride it, but then I got used to it and became a very good rider.
The original sentence joins several independent ideas with commas and does not use an appropriate conjunction. Use but to show the contrast between the initial difficulty and the later improvement.
× Honestly, car is more popular compared to bikes because they are not exactly bikeways in our country.
✓ Honestly, cars are more popular than bikes because there are not enough bike lanes in our country.
Cars is used to make a general statement about vehicles in plural. The plural subject cars requires the plural verb are.
× Honestly, car is more popular compared to bikes because they are not exactly bikeways in our country.
✓ Honestly, cars are more popular than bikes because there are not enough bike lanes in our country.
Use there are to express the existence or availability of plural bike lanes. There is is used with singular nouns, while there are is used with plural nouns.
× However, in European countries UMM officers are students prefer bikes to get their homes before because of busy traffic.
✓ However, in European countries, office workers and students prefer bikes to get to their homes because of heavy traffic.
The original sentence has an incorrect subject structure: officers are students prefer. Office workers and students should form one compound subject followed by the verb prefer.
× However, in European countries UMM officers are students prefer bikes to get their homes before because of busy traffic.
✓ However, in European countries, office workers and students prefer bikes to get to their homes because of heavy traffic.
The verb get requires the preposition to when it is followed by a destination. Therefore, say get to their homes, not get their homes.
