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 quite simple with no use or special features, but I really loved it because I used to ride it all day in the countryside where I spent the whole summer with my grandparents and friends and I felt free exploring the fields and lanes.

Examiner

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Candidate

Actually no, I think there is a general tendency in Russia to use cars rather than bicycles. Many people prefer cars because cycling infrastructure is limited and to be honest, there is little public awareness about environmental issues and problems.

Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Ответ хорошо раскрывает вопрос: есть прямой ответ, описание велосипеда и личные детали. Однако выражение “with no use or special features” звучит неестественно; лучше сказать “with no special features” или “a basic bike”. Кроме того, последнее предложение слишком длинное и содержит много идей без чёткого разделения. Разделите его на два предложения и используйте связку, например “because” или “As a result”. Вместо “all day” можно использовать более естественное “for hours”, если вы не хотите звучать преувеличенно.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a basic bike with no special features, but I loved it. I used to ride it for hours in the countryside, where I spent my summers with my grandparents and friends. It made me feel free as I explored the fields and country lanes.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Ответ напрямую отвечает на вопрос и содержит две конкретные причины: недостаток велосипедной инфраструктуры и низкую экологическую осведомлённость. Однако начало “Actually no” лучше заменить на более естественное “Not particularly” или “I don’t think so”. Выражение “a general tendency ... to use cars” звучит формально и неестественно в устной речи; лучше сказать “most people tend to use cars”. Фраза “environmental issues and problems” избыточна — достаточно “environmental issues” или “environmental concerns”. Добавьте связку “Moreover” или “Another reason is that”, чтобы логично соединить причины.

Example: Not particularly. In Russia, most people tend to use cars rather than bicycles. One reason is that cycling infrastructure is still quite limited, especially outside major cities. Moreover, many people are not very aware of the environmental benefits of cycling.

Grammar

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It was quite simple with no use or special features, but I really loved it because I used to ride it all day in the countryside where I spent the whole summer with my grandparents and friends and I felt free exploring the fields and lanes.

✓ It was quite simple, with no useful or special features, but I really loved it because I used to ride it all day in the countryside, where I spent the whole summer with my grandparents and friends, and I felt free exploring the fields and lanes.

Use the adjective useful before the noun features. Use is usually a noun or a verb, so no use features is not grammatically appropriate in this context. Commas are also added to separate extra information and improve sentence clarity.
