Conversation

Part 1

Examiner

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Candidate

Yes, I had a bike when I was a child and I loved riding it around my neighbourhood. I often used to go out with my friends to the local parks on my bike and that was the best time of my life.

Examiner

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Candidate

No, bikes are not popular in my country since my country is not safe for people travelling on bikes and people don't follow the road rules that much so people prefer traveling through buses or cars or even motorcycles, but not on bikes.

Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 88.0

Suggestion: Your answer is clear, relevant, and well organized. You directly answer the question and add specific supporting details about riding with friends and visiting local parks. However, “often used to go” is slightly redundant because “used to” already expresses a past habit, and “the best time of my life” sounds exaggerated for this context. Use a more natural phrase such as “some of my happiest childhood memories.”

Example: Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child, and I loved riding it around my neighbourhood. I often rode to the local park with my friends, and those outings are some of my happiest childhood memories.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: You give a direct answer and provide relevant reasons, but the sentence is too long and contains several repeated or awkward phrases, such as “my country” and “travelling through buses.” Divide the response into two or three sentences and use more natural expressions, such as “cycling is unsafe,” “many drivers do not follow traffic rules,” and “people prefer to travel by bus, car, or motorcycle.” Adding a linking word like “As a result” will make the logic clearer.

Example: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Cycling can be unsafe because many drivers do not follow traffic rules, and there are not enough dedicated bike lanes. As a result, people generally prefer to travel by bus, car, or motorcycle.

Grammar

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× No, bikes are not popular in my country since my country is not safe for people travelling on bikes and people don't follow the road rules that much so people prefer traveling through buses or cars or even motorcycles, but not on bikes.

✓ No, bikes are not popular in my country since my country is not safe for people traveling by bike, and people don't follow the road rules that much, so they prefer traveling by bus, car, or even motorcycle, but not by bike.

The preposition by is used to describe the method of transportation: travel by bike, travel by bus, travel by car, and travel by motorcycle. Through buses is incorrect in this context because through describes movement from one side of something to the other, not the means of transportation. On bikes is possible in some contexts, but by bike is the more natural expression when describing transportation.
