Examiner
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidate
Bags are popular in my country. It's very easy to ride a bike, especially when there is traffic, so most people take bikes.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Answer the question directly and correct the likely vocabulary and grammar errors: use “bike,” not “bag,” “would go” or “went,” not “will go,” and “when we came back from school,” not “whenever we close from school.” Keep the answer to three or four well-connected sentences and add one specific detail about where or when you rode your bike.
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it with my friends after school, usually around our neighborhood. We rode mainly for fun, and sometimes we went to a nearby park.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Give a direct opinion and support it with a clear reason and specific result. Correct “bags” to “bikes,” and use “people use bikes” or “people ride bikes” instead of “people take bikes.” You could also mention who uses them or in which situations, such as commuting or avoiding traffic.
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in crowded cities. They are affordable and convenient, and people can use them to avoid heavy traffic. Many students and office workers ride bikes to school or work.
× We will go out just to have fun.
✓ We would go out just to have fun.
The answer describes a repeated activity during the student's childhood, so the future form will go is inappropriate. Use would go or used to go to describe a repeated past habit.
× Whenever we close from school, that's what we do.
✓ Whenever we came home from school, that's what we did.
Because the student is talking about childhood, the verbs should be in the past tense: came and did. The phrase came home from school is also the natural expression for returning from school.
