Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Soruyu doğrudan yanıtlamış ve bisikletin rengini, yaşınızı ve neden bisiklete bindiğinizi belirtmişsiniz. Ancak “uh” gibi dolgu ifadelerini kullanmamaya çalışın; ayrıca “to my school” yerine “to school” daha doğal olur. “Everywhere” ifadesini belirli bir örnekle destekleyerek cevabı daha özgün hâle getirebilirsiniz.

Example: Yes, I had a small red bike when I was seven. I often rode it to school and around my neighbourhood because I loved cycling. At weekends, I sometimes went for rides with my friends.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: Görüşünüzü ve nedenini açıkça belirtmişsiniz; bu, cevabın temel yapısını güçlendiriyor. Ancak “they do not get respected in the traffic” doğal bir ifade değildir. Bunun yerine sürücülerin bisikletlilere yeterince dikkat etmediğini anlatan “drivers don’t pay enough attention to cyclists” ifadesini kullanabilirsiniz. “So” öncesinde cümleyi noktalama işaretiyle ayırın ve mümkünse güvenli bisiklet yollarının azlığı gibi somut bir ayrıntı ekleyin.

Example: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Many drivers don’t pay enough attention to cyclists, so cycling on busy roads can be dangerous. There also aren’t many dedicated bike lanes in some areas.

Grammar

16: Incorrect conjunction use

× No, I do not think bikes are popular in our country because they do not get respected in the traffic so it is risky to cycle.

✓ No, I do not think bikes are popular in our country because they are not respected in traffic, and cycling is risky.

The sentence uses because and so together to connect the same cause-and-result relationship, which makes the conjunction structure incorrect. Use because to introduce the reason and connect the result with and, or use so without because.

22: Article errors

× No, I do not think bikes are popular in our country because they do not get respected in the traffic so it is risky to cycle.

✓ No, I do not think bikes are popular in our country because they are not respected in traffic, and cycling is risky.

The definite article the is not normally used before traffic when referring to traffic in general. Say in traffic. Use the traffic only when referring to a specific traffic situation already known to the listener.
