Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 48.0

Suggestion: ควรใช้กาลอดีตให้ตรงกับคำถาม โดยเปลี่ยน “Yes, I do” เป็น “Yes, I did” และใช้คำให้เป็นธรรมชาติ เช่น “a four-wheeled bike” หรือ “a bike with training wheels” หากหมายถึงจักรยานที่มีล้อช่วยพยุง ตอบให้ชัดว่าตอนเด็กขี่แบบไหนและปัจจุบันเปลี่ยนมาเป็นอย่างไร พร้อมเชื่อมรายละเอียดด้วย “because” หรือ “but”

Example: Yes, I did. When I was a child, I had a bike with training wheels because I couldn’t ride a regular two-wheeled bike. I can ride a normal bike now.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: ตอบให้เป็นธรรมชาติว่า “They’re not very popular” แทน “Not that much of popular” และใช้ “roads and footpaths are” ให้สอดคล้องกับประธานพหูพจน์ นอกจากนี้ “convenience” เป็นคำนาม ควรใช้คำคุณศัพท์ “convenient” หรือ “safe.” เพื่อเพิ่มรายละเอียด ให้ยกตัวอย่างปัญหาบนถนน เช่น พื้นผิวขรุขระหรือไม่มีเลนจักรยาน แล้วสรุปผลที่เกิดขึ้น

Example: Bikes aren’t very popular in my country because many roads and footpaths are in poor condition. In some areas, there are no dedicated bike lanes, so cycling can feel unsafe and inconvenient.

Grammar

5: Past tense issue

× Yes I do. It was a four wheels uh, bicycle 'cause I can't ride 2 wheels bicycle, but now I have two wheels bicycle.

✓ Yes, I did. It was a four-wheeled bicycle because I couldn't ride a two-wheeled bicycle, but now I have a two-wheeled bicycle.

The question asks about a past experience, so use the past-tense form did instead of do. Since the speaker could not ride a two-wheeled bicycle at that time, use couldn't instead of can't.

1: Singular and plural issue

× Yes I do. It was a four wheels uh, bicycle 'cause I can't ride 2 wheels bicycle, but now I have two wheels bicycle.

✓ Yes, I did. It was a four-wheeled bicycle because I couldn't ride a two-wheeled bicycle, but now I have a two-wheeled bicycle.

When a number-and-noun combination is used as a compound adjective before another noun, use the singular noun form and usually add -ed: four-wheeled bicycle and two-wheeled bicycle.

22: Article errors

× Yes I do. It was a four wheels uh, bicycle 'cause I can't ride 2 wheels bicycle, but now I have two wheels bicycle.

✓ Yes, I did. It was a four-wheeled bicycle because I couldn't ride a two-wheeled bicycle, but now I have a two-wheeled bicycle.

Bicycle is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a before two-wheeled bicycle. The first noun phrase already has a before bicycle.

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Not that much of popular because the road and the footpath is kinda bad. It's not convenience to ride on it.

✓ Not that popular because the road and the footpath is kinda bad. It's not convenient to ride on it.

Popular and convenient are adjectives. In this context, say not that popular, without much of, and use the adjective convenient rather than the noun convenience after is.

27: Subject-verb agreement errors

× Not that much of popular because the road and the footpath is kinda bad. It's not convenience to ride on it.

✓ Not that much of popular because the road and the footpath are kinda bad. It's not convenience to ride on it.

The subject the road and the footpath contains two items, so it is plural. Use are instead of is to agree with this compound subject.

12: Incorrect use of pronouns

× Not that much of popular because the road and the footpath is kinda bad. It's not convenience to ride on it.

✓ Not that much of popular because the road and the footpath is kinda bad. It's not convenience to ride on them.

The pronoun refers to the road and the footpath, which are two things. Use the plural pronoun them rather than it.
