Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Candidate

Yes, at first I had a pink bicycle with training wheels that I only rode inside of the yard because I wasn't allowed outside, and later after we moved to a safer area, I removed the training rooms and rode my bike all around the village.

Examiner

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Candidate

Yes, I can say that bikes are still popular in my country, considering that people nowadays engaged in athletic activities and some of them would ride their bikes all around the place, maybe in the mountains, the streets.

Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 74.0

Suggestion: You give a clear answer and include a useful sequence of details. Correct “training rooms” to “training wheels,” and use the more natural phrase “in the yard.” The sentence is quite long, so split it into two sentences to make the timeline easier to follow.

Example: Yes, I had a pink bicycle with training wheels when I was little. I could only ride it in our yard because I wasn’t allowed to go outside. Later, after we moved to a safer area, I took the training wheels off and rode around the village.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 63.0

Suggestion: Answer the question directly, then support your opinion with a specific example. Correct the grammar in “people nowadays engaged” to “people nowadays are engaging” or “people nowadays take part.” Replace vague phrases such as “all around the place” with specific locations, and use a clearer link between your opinion and reason.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are still quite popular in my country, especially among people who enjoy exercising outdoors. For example, at weekends, some cyclists ride along city streets or take longer routes through the mountains.

Grammar

6: Present tense issue

× Yes, I can say that bikes are still popular in my country, considering that people nowadays engaged in athletic activities and some of them would ride their bikes all around the place, maybe in the mountains, the streets.

✓ Yes, I can say that bikes are still popular in my country, considering that people nowadays are engaged in athletic activities and some of them would ride their bikes all around the place, maybe in the mountains or on the streets.

The clause people nowadays engaged in athletic activities is missing the present-tense verb are. Engaged is a participle here, so it needs the auxiliary are to form the present-tense expression are engaged. Also, use or to connect the alternative locations, and on the streets is the appropriate preposition for riding a bike.
