Conversation

Part 1

Examiner

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Candidate

No, it didn't put my childhood best friend had and she often let me use it and taught me how to write it.

Examiner

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Candidate

Yes, but it's not that popular like in China or some European countries. I think for my country it's not that comfortable to use it like transport for every day because we don't have special rods for it. So it's more popular like kind of sport.

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 30.0

Suggestion: Ответьте прямо и исправьте ключевые ошибки: вместо “it didn't put” скажите “I didn’t have one, but…”; используйте “ride a bike”, а не “write a bike”. Добавьте конкретную деталь о том, где или как подруга учила вас кататься. Свяжите мысли с помощью “but” или “so”.

Example: I didn’t have a bike of my own, but my best friend had one. She often let me borrow it and taught me how to ride. We used to practise in the park near our homes.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Сформулируйте сравнение естественно: “not as popular as”. Для повседневного транспорта используйте “for daily commuting”, а “специальные дороги” замените на “dedicated bike lanes”. Исправьте “rods” на “roads” и не повторяйте “like”; в заключении скажите “more popular as a form of exercise”. Поддержите ответ одним конкретным объяснением.

Example: Yes, bikes are fairly popular, but they’re not as widely used as they are in China or some European countries. In my country, many people don’t use them for daily commuting because there aren’t enough dedicated bike lanes. They’re more commonly used for exercise or leisure.

Grammar

Sentence structure errors

× No, it didn't put my childhood best friend had and she often let me use it and taught me how to write it.

✓ No, but my childhood best friend had one, and she often let me use it and taught me how to write it.

The opening clause, 'it didn't put', does not form a clear grammatical connection to the rest of the sentence. Use 'but' to contrast the answer with the fact that your friend had a bike, and use 'one' to refer back to 'a bike'.

Comparative and superlative errors

× Yes, but it's not that popular like in China or some European countries.

✓ Yes, but it's not as popular as it is in China or some European countries.

For a comparison of equality or similarity, use the pattern 'as + adjective + as', not 'adjective + like'. Here, 'not as popular as' is the correct comparative structure.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I think for my country it's not that comfortable to use it like transport for every day because we don't have special rods for it.

✓ I think in my country it's not that comfortable to use it as transport every day because we don't have special rods for it.

Use 'in my country' to describe where something is true. Use 'as transport' to describe the function of the bike, and do not use 'for' before 'every day' when you mean 'daily'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× So it's more popular like kind of sport.

✓ So it's more popular as a kind of sport.

Use 'as' to describe the role or category of something; 'like' is not appropriate in this construction. The corrected phrase is 'as a kind of sport'.

Article errors

× So it's more popular like kind of sport.

✓ So it's more popular as a kind of sport.

The singular countable noun 'kind' needs an article. Use 'a kind of sport', not 'kind of sport'.
