Part 1
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: Use the simple past to talk about your childhood, and answer directly. “I own the bike before” is not natural; say “I had a bike.” You could add one specific detail, such as how often you rode it or where you used it.
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Give a clear answer first, then explain it with a specific reason. The response is unfinished, and “the roads are interconnected” does not clearly explain why cycling is difficult. You could mention busy traffic or a lack of bike lanes, and use a linking phrase such as “because of this.”
Example: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country, especially in large cities. The roads are often busy, and there aren’t many separate bike lanes. Because of this, many people find it safer and more convenient to travel by car.
Grammar
× I own the bike before when I was a child.
✓ I owned a bike when I was a child.
The question asks about a past experience, so use the past-tense verb owned rather than the present-tense own. The word before is unnecessary because when already introduces the time period. Use a bike unless you are referring to a specific bike already mentioned.
