Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Answer directly, then describe the bike using natural grammar. Say “a three-wheeled bike” and “pink” or “pink in colour.” Add one specific detail, such as where you rode it or how you felt about it.
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small, pink, three-wheeled bike, so it was easy to ride. I used to ride it around the park near my house.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Make your answer clear and grammatically complete: use “bicycles” or “cycling” consistently, and say “they are more convenient” rather than “it more con.” Give a specific reason for the decline, and use a linking word such as “because” or “as a result.”
Example: Bicycles used to be very popular in my country, but I think their use has declined in recent years. Many people now prefer motorcycles or cars because they are faster and more convenient for commuting. However, bicycles are still common in parks and among people who enjoy exercising.
× It was three wheel bike with pink.
✓ It was a three-wheeled bike, and it was pink.
A singular countable noun such as bike needs an article, so use a before bike. Three-wheeled is the appropriate compound adjective, and saying it was pink clearly describes the bike's color.
× Many people have stopped using them and prefer motorcycles and cars because it more con.
✓ Many people have stopped using them and prefer motorcycles and cars because they are more convenient.
The clause after because is missing the verb are. Use they to refer to motorcycles and cars, and complete the adjective as convenient. Check that every clause includes a subject and a verb.
