Part 1
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Your answer is clear and grammatically correct, but it repeats the question and gives no supporting detail. Add a brief reason or explain how you got around as a child.
Example: No, I didn’t. My family lived in a busy area, so I usually walked or took the bus instead.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Answer directly, and use “very popular” rather than “very much popular.” Add a specific example or reason to support your opinion.
Example: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country, especially in cities. Many people use them for short trips because they’re affordable and easy to park.
Grammar
× Yes, I think bikes are very much popular in my country.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country.
Very much does not normally modify the adjective popular. Use very before an adjective to intensify it, as in very popular.
