Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Your answer responds directly, but the second sentence repeats the first without adding information. Give a brief reason or detail to make your response more natural and informative.
Example: No, I didn't have a bike as a child. My family didn't think I needed one because I could walk to school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: State your opinion directly without “As of course.” Correct “every game” to “everyone,” and use the natural phrase “all over the country.” Add a specific reason or example to support your answer.
Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. You can see people riding them all over the country, especially in cities where cycling is a convenient way to get around.
× As of course the bikes are popular in my country.
✓ Of course, bikes are popular in my country.
As is unnecessary and incorrectly placed before of course. Use Of course as a standalone introductory phrase, followed by a comma.
× As of course the bikes are popular in my country.
✓ Of course, bikes are popular in my country.
The sentence refers to bikes in general, so the definite article the is not needed. Use the plural noun bikes without an article for a general statement.
