Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: You answer directly and add a relevant detail. Check the word “spike”: if you mean a bicycle, say “bike.” You could also briefly explain how you used it to make your answer more specific.

Example: Yes, definitely. My father bought me a bright red bike when I was in primary school, and I used to ride it around our neighborhood after class.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Your main idea is clear, but “convenient to a short distance place” is not natural English. Say that bikes are convenient for short trips, and add a specific reason or example to develop your answer.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they’re convenient for short trips. For example, people often cycle to nearby shops or commute to work, especially in busy cities.

Grammar

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, I think so, because people can cycle and it is convenient to a short distance place.

✓ Yes, I think so, because people can cycle, and bikes are convenient for short-distance trips.

The preposition to does not correctly express the purpose or suitability of bikes here. Use convenient for before a noun phrase describing an activity or purpose. Also, bikes is clearer than it because it identifies what is convenient.
