Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give one clear reason. Avoid repeating the same cause with “because” and “because of that.” Correct the verb form: use “ridden” after “have,” or use the simple past “rode.” “When I was a child” is more natural than “in my childhood” here.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because my parents thought it was unsafe. As a result, I never learned to ride one.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and support it with a clear reason. Replace “practically for short journeys” with “practical for short journeys,” and use “much easier,” not “much more easier.” The final clause is difficult to follow; use a linking phrase such as “so” and say “people choose to ride a bike rather than drive a car.”

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially for short journeys. They’re practical and much easier to park than cars, so many people choose to ride a bike instead of driving.

Grammar

5: Past tense issue

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents considered it unsafe, and because of that, I have not ride any bike in my childhood.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents considered it unsafe, and because of that, I didn't ride any bikes during my childhood.

The sentence refers to a completed period in the past, so use the simple past tense, 'didn't ride,' rather than the present perfect construction 'have not ride.' After 'didn't,' use the base form of the verb. Use 'during my childhood' to refer naturally to that past period.

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Yes, bicycles are really very popular in my country because they are practically for short journeys and much more easier to park than cars, for many people consider using bike rather than going in car.

✓ Yes, bicycles are really very popular in my country because they are practical for short journeys and much easier to park than cars, as many people consider using a bike rather than going by car.

'Practically' is an adverb, but this sentence needs the adjective 'practical' to describe bicycles.

25: Comparative and superlative errors

× Yes, bicycles are really very popular in my country because they are practically for short journeys and much more easier to park than cars, for many people consider using bike rather than going in car.

✓ Yes, bicycles are really very popular in my country because they are practical for short journeys and much easier to park than cars, as many people consider using a bike rather than going by car.

'Easier' is already the comparative form of 'easy,' so do not add 'more.' Say 'much easier,' not 'much more easier.'

22: Article errors

× Yes, bicycles are really very popular in my country because they are practically for short journeys and much more easier to park than cars, for many people consider using bike rather than going in car.

✓ Yes, bicycles are really very popular in my country because they are practical for short journeys and much easier to park than cars, as many people consider using a bike rather than going by car.

'Bike' is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article in this context: 'a bike.' The corrected sentence uses 'a bike'.

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, bicycles are really very popular in my country because they are practically for short journeys and much more easier to park than cars, for many people consider using bike rather than going in car.

✓ Yes, bicycles are really very popular in my country because they are practical for short journeys and much easier to park than cars, as many people consider using a bike rather than going by car.

Use 'by car' to describe the means of transportation. 'Going in a car' is possible when referring to being inside a particular car, but 'going by car' is the natural expression for traveling by that mode of transport.
