Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Candidato
Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child, but The thing is I wasn't that much keen on riding it, so I used to do judo and I didn't have that much time to enjoy my bike. Yeah, that would be my answer. Do you have any other questions?

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Unfortunately, due to the harsh weather condition, the bikes are not that much popular because in winter the temperature might drop to -30°, but when it comes to summer, people rather take the bicycles than the bikes.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then briefly explain reason with one linking phrase. Avoid filler phrases and ending with a question back to the examiner. Use correct articles and smoother grammar (e.g., "I wasn't very keen on riding it").
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike as a child. However, I wasn’t very keen on riding it because I practised judo a lot, so I didn’t have much free time to use the bike.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Make the response clearer and more accurate: define which type of bike (motorbike vs bicycle) and use linking words to contrast seasons. Avoid repetitive phrasing and improve vocabulary (e.g., "not very popular", "extremely cold"). Provide a brief example or consequence to support your point.
Ejemplo: Not really — bicycles aren’t very popular year-round because winters are extremely cold, often below -30°C. However, in summer many people prefer cycling for short journeys and leisure, especially in parks and along bike paths.

The phrase 'that much' is awkward and incorrectly positioned. Use 'that keen' is possible in informal speech but more natural is 'wasn't keen' and 'didn't have much time' (omit 'that'). Also 'The' should be lowercase 'the' after a comma. Suggestion: remove 'that' before 'much' and lowercase 'the' after the comma; say 'wasn't keen' and 'didn't have much time'.

Multiple issues: 'weather condition' should be plural 'weather conditions'; 'the bikes are not that much popular' is ungrammatical—use 'not very popular' or 'not that popular'; use 'prefer A to B' rather than 'rather take A than B'; clarify 'bikes' vs 'bicycles'—I interpreted as 'motorbikes' vs 'bicycles' and changed to 'prefer bicycles to motorbikes'. Also use °C with correct symbol and no dash before number. Suggestion: pluralize 'conditions', use 'not very popular', and use 'prefer A to B' for comparisons. Grammar problem type ID:11 and 22.
