Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 82.0Sugerencia: Your answer is clear and relevant with a topic sentence and supporting details. To improve, make the sentence structure more varied and natural by using linking words and more precise vocabulary. Also avoid minor grammar slips (e.g., pluralize “legs”) and keep answers concise (max 5 sentences). Add a brief personal example to make it more vivid.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike that I rode almost every day after school, which really strengthened my legs and gave me more energy. For example, I used to cycle to the park with my friends for an hour, and returning home always helped me relax and focus on homework.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 76.0Sugerencia: Good overall idea and relevant details, but the phrasing is repetitive and has grammatical errors (e.g., “riding track,” “that are parking in the school”). Improve coherence with linking words, use specific examples or brief statistics, and vary vocabulary. Break long sentences into two for clarity and correct noun/verb forms.
Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. For instance, you can often see crowded bike lanes during rush hour, and many students park their bikes outside schools. This trend is mainly because cycling is cheap and convenient for short journeys.
× Cycling strengthened my leg, boosted my energy and helped me relax after school.
✓ Cycling strengthened my legs, boosted my energy, and helped me relax after school.
The error is pluralization of a body part. 'leg' should be 'legs' because we normally refer to both legs when speaking about cycling strengthening them. Also add a comma before the final conjunction for clear coordination. Suggestion: use plural for body parts that are typically paired and keep parallel structure with commas.
× I think bikes are popular in my country because when you are walking on the roads you can see many people riding bikes on the riding track and there are always many bikes that are parking in the school because many students in my country often ride bikes to go to school.
✓ I think bikes are popular in my country because when you walk on the roads you can see many people riding bikes on bike lanes, and there are always many bikes parked at the school because many students often ride bikes to go to school.
Multiple preposition and word-choice issues: 'when you are walking on the roads' is better as 'when you walk on the roads' (simple present for general truths). 'riding track' is not typical; 'bike lanes' or 'cycling track' is preferred. 'that are parking in the school' is incorrect: vehicles are 'parked at' a place, not 'parking in'. Use 'parked at the school'. Also simplify 'in my country' repetition. Suggestions: use simple present for habitual statements, choose correct noun for bike path, and use correct prepositions 'parked at'.
