Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Your answer is correct but too short and lacks development. To score higher, start with a clear topic sentence and then add 1–2 specific supporting details (e.g., what kind of bike, how often you rode it, who taught you). Use a linking phrase to connect ideas. Keep it natural and no more than 4–5 short sentences.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought for my seventh birthday. I used to ride it around the neighborhood almost every afternoon, and my older brother taught me how to balance and pedal. It was my main way of getting around until I started middle school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Good basic answer, but expand with specific reasons and examples and use linking words for coherence. Mention who uses bikes (students, commuters), where they are used (cities, parks), and a brief comparison or result. Keep to 3–4 sentences and use varied vocabulary (e.g., practical, economical, environmentally friendly).
Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because they are practical and inexpensive. For example, many students and office workers cycle to school or work to avoid traffic and save money. In addition, bike lanes in cities have encouraged more people to choose cycling over driving, which also reduces pollution.

The plural noun 'bikes' requires the plural pronoun 'them', not the singular 'it'. Also, 'it's' (it is) should match plural subject 'bikes', so use 'they're' (they are). Suggestion: make pronouns agree in number with their antecedent: plural nouns take plural pronouns.'
