Puntuación: 35.0Sugerencia: Answer directly in the past tense: use “I had” and “when I was two.” Avoid unclear or incorrect phrases such as “my president gave me” and “ride to eat.” You may have meant “my parents gave me” and “ride to school.” Keep the answer to two or three complete sentences and add one clear detail about how often you used the bike or how you felt about it.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents gave it to me for my tenth birthday, and I used to ride it to school every day. It was quite large, but I really enjoyed riding it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: State your answer once and use the plural form “bicycles” or “bikes.” Replace “more confident” with “more convenient” or “more practical,” and avoid repeating “commuting.” Link your reason clearly with “because,” and add a specific explanation, such as the longer distances people travel or the lack of safe cycling lanes.
Ejemplo: No, bikes are not very popular in my country. Most people prefer motorbikes or cars because they are faster and more convenient for commuting, especially over long distances. In addition, many roads do not have safe cycling lanes.

✓ It was a big bike that my president gave me for my tenth birthday, and I used to ride it to school every day.

Use the plural form motorbikes because you are referring to motorbikes in general, just as you use cars. The word commuting is repeated unnecessarily, so it should appear only once.
