Candidato
Uh, to be honest, no, I didn't 'cause, uh, I was living in a city called Vladivostok and it's located on hills, Everything is just hilly. So riding a bike, uh, in such a landscape is definitely a challenge even for an adult and, uh, for a child, it's even dangerous.

Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Дайте прямой ответ и объясните причину более естественно и лаконично. Вместо разговорного и повторяющегося “uh” используйте связку “because”. Скажите “I lived in Vladivostok” вместо “I was living in a city called Vladivostok”; также избегайте соединения самостоятельных предложений только запятой. Можно уточнить, почему холмистая местность затрудняла езду на велосипеде.
Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because I grew up in Vladivostok, which is a very hilly city. The steep roads would have made cycling difficult, and I think it could have been unsafe for a young child.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Ответьте прямо, но используйте более естественные формулировки: например, “bikes are popular” или “cycling is common”. Вместо неясного “take it everywhere” объясните, для чего люди арендуют велосипеды. Уберите повтор “get to get to” и добавьте конкретную деталь о городских велопрокатах или поездках.
Ejemplo: Yes, cycling is quite popular in large cities such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Many people rent bikes by the hour, especially in warmer months, to travel short distances or explore the city. It’s a convenient alternative to public transport.

The phrase get to is repeated, which makes the sentence structure incorrect. Remove the repeated words. A useful proofreading tip is to listen for duplicated words, especially when speaking spontaneously.
