Did you have a bike when you were a child?
점수: 68.0제안: Your answer directly addresses the question and gives a reason, which is good. To improve, make the language more natural by removing fillers (“umm”), correct tense/person agreement (“I came” or “my family couldn’t afford one”), and keep it concise (max 3–4 sentences). Add a brief specific detail (e.g. whether you borrowed one sometimes or how you got around) and use a linking word for fluency.
예시: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn't afford one. As a result, I usually walked to school or took public transport, and sometimes I borrowed a friend's bike at weekends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
점수: 72.0제안: You answer the question and give two reasons, which is good. To improve, avoid repetition (you said affordable twice), use correct phrasing (e.g. “more affordable than other vehicles”), and add a linking phrase to connect points (e.g. “in addition” or “furthermore”). Also include a concrete example or statistic to make it specific.
예시: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are much more affordable than cars. In addition, they are easy to park and navigate through busy streets, so many commuters choose them for short trips or daily travel.
× Umm, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I come from a very humble background and it was very tough to manage, umm, other household expenses.
✓ Umm, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I came from a very humble background and it was very tough to manage, umm, other household expenses.
The sentence mixes past and present tense: 'didn't have' (past) but 'I come' (present). Use the past tense 'came' to maintain consistent past narration. Suggestion: keep all time references in past when recounting childhood events.
× So I didn't have a bike actually.
✓ So I didn't have a bike, actually.
This sentence is mainly fine grammatically; the correction adds a comma for natural pause and clarity. There is no article error in content; comma improves flow. Suggestion: add brief pause punctuation when speaking to reflect natural speech.
× Yes, I believe bikes are popular in my country because of a few reasons.
✓ Yes, I believe bikes are popular in my country for a few reasons.
The phrase 'because of a few reasons' is awkward; 'for a few reasons' is more idiomatic and concise. Suggestion: prefer 'for' with 'a few reasons' to improve naturalness.
× Firstly, they are affordable to purchase rather than any other vehicles.
✓ Firstly, they are more affordable to purchase than other vehicles.
Use 'more ... than' for comparisons and omit 'any' before 'other vehicles'. Also place 'more' before 'affordable' to form correct comparative structure. Suggestion: use 'more affordable than' when comparing costs.
× Secondly, there is easy facilities for parking in comparison with cars and they are affordable to buy as well.
✓ Secondly, there are easy parking facilities compared with cars, and they are affordable to buy as well.
'There is' is singular but 'facilities' is plural; use 'there are'. 'Easy facilities for parking' is awkward; 'easy parking facilities' is natural. Use 'compared with' instead of 'in comparison with' for brevity. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement and prefer natural noun order (adjective + noun).
