수험생
I don't think bikes are popular in my country because the road is not really wide to ride a bicycle and also there's not proper bicycle road near my house. So that's the reason.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
점수: 55.0제안: Answer directly, then add a brief reason or relevant detail. The second sentence repeats the first idea, so explain why you did not ride or mention another way you got around.
예시: No, I didn’t. My family didn’t buy me a bike because I wasn’t particularly interested in cycling, so I usually walked or took the bus with my parents.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
점수: 62.0제안: Give your opinion clearly and support it with a specific reason. Use natural expressions such as “the roads are too narrow” and “there aren’t proper bike lanes.” Avoid adding “So that’s the reason” after you have already explained your reason.
예시: I don’t think cycling is very popular in my area. The roads are quite narrow, and there aren’t many bike lanes, so cycling can feel unsafe. As a result, most people prefer to travel by car or bus.

✓ I don't think bikes are popular in my country because the road isn't wide enough to ride a bicycle on, and there's no proper bicycle road near my house. So that's the reason.
The phrase not really wide to ride a bicycle is not a natural grammatical construction for expressing insufficient width. Use wide enough, and place the preposition on after bicycle because the bicycle is ridden on the road. The correction also makes the negative construction before proper grammatical; the missing article is addressed separately below.
× there's not proper bicycle road near my house
✓ there isn't a proper bicycle road near my house
A singular countable noun such as road needs an article. Use a before proper bicycle road. In this negative sentence, there isn't a is the natural construction.
