Well, I did have a bike when I was a child. I actually had four wheels because I used to suck at riding bikes, umm, couldn't maintain balance. But now I can like really cycle pretty well.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
I wouldn't say that Tunisia is really popular for cycling because we don't have lanes designated for bikes, so people tend to just walk or take public transportation. Unlike cities like Amsterdam or Moscow, they really have special routes for bikes, so people tend to.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: Be more concise, avoid informal fillers and slang, and organize into a clear topic sentence plus one or two supporting details. Replace fillers (umm, like) and slang (suck at) with natural alternatives. Maintain sentence count under five and use a linking word to connect past difficulty with present ability.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. At first it had training wheels because I had trouble keeping my balance, but after practice I learned to ride confidently.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 74.0Sugestão: Provide a clear direct opinion sentence, avoid trailing off, and give one or two specific supporting reasons or a brief comparison using linking words. Use precise vocabulary (designated bike lanes, public transport) and finish your thought fully.
Exemplo: I don't think bikes are very popular in Tunisia because there are few designated bike lanes and cycling infrastructure. In contrast, cities like Amsterdam have extensive bike routes, which makes cycling a safe and convenient option.
× But now I can like really cycle pretty well.
✓ But now I can really cycle pretty well.
The filler word 'like' is informal and unnecessary; grammatically it is not a verb+ -ing error but its removal improves formality and clarity. Suggest removing 'like' when aiming for correct, formal spoken English.
× I actually had four wheels because I used to suck at riding bikes, umm, couldn't maintain balance.
✓ I actually had training wheels because I used to be bad at riding bikes and couldn't maintain my balance.
'Had four wheels' is informal and unclear; 'training wheels' is the correct term. 'Suck at' is informal and nonstandard for formal correction; use 'be bad at'. The clause 'umm, couldn't maintain balance' lacks an explicit subject; add 'I' and possessive 'my' for clarity. Combine with 'and' to connect causes.
× I wouldn't say that Tunisia is really popular for cycling because we don't have lanes designated for bikes, so people tend to just walk or take public transportation.
✓ I wouldn't say that cycling is very popular in Tunisia because we don't have lanes designated for bikes, so people tend to walk or take public transportation.
Prefer 'popular in [country]' or 'cycling is popular in [country]'; the original 'Tunisia is really popular for cycling' is awkward. Also 'tend to just walk' is colloquial; place adverb appropriately: 'tend to walk'. Reordering improves clarity and natural English.
× Unlike cities like Amsterdam or Moscow, they really have special routes for bikes, so people tend to.
✓ Unlike cities such as Amsterdam or Moscow, which have special bike routes, people there use them a lot.
The original sentence misuses 'unlike' with a pronoun 'they' and ends abruptly with 'so people tend to.' This is a sentence structure problem: unclear subject and incomplete clause. Rephrase to introduce the cities and complete the comparison, and avoid dangling 'tend to' by specifying the action ('use them a lot').
