Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Candidato
Actually, no. Uh, we live in a flat. Because of that, there is no additional space to put my bike. And when I was a child I didn't have any bike because of that, because of this reason.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
In my opinion, in my country it's not commonly to ride bikes because people prefer public transport or their private cars. Uh, rather bikes.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Говорите короче и точнее, избегайте повторов и заполнителей (например, "uh", "because of that" несколько раз). Начните с прямого ответа (Yes/No) и добавьте одно-два предложения с конкретной причиной или короткой деталью. Также используйте связующие слова экономно (например, "so" или "because") и проследите за грамматикой (например, "we lived in a flat" или "there was no space").
Exemplo: No, I didn't. I grew up in a small flat, so there wasn't anywhere to store a bike. As a result, I mostly walked or used public transport as a child.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Сформулируйте предложение более естественно и избегайте ненужных слов. Дайте одно ясное утверждение, затем добавьте одну или две конкретные причины с примером. Избегайте неправильного порядка слов (например, вместо "it's not commonly to ride bikes" скажите "cycling is not common").
Exemplo: I don't think cycling is very popular in my country. Most people prefer private cars or public transport because cities are busy and lack safe bike lanes, so many find biking inconvenient.
× Actually, no. Uh, we live in a flat.
✓ Actually, no. Uh, we lived in a flat.
The question asks about the past (when you were a child), so the verb should be in the past tense. Use 'lived' to match the time frame. Suggestion: Pay attention to time expressions (when you were a child) and use past tense verbs accordingly.
× Because of that, there is no additional space to put my bike.
✓ Because of that, there was no additional space to put my bike.
The speaker refers to a past situation, so 'there is' (present) is incorrect. Use past form 'there was'. Also consider 'to keep my bike' or 'to store my bike' for natural phrasing.
× And when I was a child I didn't have any bike because of that, because of this reason.
✓ And when I was a child I didn't have a bike because of that.
In English, 'any bike' is unnatural in negative statements; use 'a bike'. The phrase 'because of this reason' is redundant after 'because of that'. Simplify to avoid repetition. Suggestion: Use 'I didn't have a bike because of that.'
× In my opinion, in my country it's not commonly to ride bikes because people prefer public transport or their private cars.
✓ In my opinion, in my country it is not common to ride bikes because people prefer public transport or their private cars.
The structure 'not commonly to' is incorrect; use the adjective 'common' with 'to' infinitive ('it is not common to'). 'Commonly' is an adverb and does not fit here. Also avoid contraction 'it's' in formal speech if desired. Suggestion: Use 'it is not common to ride bikes.'
× Uh, rather bikes.
✓ Instead, they prefer cars or public transport rather than bikes.
The fragment 'rather bikes' is incomplete and unclear. Rephrase to a full clause expressing the contrast: 'they prefer cars or public transport rather than bikes.' Suggestion: Always use complete clauses to make comparisons clear.
