Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 72.0Sugestão: Your answer is clear and relevant but a bit long and has minor grammar and cohesion issues. Aim for a concise topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting details. Correct tense and article usage (e.g., “I had to prepare for college” and “get around campus”). Use one linking phrase to connect ideas.
Exemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child. I only learned to ride after high school because I had to prepare for college, and cycling was the most convenient way to get around campus.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: Good direct answer with relevant supporting detail. Improve by using more precise vocabulary and a linking word to show consequence or reason. Avoid redundancy (e.g., “their own ones” → “their own”). Add a brief example or statistic if possible to make it more specific.

× Not really, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, only started to learn riding after I graduated from high school because I have to prepare for my college and it's the most convenient way to hang around to campus.
✓ Not really, I didn't have a bike when I was a child; I only started to learn to ride after I graduated from high school because I had to prepare for college and it was the most convenient way to get around campus.
Errors: mixed tenses and incorrect verb forms. 'only started to learn riding' should be 'only started to learn to ride' (infinitive after 'start' and correct verb 'ride' not 'riding'). 'because I have to prepare for my college' uses present tense 'have' which conflicts with past context; change to past 'had to prepare for college'. 'it's the most convenient way to hang around to campus' has wrong verb phrase and preposition: use 'it was the most convenient way to get around campus'. Suggestion: keep past tense consistent when describing past events, use 'start to + verb' or 'start + -ing' with correct form, and use correct phrasal verbs like 'get around' for moving around a place.
× Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many companies provide bike sharing service and it's convenient for people to use them without having to buy their own ones.
✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many companies provide a bike-sharing service, and it's convenient for people to use them without having to buy their own.
Errors: article and noun-form issues. 'bike sharing service' needs an article and a hyphenated compound: 'a bike-sharing service'. 'their own ones' is redundant and unidiomatic; use 'their own'. Suggestion: use articles before singular countable nouns and avoid redundant words like 'ones' after 'their own'.
