Pontuação: 45.0Sugestão: Говоря по-русски: вам нужно улучшить грамматику, словоупотребление и ясность ответа. Фразы «didn't write it» и «wrote it quite more often» неверны по смыслу — вероятно, вы хотели сказать «ride». Также предложение содержит лишнюю информацию и не очень естественную структуру (повтор «actually», «however»). Дайте короткое прямое вступление (topic sentence), затем 1–2 конкретные детали: кто чаще её использовал и почему. Используйте связки (for example, because, so) и простые правильные времена (past simple).
Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small bicycle when I was about seven, but I didn't ride it very often because I was busy with chores and studying. For example, my sister used it more than I did, so she knew the neighbourhood better.

Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Говоря по-русски: улучшите связность и точность высказывания, избавьтесь от повторов («It hasn't always been» дважды). Лучше дать чёткий тезис и затем 1–2 конкретные причины или примера. Используйте более подходящие фразы: «in the past», «nowadays», «more people are choosing» и избегайте разговорных сокращений («yeah»). Также избегайте двусмысственности «they're getting used to bikes» — лучше «more people are using bikes».
Exemplo: Not originally, but now they are becoming more popular. In the past people preferred cars or scooters, but in recent years more people choose bicycles because of traffic and environmental concerns. For instance, many cities have added bike lanes and rental schemes, so cycling is easier than before.
× Actually, I did. However, I didn't write it quite often because I always was busy with my home chores and studying.
✓ Actually, I did. However, I didn't ride it very often because I was always busy with my household chores and studying.
The student used 'write' instead of the correct verb 'ride' for using a bike (lexical error related to verb choice) and word order with 'always was' is unnatural in English; correct past simple order is 'I was always'. Also 'quite often' collocated with 'very often' is more natural; 'household chores' is correct collocation. Suggestion: use the verb 'ride' for bicycles and place 'always' before the main verb in past simple: 'I was always busy'.
× Therefore, I guess that my sister wrote it quite more often than me.
✓ Therefore, I guess that my sister rode it much more often than I did.
The verb 'wrote' is incorrect for using a bike; use 'rode'. 'Quite more often' is ungrammatical; use 'much more often'. Also the object pronoun after comparison should be 'I did' (subject + auxiliary) rather than 'me'. Suggestion: use 'much more often' and complete the comparison with 'I did'.
× It hasn't always been.
✓ It hasn't always been that way.
The sentence 'It hasn't always been' is incomplete and sounds informal; add 'that way' to specify what 'it' refers to. Grammar is present perfect negative which is acceptable but needs the complement. Suggestion: use 'It hasn't always been that way.'
× However now I think yeah, they are.
✓ However, now I think they are.
Include proper punctuation and remove filler 'yeah' for formal responses. The present simple 'they are' is fine for stating current popularity. Suggestion: say 'However, now I think they are.' or 'However, I think they are now.'
× In the past, people used to drive cars more or even use some things like scooters.
✓ In the past, people used to drive cars more or even use things like scooters.
The phrase 'use some things like scooters' contains an unnecessary 'some'. 'Use things like scooters' is natural. The past habitual 'used to' is correctly used. Suggestion: remove 'some'.
× However, nowadays they're getting used to bikes more and more.
✓ However, nowadays people are getting more used to bikes.
The passive-like 'they're getting used to bikes' is understandable but awkward because 'get used to' typically takes a noun and a clearer subject; 'people are getting more used to bikes' is clearer. Word order 'more and more' can be replaced with 'more' or 'more and more' at end; 'more used to' is natural. Suggestion: say 'people are getting more used to bikes'.
