Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
I don't think so. We usually use a car as its transportation and public transportation like BTS, MRT and Airport Link. Uh, normally people don't ride a bike on a bicycle on the road because this is too dangerous.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: Your answer is clear and relevant, but you can improve by using a stronger topic sentence, adding one or two specific details (e.g., how you used the bike or a memory), and linking them concisely. Keep responses to a maximum of about 3–4 short sentences to sound natural. Avoid unnecessary brand mentions unless they add meaning.
Exemplo: Yes, I did — my parents bought me a pink Seiko bike for my sixth birthday. I rode it every afternoon around our neighborhood and practiced balancing without training wheels. I remember feeling very proud when I finally managed to ride all the way to the park by myself.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Your response addresses the question but has repetition and minor grammar issues. Improve coherence by starting with a clear opinion, then give two concise reasons with linking words. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., "public transport" instead of "public transportation") and correct small errors ("ride a bike on the road" rather than "ride a bike on a bicycle on the road"). Avoid filler words like "uh."
Exemplo: No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country. Most people prefer cars or public transport such as the BTS and MRT, so cycling is uncommon. Also, many roads lack safe bike lanes, which makes riding on the road feel too dangerous for most people.
× My parents bought it for my 6th birthday.
✓ My parents bought it for my sixth birthday.
Use of numerals in formal writing is acceptable but in spoken or formal sentences writing numbers as words is preferred; this is not a grammatical error but style improvement. No tense change needed as past tense 'bought' correctly matches 'when I was a child'. Suggestion: write 'sixth' instead of '6th' for a more natural sentence.
× We usually use a car as its transportation and public transportation like BTS, MRT and Airport Link.
✓ We usually use cars and public transportation like the BTS, MRT, and the Airport Rail Link.
Pronoun 'its' is incorrectly referring to 'country' but is unnecessary and causes confusion. Also 'a car' suggests one car; 'cars' is better for generalization. Include definite articles before specific transport system names and correct name 'Airport Link' to 'Airport Rail Link'. Suggestion: use plural 'cars' for general statements and include 'the' before named transit systems.
× Uh, normally people don't ride a bike on a bicycle on the road because this is too dangerous.
✓ Normally, people don't ride bicycles on the road because it is too dangerous.
Redundant phrase 'ride a bike on a bicycle' is incorrect and repetitive. Use 'bicycles' or 'ride a bike' (not both). Also 'this is too dangerous' should be 'it is too dangerous' referring to riding on the road. Remove filler 'Uh' in formal response. Suggestion: choose one form ('ride bicycles' or 'ride a bike') and use 'it' to refer to the situation; place comma after 'Normally' for clarity.
