✓ Yes, I had a bike.
The examiner asked about having a bike when you were a child (past time). Using present simple 'have' is incorrect for past reference. Change to past simple 'had' to match the time frame. Suggestion: Use past tense when describing possessions or experiences in the past (e.g., 'I had a bike when I was small').
× my mother was able to buy one for me
✓ my mother was able to buy one for me
This sentence is grammatically acceptable, but 'was able to' is more formal. You can use past simple 'bought' for a more natural phrasing: 'my mother bought one for me.' Suggestion: Prefer 'bought' in casual speech to describe a completed past action.
× Bikes are popular in my country because it is commonly used when someone or when people wants to have fun after school.
✓ Bikes are popular in my country because they are commonly used when people want to have fun after school.
Multiple issues: 'it' is the wrong pronoun for plural 'bikes' (incorrect use of pronouns, ID 12) and must be 'they'. 'Wants' is incorrect with plural subject 'people' (subject-verb agreement / third person plural, IDs 27 and 2). Also 'someone or when people' is redundant and awkward; use 'people' alone. Ensure verb agreement: 'people want.' Suggestion: Use plural pronouns and verbs to match plural nouns (e.g., 'Bikes... they are... people want').
