Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Improve grammar and clarity: use past tense consistently, correct verb forms, and avoid repetition. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details linked logically. For example, say when you got the bike, who gave it to you, how you practiced, and the current situation. Keep it within 2–4 sentences.
Exemplo: Yes. I had a bike when I was a child — my father bought it for me when I was seven, and I practiced riding it every day until I was confident. However, I don’t ride much now, so I’ve gotten a bit rusty.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 65.0Sugestão: Make the response more structured and specific: start with a clear opinion, then support it with a reason and an example using linking words (e.g., however, but, for example). Use precise vocabulary (e.g., 'not many people', 'popular in recreational areas'). Limit to 2–3 sentences and avoid vague phrases like 'or something.'
Exemplo: I don’t think cycling is very common in my city because most people prefer cars or public transport. However, bikes are popular in recreational areas — for example, many families ride along the lake at weekends.
× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The sentence mixes present tense 'have' with past time expression 'when I was a child'. Use past tense 'had' to match the past time reference. Suggestion: use past tense for actions or states that occurred in childhood.
× When I was seven years old, my dad bout me bout for me so I practiced all that but now I'm not good at it.
✓ When I was seven years old, my dad bought one for me, so I practiced a lot, but now I'm not good at it.
The verb 'bout' is a misspelling of the past tense/past participle 'bought'. Also 'bout for me' is incorrect phrase; use 'bought one for me'. 'All that' is vague; 'a lot' is more natural to indicate frequent practice. Ensure past tense consistency ('bought', 'practiced').
× Um I think in my city there are not a lot of people to ride a bike but when we go near the lake or something many people ride bikes with their families.
✓ Um, I think in my city there are not a lot of people who ride bikes, but when we go near the lake or somewhere similar, many people ride bikes with their families.
The phrase 'people to ride a bike' is ungrammatical; use a relative clause 'people who ride bikes' to describe people performing the action. Also 'something' is vague; 'somewhere similar' or 'the lakeside' is clearer. Use plural 'bikes' consistently when referring generally. Suggestion: use 'who' for people performing actions and prefer clear location phrases.
