Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Answer the question directly and use a clearer sentence structure. The phrase “made me a flight of bicycle” is incorrect; you could say “made me afraid of bicycles” or “put me off riding bicycles.” Also, use linking words such as “because” and “after that” to connect the experience logically. Keep the answer to two or three concise sentences and explain how the accident affected you.
Exemplo: No, I didn’t have a bicycle when I was a child. Once, when I was riding one with my mother, my leg got caught in the wheel and I got a painful burn. After that, I became afraid of riding bicycles.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 30.0Sugestão: Give a clear answer first, such as “Yes, they are fairly popular, but it depends on the city.” The current response is incomplete and contains unclear words, so the examiner cannot understand your meaning. Add a specific comparison between cities and give a reason, such as traffic, bike lanes, or public transport. Use linking words like “however” and “because” to make the answer coherent.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, although it depends on the city. In smaller cities such as Neighborford, many people cycle because the roads are less crowded and the distances are shorter. However, in large cities, people often prefer public transport because of heavy traffic.
× I didn't have a bicycle because when I was riding one with my mother my leg got caught in the wheel and suffered a burn which made me a flight of bicycle.
✓ I didn't have a bicycle because, when I was riding one with my mother, my leg got caught in the wheel and suffered a burn, which made me afraid of bicycles.
The phrase a flight of bicycle is not grammatically valid and cannot function as the complement of made me. Use the adjective phrase made me afraid of bicycles instead. The commas also clearly separate the introductory time clause and the relative clause.
× I didn't have a bicycle because when I was riding one with my mother my leg got caught in the wheel and suffered a burn which made me a flight of bicycle.
✓ I didn't have a bicycle because, when I was riding one with my mother, my leg got caught in the wheel and suffered a burn, which made me afraid of bicycles.
When referring to bicycles in general, use the plural form bicycles rather than the singular form bicycle after of. Use a singular form only when referring to one specific bicycle, such as a bicycle.
× It depends on the city in case of my Neighborford it's Lu Rog so
✓ It depends on the city. In the case of my city, Neighborford, it is Lu Rog.

× It depends on the city in case of my Neighborford it's Lu Rog so
✓ It depends on the city. In the case of my city, Neighborford, it is Lu Rog.
