Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Well, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities and among students, because they are cheap and easy to use for short trips. For example, many students ride to college and delivery workers use bikes or eBikes so you still see them allowed on the streets.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: Answer directly and add a specific detail, as you have done. Correct the tense shift: use “practised” because you are describing a childhood habit. Also, “practised riding” is more natural than “practised this.” Split the long sentence or connect its ideas more smoothly.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a small red bike when I was a child. It had training wheels at first, and I practised riding it around my street with my friends on weekends. Eventually, I learned to ride without help.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 69.0Sugestão: Your answer gives a clear opinion and relevant examples. Improve the final clause: “you still see them allowed on the streets” is unnatural and unclear. Say that bikes are commonly seen on the roads, and use a linking word such as “also” before adding the example about delivery workers. You could also say “e-bikes.”
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities, because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. For example, many students cycle to college, and delivery workers often use bikes or e-bikes. As a result, you see them on the roads every day.

✓ It had training wheels at first, and I used it to ride around my street with friends. I practiced riding it on weekends until I could ride it without help.
The answer describes childhood events in the past, so practice should be in the past tense: practiced. Using practiced riding it also makes clear that the student means they practiced riding the bike.
