Examinador
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Candidato
Good job! - You answered the question directly and tried to explain why bikes are popular by mentioning commuting to work, study, and school. This gives a clear reason which is good for coherence and task response. - Your idea is relevant and you attempted to give examples (commuting, going to school), which follows the suggested structure. Improvement suggestions: - Grammar: avoid fragments and repeated words. For example, "my is very is it uh, very imp uh, popular" is unclear — likely meant "bikes are very popular." Use complete sentences: subject + verb + object. Remove filler sounds (uh, um). - Fluency & coherence: make sentences smoother and connect ideas with linking words (because, so, for example).
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: You answer directly and include relevant details about the bike, who gave it to you, and how you felt. However, the final sentence is grammatically unclear, and repeated fillers interrupt fluency. Use a complete sentence to explain who helped you learn, and connect your ideas smoothly. For example, say “My father taught me how to ride it” rather than “my mom that my dad…practice with me.”
Exemplo: Yes, I had a red bike when I was little. My father gave it to me for my birthday, and I was over the moon. He also spent time teaching me how to ride it, so I have fond memories of that bike.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 0.0Sugestão: The answer shown in the transcript does not respond to the question, so there is no relevant content to assess. Give a clear opinion first, then support it with a specific reason or example. You could mention that people use bikes to commute, travel to school, or avoid traffic. The feedback included after “Good job!” is not an answer to the examiner’s question.
Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. Many people use them to commute to work or school because they are affordable and convenient. They can also help people avoid traffic during busy hours.
× I was over the moon at that time and my mom that my dad, uh, practice with me, uh, to help me, uh, learn.
✓ I was over the moon at that time, and my mom asked my dad to practice with me to help me learn.
The phrase 'my mom that my dad' is missing a verb, so it does not form a complete clause. Use 'asked' to connect your mother to the request, and use 'asked someone to do something' before 'practice.'
