Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 5.0Sugestão: Answer the question directly instead of repeating it. Say whether you had a bike, then add one or two specific details, such as when you rode it or what you enjoyed about it.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was about eight, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 48.0Sugestão: Your answer gives a relevant reason, but it ends abruptly and has several grammar issues. Use “bikes” or “cycling” naturally, say “ride bikes,” and use “transport options” instead of “transportation system” here. Finish with a specific example, and keep the response to no more than five sentences.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in busy cities. Many people ride them because traffic can be heavy and cycling is often quicker for short journeys. They are also cheaper to maintain than cars. For example, I often see people cycling to work or to nearby shops.
