Did you have a bike when you were a child?
考生
When I was a child, I didn't have a bike because my parents didn't buy me a bike that time. Umm, the condition of my house wasn't that good. So I used to ride a bike, uh, my neighborhood children and I used to play with them and I used to go on bike with them. So it wasn't my personal bike, however.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
In my opinion, bikes are not popular because most of people buy cars and I can't hardly see anyone on bikes. However children ride bikes and it is a fun activity for them.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分数: 72.0建议: Make your answer more concise and better structured: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid fillers (umm, uh) and repetitive phrases. Try to vary vocabulary (e.g., borrow, shared, family couldn’t afford) and reduce sentence count to 3–4 sentences for clarity.
示例: No, I didn't have my own bike as a child because my family couldn’t afford one. Instead, I often borrowed my neighbors’ bikes and rode them with local children, which was a common pastime in our area. Although it wasn’t mine, those rides were fun and helped me learn balance and confidence.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分数: 76.0建议: Provide a clearer opinion with specific reasons and use correct grammar (e.g., 'hardly see' not 'can't hardly see'). Add one or two concrete examples or contrasts and include a linking word for coherence. Keep it to 2–3 sentences for concision.
示例: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because many families prefer cars for convenience and status. However, cycling remains common among children and some commuters in smaller towns, especially where traffic is lighter and parking is expensive.
× When I was a child, I didn't have a bike because my parents didn't buy me a bike that time.
✓ When I was a child, I didn't have a bike because my parents didn't buy me one at that time.
Use of 'a bike' twice is repetitive and 'that time' is unnatural; 'at that time' is the correct prepositional phrase for past reference. Also replacing the second 'a bike' with the pronoun 'one' avoids repetition.
× Umm, the condition of my house wasn't that good.
✓ Umm, the condition of my house wasn't very good.
The phrase 'that good' is informal and can be unclear; 'very good' is a clearer adjective modifier here. This fixes awkward phrasing and improves naturalness.
× So I used to ride a bike, uh, my neighborhood children and I used to play with them and I used to go on bike with them.
✓ So I used to ride a bike with the children in my neighborhood; we used to play together and I used to go cycling with them.
Original sentence is run-on and has incorrect word order ('my neighborhood children and I'). Use 'the children in my neighborhood' and restructure into clear clauses. Use 'go cycling' or 'ride a bike' rather than 'go on bike.' Semicolons or separate sentences improve clarity.
× So it wasn't my personal bike, however.
✓ However, it wasn't my personal bike.
Placement of 'however' is awkward at the end; placing it at the beginning of the sentence yields a more natural, grammatically correct structure.
× In my opinion, bikes are not popular because most of people buy cars and I can't hardly see anyone on bikes.
✓ In my opinion, bikes are not popular because most people buy cars and I can hardly see anyone on bikes.
Use 'most people' not 'most of people.' Also 'can't hardly' is a double negative; use 'can hardly' to mean 'rarely.' These corrections fix tense/usage and negation errors.
× However children ride bikes and it is a fun activity for them.
✓ However, children do ride bikes, and it is a fun activity for them.
Add a comma after 'However' and use 'do ride' for emphasis/contrast in present tense. This clarifies the contrast with the previous sentence and improves flow.
