This days, bicycles aren't very popular in the Philippines. Most people prefer motorcycles or ride hailing UMM apps because they are more convenient for long distances and generally feel safer for daily commuting.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 72.0建議: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct minor grammar (e.g., "these days", plural agreement) and avoid redundancy ("you could see that are teenagers are using").
範例: Yes. I had a bike when I was about five or six. It wasn’t a regular teenager’s bike; it had training wheels, which made me feel safe while I learned to balance. Because of those supports, I grew confident riding around our neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 68.0建議: Give a clear direct answer, then support it with specific reasons and a linking phrase. Fix small errors and avoid filler words ("UMM"). Mention brief evidence or an example to strengthen your point.
範例: Not really — bicycles are less popular in the Philippines nowadays. For example, most commuters choose motorcycles or ride‑hailing apps because they are faster on busy roads and more practical for long trips, especially when public transport is unreliable.
× it's not a typical bike you could see that are teenagers are using at that age.
✓ it's not a typical bike you would see teenagers using at that age.
The original sentence has a plural/singular and relative clause problem: 'that are teenagers are using' is ungrammatical. Use 'you would see teenagers using' to correctly link 'teenagers' (plural) with the participle 'using' and avoid the extra 'are'. Also 'could' is changed to 'would' to match the hypothetical/ habitual observation context.
× My bike has a support system.
✓ My bike had a support system.
The examiner asked about possession in the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student should use past tense 'had' rather than present 'has'. This is an article/tense alignment issue to match the time frame of the question.
× This days, bicycles aren't very popular in the Philippines.
✓ These days, bicycles aren't very popular in the Philippines.
'This days' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'These days' (plural demonstrative with plural noun). This is an adverbial/time expression error and a plural demonstrative agreement issue. Use 'These days' to refer to the current period.
× Most people prefer motorcycles or ride hailing UMM apps because they are more convenient for long distances and generally feel safer for daily commuting.
✓ Most people prefer motorcycles or ride-hailing apps because they are more convenient for long distances and generally feel safer for daily commuting.
Use 'ride-hailing apps' as the correct compound noun; 'or ride hailing UMM apps' is awkward and includes 'UMM' (hesitation) which should be omitted in written form. Hyphenate 'ride-hailing' when used as a compound modifier. The rest of the sentence is fine, and keeping plural agreement with 'apps' matches 'motorcycles'.
