Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Bạn trả lời đúng trọng tâm nhưng cần cải thiện thì thì động từ, ngữ pháp số ít/ số nhiều, và trật tự từ. Hạn chế lỗi ngữ pháp như “I have” thay vì “I had”, “When I were” phải là “When I was”, và trật tự “bought me” thay vì “bought for me”. Giữ câu ngắn gọn (tối đa 4–5 câu) và thêm một chi tiết cụ thể (mô tả màu sắc hoặc kiểu xe) để làm câu trả lời thuyết phục hơn. Sử dụng liên từ thích hợp khi bổ sung thông tin.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My dad bought it for me for my tenth birthday; it was a bright red mountain bike. I used to ride it almost every afternoon with my friends, and we often explored nearby parks.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Câu trả lời nêu được ý chính nhưng cần sửa ngữ pháp và từ vựng để tự nhiên hơn: dùng “Yes”/“I think” thay vì “Yeah”, thay “it is popular for people... to cycle” bằng cấu trúc gọn hơn như “cycling is popular”. Chú ý cách so sánh “the elderly… more than the young” và dùng thì đúng khi nói về xu hướng (present simple). Thêm ví dụ cụ thể hoặc số liệu ngắn để tăng tính thuyết phục. Dùng liên từ (for example, because) khi mở rộng ý.

Example: I think cycling is quite popular in my country. For example, many new cycling clubs open each year, and people often cycle for exercise or leisure. Older people, in particular, tend to cycle regularly because it is low-impact and keeps them active.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× Yeah, I have a bike.

Yeah, I had a bike.

The question asks about the past (when you were a child), so the student should use past tense 'had' instead of present 'have'. Use past simple for completed states in the past. Suggestion: Use past simple for habits or possessions in the past: 'I had a bike.'

Past tense issue

× When I were a child, my dad bought for me when it was my 10th birthday.

When I was a child, my dad bought me a bike for my 10th birthday.

Multiple issues: 'were' should be past singular 'was' (subject-verb agreement for I), and the verb phrase 'bought for me' is incorrect word order in English; use 'bought me a bike' or 'bought a bike for me'. Also 'when it was my 10th birthday' is wordy; 'for my 10th birthday' is natural. Suggestion: Use 'When I was a child' and 'my dad bought me a bike for my 10th birthday.'

Past tense issue

× It was a really nice bike and I often rode it with my friends.

It was a really nice bike and I often rode it with my friends.

This sentence is grammatically correct. The past tense 'was' and 'rode' correctly describe past events. No change needed. Suggestion: Maintain past simple for past habitual actions: 'I often rode it with my friends.'

Present tense issue

× Yeah, it is popular for people in my country to cycle in their free time.

Yeah, cycling is popular in my country in people's free time.

Original uses 'it is popular for people... to cycle' which is grammatical but wordy and slightly awkward. Changing to 'cycling is popular' uses the gerund as a subject and is more natural. Keep present simple as general fact. Suggestion: Use gerund subject: 'Cycling is popular in my country.'

Incorrect passive voice

× There are many cycling clubs being opened each year and people, especially the elderly, tend to cycle more than young.

Many cycling clubs are opened each year, and people, especially the elderly, tend to cycle more than young people.

'being opened' is an awkward progressive passive; simple passive 'are opened' or active 'are established' is better. Also 'young' alone is informal; use 'young people'. Maintain parallel structure and present simple for habitual actions. Suggestion: Use 'Many cycling clubs are opened each year' or 'Many cycling clubs open each year' and 'young people' for clarity.
