Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Focus on tense accuracy, conciseness, and clearer sentence structure. Start with a clear topic sentence in the past tense, then add one or two supporting details using linking words (for example, ‘and’, ‘but’, ‘so’). Avoid unnecessary repetition and correct grammar (e.g., use past simple: ‘I had’).
Ví dụ: I had a bike when I was a child and I loved riding it around our neighborhood. For example, I often rode with friends after school, and those rides helped me feel independent and active.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence about popularity, then support it with specific examples and use correct phrasing and linking words. Use concise, accurate grammar (e.g., ‘in my area’, ‘mainly used by children’, ‘students who live nearby’). Avoid modal errors like ‘we can could’.
Ví dụ: In my area, bicycles are not very popular among adults and are mainly used by children. However, many students who live close to their schools or universities use bikes to commute, especially during the warmer months.
× Yes, I do have a bike when was when I was a child, so I was really enjoying when I ride it in our neighborhood street.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I really enjoyed riding it in the streets of our neighborhood.
The sentence mixes present and past tenses incorrectly. 'do have' is present but the context is past ('when I was a child'), so use past simple 'had'. 'was really enjoying' is past continuous but awkward here; use simple past 'really enjoyed' for habitual past actions. 'when I ride it' mixes present; replace with the gerund 'riding' after 'enjoyed'. Also 'neighborhood street' should be pluralized to 'streets of our neighborhood' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: keep tense consistent (past) and use gerund after 'enjoyed'.
× But nowadays I could not ride it anymore because I've got gained weight a lot.
✓ But nowadays I cannot ride it anymore because I have gained a lot of weight.
'Could not' suggests past inability; the meaning refers to present inability, so use modal 'cannot' (or 'can't'). 'I've got gained weight a lot' is ungrammatical: combine either 'I've gained a lot of weight' (present perfect) or 'I have got a lot of weight' (colloquial). Correct is 'I have gained a lot of weight'. Also move 'a lot' after 'gained' for natural order. Suggestion: use present modal 'cannot' and correct present perfect form 'have gained a lot of weight'.
× Well based on my region, bikes are mostly used by kids, not very much with adults life, but we can could find it among the student which their school is nearby their houses and we could also see it in universities also.
✓ Well, in my region, bikes are mostly used by kids, not by many adults, but we can find them among students whose schools are near their homes, and we also see them at universities.
Multiple tense and agreement issues: 'based on my region' is better as 'in my region'. 'not very much with adults life' is ungrammatical; use 'not by many adults'. 'we can could find it' mixes modals; choose one ('can find'). 'it' should agree with plural 'bikes' so use 'them'. 'the student which their school is nearby their houses' has several errors: 'students' plural, 'whose' is the correct relative pronoun for possession, 'schools are near their homes' is natural. 'we could also see it in universities also' repeats modal and 'it' should be 'them'; use 'we also see them at universities'. Suggestion: simplify modal usage, ensure pronoun agreement and correct relative pronoun 'whose', and maintain present simple tense for general facts.
