Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Make a clear topic sentence and correct grammar and agreement ("are" not "has been" for plural nouns, avoid repeating words).

× Yeah, I used to have a little back bike when I was about 6 years old and my dad teach taught me how to ride back and when I finally finished studying it and I got my own new bike.

Multiple past tense and word-choice errors: 'teach' is present tense and should be the past tense 'taught' to match 'used to' and 'was'; 'back bike' is incorrect word choice — likely intended 'bike'; 'ride back' is incorrect phrase — use 'ride it' or 'ride a bike'; 'finished studying it' is unnatural for learning to ride a bike — use 'finally learned'. Suggestion: keep all verbs describing past events in past tense, use appropriate vocabulary for the activity (ride a bike), and simplify the clause to 'when I finally learned'.
× Yes, bicycles are very popular in China and has been a traditional, traditional form of transportation.
✓ Yes, bicycles are very popular in China and have been a traditional form of transportation.
Subject-verb agreement: the compound subject 'bicycles' is plural, so the verb must be plural 'have' not 'has'. Also remove the duplicated word 'traditional'. Suggestion: match verb number to subject number and avoid repetition.
× There's especially common and popular among students who often ride bike to school, and you can see so many bikes parked outside campuses and around cities because they're cheap and convenient.
✓ They are especially common and popular among students, who often ride bikes to school, and you can see many bicycles parked outside campuses and around cities because they are cheap and convenient.
Several sentence-structure and grammar issues: 'There's' (there is) is singular and does not agree with plural subject; better to start with 'They are'. 'Ride bike' needs plural or article: 'ride bikes' or 'ride a bike'; 'so many' is acceptable but 'many bicycles' is more natural; contraction 'they're' expanded for clarity. Suggestion: ensure subject and verb agree in number, use plural nouns consistently for general statements, and place commas to separate clauses for clarity.
