Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar and tense, give a direct topic sentence and a brief reason or context. Use past simple or 'used to' correctly and keep it concise (1–2 sentences). For example, say whether you had one and why or why not.
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My family lived in a small apartment and my parents thought it was unsafe for me to ride in our busy neighbourhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific reasons using appropriate linking words (for example, 'first' and 'second'). Avoid unclear words and pronunciation errors; choose precise vocabulary (e.g., 'cheaper' instead of 'deeper'). Keep to 2–3 sentences total.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are becoming more popular in my country, especially among young people. First, they are cheaper to buy and maintain than cars; second, many towns now have safe bike paths, which makes cycling more convenient and enjoyable.
× No, we don't used to have bikes when we were young or child.
✓ No, we didn't use to have bikes when we were young.
The sentence mixes present-tense auxiliary 'do' with past habitual 'used to.' For past habitual negative, use 'didn't use to' (do not add -ed to 'use' after 'did'). Also 'child' is incorrect; use 'children' or the phrase 'when I/ we were children' or 'when we were young.' Suggestion: use 'didn't use to' for past habit and plural 'children' or 'young.'
× His spikes are becoming more popular in our country, especially among young people.
✓ Bikes are becoming more popular in our country, especially among young people.
The student used 'His spikes' which is incorrect pronoun and noun choice. The question refers to bikes, so use 'Bikes.' 'His' wrongly refers to a person; use the correct noun and plural form 'Bikes.'
× Uh, a few reason would be like Rd. between the towns and Arsenic and great for riding.
✓ A few reasons are that they are good for traveling between towns and great for riding.
The original has unclear fragments and wrong words ('Rd.' and 'Arsenic' seem to be mistakes). 'A few reason' should be plural 'A few reasons.' Use a clear structure: 'A few reasons are that...' Then give correct reasons: 'good for traveling between towns' and 'great for riding.' Ensure verbs agree with plural 'reasons' with 'are.'
× Number 2 will be the bikes are often deeper to maintain than the cars and people often.
✓ Secondly, bikes are often cheaper to maintain than cars, and people often prefer them.
'Number 2 will be' is awkward; in spoken English use 'Secondly.' 'Deeper' is incorrect word choice; the intended word is 'cheaper.' Articles: do not use 'the cars' here; say 'cars.' The sentence was also incomplete at the end; add a clear clause like 'people often prefer them.' Use comparative 'cheaper to maintain than cars.'
