Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Improve grammatical accuracy, clarity and completeness. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, correct verb forms and article usage. Keep it natural and concise (within 1–2 sentences). Optionally add a brief supporting detail using a linking word. For example, mention why you didn’t have one or what you used instead.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or took the bus because my family couldn’t afford one.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Make the answer slightly more developed and specific. Begin with a clear topic sentence and then add one or two specific details or reasons using linking words (e.g., because, for example, especially). Avoid redundancy and keep it under five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I do. Bikes are very popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to travel short distances; for example, many students and commuters use them to avoid traffic.
× No, I have not bike when I.
✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a child.
The student used present tense 'have' and an incorrect negation 'have not' for a past situation. The question asks about childhood (past), so use past simple: 'did not have'. Also 'bike' needs an article 'a'. The sentence is incomplete 'when I' should be 'when I was a child'. Suggestion: use past simple for past events, include the indefinite article before singular countable nouns, and complete the clause ('when I was a child').
× Yes I do, bikes are popular in my country.
✓ Yes, they are; bikes are popular in my country.
The student answered 'Yes I do' which uses the auxiliary 'do' for present simple but the follow-up refers to general fact 'bikes are popular', so a clearer response is 'Yes, they are.' This fixes pronoun reference and avoids mixing 'do' with a non-verb phrase. Also add commas/pauses appropriately. Suggestion: match the auxiliary to the referenced verb (use 'they are' for 'are popular'), and use punctuation to separate responses.
