Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: Be direct and relevant: answer the question in past tense, give a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Use correct grammar and avoid unrelated or confusing phrases. For example, say whether you had a bike, describe the bike briefly, and mention who taught you and a short memory or how you used it.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and my father taught me to ride in our neighborhood park. I remember feeling proud the first time I rode without help, and I used the bike to visit friends and go to school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion and support it with specific, logical reasons. Use simple, accurate sentences and linking words (for example, because, so, therefore). Avoid unrelated fragments and unclear metaphors. Mention one or two concrete reasons why bikes are popular and, if possible, give an example or brief comparison.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are inexpensive to buy and cheap to maintain. For example, many people in cities prefer cycling for short commutes to avoid traffic and save money on fuel and public transport.
× Yes I do. I have a baby.
✓ Yes, I did. I had a bicycle.
The student was asked about having a bike when they were a child (past), so the reply must be in past tense and use the correct noun. 'I do' is present tense and 'I have a baby' is an unrelated and incorrect pronoun/noun choice. Use past simple 'I did' or better 'Yes, I had a bicycle' to match the question's tense and meaning. Suggestion: Answer childhood possession questions using past tense and the correct noun (bike/bicycle).
× When I was a child my father told me how to use it.
✓ When I was a child my father taught me how to use it.
The verb 'told' is not incorrect grammatically but 'teach' is the appropriate verb when referring to giving instruction or showing how to do something. Using 'taught' (past tense) matches 'When I was a child' and conveys the correct meaning. Suggestion: Use 'teach'->'taught' for learning/instruction contexts in the past tense.
× Yes, make your preparation icon dream.
✓ Yes, I think so.
This sentence is ungrammatical and appears to be a string of unrelated words ('make your preparation icon dream') that do not form a coherent response. A simple, relevant reply to 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' is 'Yes, I think so.' or 'Yes, they are.' Suggestion: Keep responses concise and directly related to the question; avoid unrelated words or fragments.
× Since our country I've got stars are expensive so I think people use bikes more conveniently to save more money.
✓ In our country, petrol and cars are expensive, so I think people use bikes more to save money.
The original sentence has multiple structural and lexical errors: 'Since our country' is incorrect connector; 'I've got stars' appears to be nonsense; 'are expensive' lacks a clear subject; 'use bikes more conveniently' is awkward—'more' suffices. The corrected sentence uses a proper subordinating phrase ('In our country'), a plausible subject ('petrol and cars' or 'fuel and cars'), correct verb agreement ('are expensive'), and a natural phrase ('use bikes more to save money'). Suggestion: Start with a clear time/place phrase, identify the correct subject, ensure verb agreement, and use natural collocations (e.g., 'save money', 'use bikes more').
