Good job! - You answered directly and gave personal details, which is appropriate for Part 1. - Your content is relevant and coherent: you mentioned typical uses (going to school, hanging out with friends), which helps develop your answer. Improvement suggestions: - Grammar: Keep tense consistent for past habits. Use past simple or "used to" (e.g., "I had a bike" or "I used to have a bike"). Avoid mixing present with past ("I have a bike when I was a child" is incorrect). - Sentence length & structure: Make your answer 2–3 clear sentences.

Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Use a clear past-tense topic sentence, add one or two specific supporting details, and keep sentences short (2–3 sentences). Maintain consistent past tense (past simple or "used to") and include a linking word if you add extra detail.
Ví dụ: Yes. I used to have a bike when I was a child, and I rode it to school most days. Also, I often rode with my friends in the afternoons, which was a fun way to spend time together.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 44.0Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence stating your opinion, then support it with specific, coherent reasons. Use correct grammar and linking words (e.g., "because", "for example", "also"). Avoid short fragments—combine them into full sentences and use past/present tense consistently for general facts.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because many students use them to travel to school. For example, primary and junior-high students often ride bikes to class, and high school students sometimes cycle as well, especially in smaller towns where public transport is limited.
× Good job!
✓ Good question!
The student's reply 'Good job!' is inappropriate to the examiner's question and seems to be a response to praise rather than an answer. This is a sentence choice/content issue (sentence structure/appropriateness). Suggestion: respond directly to the question with a relevant sentence, for example 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' This keeps the answer on-topic and grammatically correct.
× Yes I do because Ichi junior student.
✓ Yes, I think so because primary and junior students often ride bikes to school.
The student used present tense 'I do' with an unclear following clause. The intended meaning is a general present habit in the country, so 'I think so' or 'Yes' is appropriate. Also the fragment 'Ichi junior student' is ungrammatical and unclear. Suggestion: use 'I think so' or 'Yes, they are' and replace unclear nouns with 'primary and junior students' for correct noun phrases and present simple usage for general facts.
× Ride the bikes to school.
✓ They ride bikes to school.
This fragment lacks a subject and uses the article 'the' incorrectly with a general plural (should be 'bikes' without 'the' for generalization). This is a sentence structure and article problem. Suggestion: include the subject 'They' and say 'They ride bikes to school.' for a complete, grammatical sentence.
× In a tissue son of a high school student also go to.
✓ Also, some high school students go by bike.
The original is ungrammatical and contains wrong words ('tissue son') and incorrect word order. This is a sentence structure and word choice error. Suggestion: simplify to 'Also, some high school students go by bike.' or 'Some high school students also ride bikes to school.' to convey the idea with correct word order and vocabulary.
