Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Be direct, use correct past tense, avoid repetitions and long unclear phrases. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes, I had a bike.), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words (for example, because/so). Correct grammar (past simple) and concise wording will improve clarity and fluency. Aim for 2–3 sentences and remove filler words.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My mother bought it for me with her first salary because I loved riding, and I remember practicing in the park every weekend.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 56.0Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion sentence and support it with specific reasons and correct grammar. Use plural forms and appropriate linking words (especially/during/because/so) and provide a concrete example or result. Keep answers to 2–3 sentences and avoid vague phrases like "twist their time."
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time many people chose cycling for exercise and safe outdoor activities because it allowed social distancing and was inexpensive.
× Yes, I do have a bike.
✓ Yes, I had a bike.
The question asks about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. Using present tense 'do have' is inconsistent. Use 'had' to match the past time frame.
× When I was a child it was my mom used to buy me a bike because I'm I would really like to ride a bike and when she has her first salary she bought me a bike and after this.
✓ When I was a child my mom used to buy me a bike because I really liked to ride, and when she got her first salary she bought me one.
Multiple issues: tense consistency and redundant/incorrect phrases. 'It was my mom used to buy me' is ungrammatical; use 'my mom used to buy me' for habitual past. 'I'm I would really like' mixes present and modal; replace with simple past 'I really liked'. 'When she has her first salary' should be past: 'when she got her first salary'. Also avoid repeating 'bought me a bike' twice; use 'bought me one' for clarity.
× Yes, bike is popular in our country especially during the COVID time when people don't have something to hang out with so they used bike to have twist their time.
✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country, especially during COVID, when people didn't have other ways to hang out, so they used bikes to pass the time.
Use plural 'bikes are' to agree with general plural noun. Time reference is past ('during COVID'), so change 'don't have' to 'didn't have'. 'Used bike' should be 'used bikes' for plural agreement. 'Have twist their time' is incorrect idiom and grammar; use 'pass the time' to express spending time. Also add commas for clarity.
