Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Be direct and use the past tense for a childhood question. Give a brief reason or brief detail (1–2 sentences) and avoid trailing words or fillers. Use a clear topic sentence, then one short supporting detail with a linking phrase if needed.
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or rode public transport because my family lived in a busy city and it wasn't safe to cycle.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Use correct grammar (subject-verb agreement and plural forms), avoid fillers, and organize the answer with a topic sentence plus one specific supporting detail. Use a linking word like "for example" or "especially" to make the idea coherent and add a concrete detail (when, who, or place).
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Indonesia. For example, many students and office workers ride bicycles after school or during short commutes because they are cheap and convenient in crowded neighborhoods.
× No, I don't have a bike but.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike.
The question asks about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. 'Don't have' is present; 'didn't have' is correct. Also the trailing 'but' is incomplete and unnecessary. Suggestion: Use past simple for past states and remove unfinished conjunctions.
× Yes MO, most of Indonesian you uh, rides their bike, umm, every after the uh, school time and yeah.
✓ Yes, most Indonesians ride their bikes every afternoon after school.
Several errors: 'most of Indonesian' should be plural 'most Indonesians' (singular/plural issue). The verb must agree with the plural subject: use 'ride' not 'rides' (subject-verb agreement/third person plural). 'Their bike' should be plural 'their bikes' to match 'most Indonesians' (singular/plural). 'Every after the school time' is ungrammatical; use 'every afternoon after school' for natural phrasing (preposition and phrase order). Also remove filler words. Suggestion: Use plural subject and plural noun forms and proper time expression; keep verb in present simple for habitual actions.
