Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Улучшите грамматику и последовательность ответов: используйте правильные времена (Past Simple), исправьте согласование (a bike / many bikes), уберите шумовые слова («uh», «to be honest» часто) и говорите более связно, не повторяя мысли. Начните с чёткого тематического предложения, затем добавьте 1–2 конкретных дополнительных деталей (например, с кем вы катались, где, и почему это было приятно). Ограничьте ответ до 3–4 предложений.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child and I loved it. I often rode it to the park with my friends on weekends, which was fun because we could explore different streets. Riding also made me feel independent and healthy.

Điểm: 52.0Gợi ý: Сократите вводные фразы и избегайте неопределённых выражений («maybe», «something like that»). Дайте чёткое мнение и затем подкрепите его конкретными причинами и примерами (например, экономичность, пробки, фитнес, инфраструктура). Используйте связки (for example, because, therefore) чтобы ответ был логичным. Стремитесь к 2–3 предложениям с правильной грамматикой.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them to avoid traffic and save money on transport. For example, commuters often cycle short distances to work, and cycling is also promoted for health and environmental reasons.
× When I was a child exactly, I had one bike which I really, uh, loved.
✓ When I was a child, I had one bike that I really loved.
The sentence originally used 'which' and extra word 'exactly' awkwardly. Use 'that' or remove 'exactly' for natural phrasing. The past tense 'had' and 'loved' are correct. Suggestion: remove fillers and word 'exactly' and use 'that' to introduce a defining clause.
× So to be honest, when I was a child, I have a lot of bikes and bicycles.
✓ So to be honest, when I was a child, I had a lot of bikes and bicycles.
The clause refers to a past time ('when I was a child'), so the verb must be in the past tense. 'Have' (present) is incorrect here; change to 'had'.
× So it was very good to rode the bike because it's very interesting to, uh, roads.
✓ So it was very good to ride the bike because it was very interesting to go on the roads.
'Rode' is the simple past form; after 'to' the base form (infinitive) 'ride' is required. Also tense consistency: the clause refers to the past, so use 'was' and replace 'it's' with 'it was'. 'Go on the roads' is clearer than 'roads'.
× To be honest, yes, I think bikes are really popular in our country is because uh, many people like to ride a bike.
✓ To be honest, yes, I think bikes are really popular in our country because many people like to ride bikes.
The original sentence has a redundant 'is' causing a sentence structure error. Remove the extra 'is'. Also use plural 'bikes' after 'ride' to match general statement and delete filler 'uh'.
× It's because maybe they want to feel that they are traveling or something like that.
✓ Maybe they want to feel that they are traveling or something like that.
Starting with 'It's because' is unnecessary and creates a weak pronoun reference. The sentence is clearer without it. Pronouns 'they' and 'that' are otherwise correct; remove 'It's because' to improve cohesion.
