Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Be grammatically accurate, answer directly, and keep content relevant. Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence (e.g. “Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.”). Remove irrelevant or incorrect information (the sentence about "learning writing" is off-topic). Then add one or two brief specific supporting details using linking words (e.g. “and”, “so”, “because”). Keep it to no more than 3–4 short sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a red mountain bike that my parents bought for me when I was eight, and I rode it to school and around our neighborhood every day. Because I practiced often, I became confident riding on small hills and rough paths.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Use consistent tense and clearer linking phrases. Begin with a direct opinion sentence (e.g. “Bikes were more popular before, but they are becoming trendy again.”). Use linking words like “however”, “because”, or “as a result” to connect reasons. Provide one specific reason and one concrete example to support your view, avoiding repetition and grammatical errors.
Ví dụ: Bikes were more popular in the past, but they became less common as cars and motorbikes spread. However, in recent years cycling has regained popularity because many people want healthier lifestyles and cheaper transport; for example, cities now have more bike lanes and bike-sharing programs.
× Yes I do, I have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child.
The sentence mixes present tense ('do', 'have') with a past-time phrase ('when I was a child'). Use past tense for actions or states in the past: 'did' for the short answer and 'had' for possession. Also add a comma after 'Yes' and use full stops for clarity.
× However, I never very good at learning writing.
✓ However, I was never very good at learning to write.
This sentence lacks the appropriate verb 'was' for past state and uses an incorrect gerund phrase 'learning writing'. For ability in writing, use 'learning to write' or 'writing'. The correct past-state verb is 'was' because the speaker refers to a past ability.
× It used to be popular, but when there's more mechanical and electrical vehicle, the bike is become less popular.
✓ It used to be popular, but when there were more mechanical and electrical vehicles, bikes became less popular.
Mixes present contraction 'there's' with past-time context 'used to'. Change to past 'there were'. 'Vehicle' should be plural 'vehicles' (plural agreement) and 'the bike is become' is ungrammatical: use past simple 'bikes became' to match the time frame. Also prefer 'bikes' as general plural.
× But right now it's I think it's become a trend again because people try to reach healthy lifestyle.
✓ But right now I think it has become a trend again because people are trying to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
Original has redundancy ('it's I think it's') and wrong tense 'become' without auxiliary. Use present perfect 'has become' to show change up to now, and present continuous 'are trying' for ongoing effort. Use 'adopt a healthy lifestyle' or 'lead a healthy lifestyle' instead of 'reach healthy lifestyle' for natural collocation.
