Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 54.0建議: Câu trả lời cần rõ ràng, mạch lạc và ít lỗi ngữ pháp. Tránh từ ngữ thừa như "uh" và sử dụng thì phù hợp (ví dụ: "used to" cho thói quen quá khứ). Nên mở rộng bằng một câu hỗ trợ (tại sao bạn thích xe đạp hoặc một kỷ niệm ngắn) dùng liên từ để kết nối ý (because, so, and). Giữ tối đa 4-5 câu.
範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it to school almost every day because it was faster than walking. I enjoyed cycling with my friends after classes, and sometimes we raced in the park.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 48.0建議: Câu trả lời nên khẳng định rõ ràng quan điểm và tránh ngập ngừng ("umm"). Chú ý thì động từ (use present simple: "ride" not "rode") và cấu trúc câu mạch lạc. Nên cung cấp lý do hoặc ví dụ cụ thể (where or who uses bikes) và dùng liên từ để nối ý (because, so, for example). Giữ 2-4 câu ngắn gọn.
範例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For example, I often see students and delivery workers riding bikes on busy streets, especially during rush hour.
× Yes, uh, when I would try I used to have a bike and I usually go to school by bike.
✓ Yes, uh, when I was young I used to have a bike and I usually went to school by bike.
The phrase 'when I would try' is incorrect here. For past habitual actions, use 'when I was young' or simply 'when I was a child'. Also maintain past tense consistency: 'used to have' indicates past habitual possession, so 'I usually go to school by bike' should be 'I usually went to school by bike' to match past time reference. Suggestion: use clear past-time markers and keep verbs in the same past timeframe (e.g., 'When I was a child, I used to have a bike and I usually went to school by bike').
× Umm, I'm not sure, but in my country, umm, I see a lot of people rode by on the road.
✓ Umm, I'm not sure, but in my country I see a lot of people riding bikes on the road.
The clause mixes present 'I see' with past 'rode', which is inconsistent. To describe a general present observation, use present participle 'riding' after 'see' (see + object + present participle). Also 'rode by' is unnatural here; 'riding bikes on the road' is clearer. If you intended past observation, use 'I saw a lot of people riding bikes on the road.' Suggestion: match tense between main verb and participle (e.g., 'I see a lot of people riding bikes') and use natural collocations.
