× No, I didn't, uh, when I was a little kid, by which I mean, uh, when I started, umm, the primary school, uh, even when I entered to umm, umm, the higher level, uh, I always umm, learn, uh.
✓ No, I didn't. When I was a little kid, by which I mean when I started primary school and later when I went to a higher level, I was always learning.
The student mixes past simple with present simple ('learn') while describing past habitual actions. Use past progressive or past simple for past continuous/habitual: 'was always learning' or 'always learned'. Also remove unnecessary preposition 'to' after 'entered' and simplify phrasing. Suggestion: use consistent past tense and clearer verbs (e.g., 'went to a higher level'). Grammar problem type ID: 5
× Yes, of course, uh, Vietnamese people like to do exercises, so I think umm, riding a bike is the good choice to uh, keep fit and remain our health.
✓ Yes, of course. Vietnamese people like to exercise, so I think riding a bike is a good choice to keep fit and maintain our health.
Article use is incorrect: 'the good choice' should be 'a good choice' because it is one of many possible choices. Also 'do exercises' is better as the uncountable verb 'exercise', and 'remain our health' is unnatural; use 'maintain our health'. Suggestion: use 'a' for non-specific single items, use 'exercise' for general activity, and use 'maintain' for health context. Grammar problem type ID: 22
