Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 15.0Suggestion: Bạn đã lặp lại câu hỏi của giám khảo thay vì trả lời. Hãy trả lời trực tiếp bằng một câu chủ đề, sau đó thêm 1–2 câu chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ: tuổi bắt đầu, loại xe, tần suất sử dụng hoặc kỷ niệm). Sử dụng liên từ (for example, because, so) để mạch lạc. Giữ tổng số câu không quá 5.
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it for my seventh birthday and it was a small red bicycle with training wheels. I used to ride it to the park almost every day with my friends, which helped me become more confident on two wheels.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 20.0Suggestion: Bạn tiếp tục lặp lại câu hỏi chứ không trả lời. Hãy nêu ý kiến rõ ràng trong câu đầu (Yes/No/It depends), rồi giải thích với những chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ: nơi ưa chuộng, mục đích sử dụng, xu hướng gần đây). Dùng liên từ như however, because hoặc for example để làm rõ lập luận.
Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities for short commutes. Many people use them to avoid traffic and for exercise, and recently bike-sharing schemes have become widespread, making cycling more convenient for commuters.
× Did you have a bike when you were a child?
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The student's original reply repeated the examiner's question, providing no answer. This is a sentence structure issue: responses to past-tense yes/no questions should use an affirmative or negative clause rather than repeating the question. Use 'I had' to match the past-tense 'Did you...' and include the subject. Suggestion: answer directly with 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'
× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.
The student's reply merely repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an answer. This is a present-tense response issue: use a present-tense verb 'think' with the subject 'I' to respond. Suggestion: answer directly in present tense, e.g. 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country.'
