Score: 25.0Suggestion: Bạn đã lặp lại câu hỏi của giám khảo thay vì trả lời. Hãy trả lời trực tiếp bằng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng (có/không và chút mô tả), sau đó thêm 1–2 câu chi tiết hỗ trợ. Sử dụng từ nối nếu cần để làm rõ ý (for example, when, because, so). Giữ tổng số câu không vượt quá 5 và tránh lặp lại câu hỏi.
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small blue bicycle with training wheels, which my parents bought for my seventh birthday. I used to ride it around the neighborhood every afternoon, and because the roads were quiet, I felt safe and confident while learning.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 30.0Suggestion: Bạn lại lặp câu hỏi thay vì đưa ra ý kiến. Hãy nêu quan điểm trực tiếp (Yes/No/It depends) rồi giải thích với lý do cụ thể và ví dụ. Dùng từ nối như "however", "for example" để kết nối các câu và làm câu trả lời mạch lạc. Giữ câu ngắn gọn, tự nhiên và tránh lặp lại câu hỏi.
Example: I think bikes are somewhat popular in my country, especially in smaller towns and among students. For example, many people use bicycles to commute short distances because they are cheap and easy to park. However, in big cities, cars and motorbikes are more common due to faster travel and better road infrastructure.
× Did you have a bike when you were a child?
✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child.
The student's reply repeats the examiner's question instead of providing a proper answer. This is a sentence structure/response error: answers to yes/no questions in past tense should use 'Yes, I did' or 'No, I didn't' followed by additional information if desired. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, I did' and optionally add details, e.g., 'Yes, I did. It was a small red bike.'
× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.
The student repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. For a present-tense opinion question using 'do you think', an appropriate response is 'Yes, I think...' or 'No, I don't think...'. Suggestion: give a direct answer and optionally justify, e.g., 'Yes, I think bikes are popular because many people use them for short trips.'
