Part 1

Examiner

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Candidate

Yes, I did have one when I was four years old. My dad bought it for me for my present, and if my memory serves me right, it was a red bike with two big colorful wheels and two training wheels on two sides to help me balance when I rode.

Examiner

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Candidate

Nowadays they are not as popular as they used to be. I remember when I was a kid, I saw a lot of bicycles on the streets, but now they are replaced by motorbikes or even cars because the modern vehicles are convenient in commuting.

Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Câu trả lời trực tiếp và có nhiều chi tiết cụ thể, chẳng hạn như màu xe và bánh phụ. Tuy nhiên, cụm “bought it for me for my present” chưa tự nhiên; nên dùng “bought it for me as a present”. Ngoài ra, “two big colorful wheels” có thể gây hiểu nhầm vì xe đạp thường có hai bánh chính; nên nói “two small training wheels on either side”. Cụm “when I rode” nên đổi thành “when I was learning to ride it” để diễn đạt chính xác hơn.

Example: Yes, I did. I had one when I was about four years old, and my dad bought it for me as a present. If I remember correctly, it was red and had two small training wheels on either side, which helped me learn to balance.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Câu trả lời có cấu trúc so sánh quá khứ và hiện tại rõ ràng, đồng thời đưa ra lý do hợp lý. Tuy nhiên, “they are replaced by motorbikes” nên đổi thành “they have been replaced by motorbikes” vì nói về sự thay đổi kéo dài đến hiện tại. Cụm “the modern vehicles are convenient in commuting” chưa tự nhiên; nên dùng “motorbikes and cars are more convenient for commuting”. Để câu trả lời cụ thể và hiệu quả hơn, có thể đề cập đến khoảng cách di chuyển xa, tốc độ hoặc tình trạng giao thông.

Example: Not as popular as they used to be. When I was a child, I often saw people riding bicycles around my neighborhood, but nowadays many of them have switched to motorbikes and cars. These vehicles are faster and more convenient for commuting, especially in large cities.

Grammar

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, I did have one when I was four years old. My dad bought it for me for my present, and if my memory serves me right, it was a red bike with two big colorful wheels and two training wheels on two sides to help me balance when I rode.

✓ Yes, I did have one when I was four years old. My dad bought it for me as a present, and if my memory serves me right, it was a red bike with two big colorful wheels and two training wheels on two sides to help me balance when I rode.

The preposition for is not natural in the phrase for my present. Use as a present to show the purpose or role of the bike. You can also say bought it as a gift. ID 11: Incorrect use of prepositions.
