Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời chưa đúng thì và cấu trúc câu. Vì câu hỏi dùng quá khứ “Did you have...?”, em cần dùng “I had”, không dùng “I have”. Ngoài ra, “Giant” là tên thương hiệu nên cần nói rõ “a Giant bike”. Hãy trả lời trực tiếp và thêm một chi tiết ngắn, chẳng hạn em đã sử dụng chiếc xe đó ở đâu hoặc để làm gì.
Example: Yes, I had a Giant bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Em đã đưa ra quan điểm và lý do, nhưng câu có nhiều lỗi khiến ý chưa rõ: “price both of us” và “by” không phù hợp; nên dùng “bikes are popular” và “bikes”. Cần sửa “friendly for environment” thành “environmentally friendly” hoặc “better for the environment”. Hãy sắp xếp câu theo cấu trúc: quan điểm → lý do 1 → lý do 2, đồng thời dùng từ nối như “because” và “also”.
Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are convenient and affordable. They are also environmentally friendly, so many people use them for short trips and commuting.
× Yes, I have a. Giant.
✓ Yes, I had a Giant.
The question asks about a past situation when you were a child, so use the past-tense form had instead of the present-tense form have. Also, do not put a full stop between a and Giant because they form one noun phrase.
× Yes, I think price both of us in my country because by is convenient and so cheap and friendly for environment.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because they are convenient, cheap, and environmentally friendly.
The original sentence has an unclear and incomplete structure. Use the subject bikes after think, the verb are, and the pronoun they to refer back to bikes. A clear structure is: subject + verb + reason. For example, Bikes are popular because they are convenient and cheap.
× friendly for environment
✓ environmentally friendly
Environmentally friendly is the natural adjective phrase for describing something that does not harm the environment. The adverb environmentally modifies the adjective friendly.
× friendly for environment
✓ friendly to the environment
When friendly is followed directly by a noun referring to something treated positively, use to rather than for. The phrase friendly to the environment is grammatically correct, although environmentally friendly is more natural.
