Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời có ý chính và các chi tiết bổ sung, nhưng có một số lỗi nghiêm trọng về từ vựng và ngữ pháp. “Bag” cần sửa thành “bike”, “my parent” nên là “my parents”, và “wanted to me know” nên là “wanted me to learn”. Cụm “became the first person in my hometown” không tự nhiên và có vẻ quá rộng; bạn nên nói rõ rằng mình là người đầu tiên trong khu phố hoặc trong gia đình biết đi xe đạp. Ngoài ra, tránh lặp “So” và nên dùng từ nối như “because” hoặc “after that” để câu trả lời mạch lạc hơn.
Example: Yes, I did. My parents bought me a bike when I was about six because they wanted me to learn how to ride. I practiced in my neighborhood every afternoon, and after a few weeks, I was able to ride on my own.

Score: 42.0Suggestion: Bạn đã trả lời trực tiếp và đưa ra lý do, nhưng câu trả lời còn nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp và cách diễn đạt chưa tự nhiên. “my country Vietnam” nên sửa thành “Vietnam” hoặc “my country”, “every child need” cần là “every child needs”, và “before they went to primary school” nên là “before they start primary school”. Cụm “it’s also really have thought you have a health” không rõ nghĩa; có thể thay bằng “cycling is good for people’s health”. Bạn nên dùng hai lý do rõ ràng: trẻ em thường học đi xe đạp và xe đạp giúp rèn luyện sức khỏe.
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Vietnam. Most children learn to ride a bike before they start primary school, and many people also cycle for exercise. However, in big cities, motorbikes are more common because they are faster and more convenient.

The noun parent should be plural because the pronoun they refers to more than one parent. Use parents instead of parent.

After want, use the structure want + object + to-infinitive. Therefore, wanted to me know is incorrect; it should be wanted me to know. Breaking the long sentence into shorter sentences also makes the structure clearer.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are really popular in my country, Vietnam, because every child needs to know how to ride a bike before going to primary school, and bikes also really help people stay healthy.
Every child is a singular subject, so the present-tense verb must have the third-person singular ending: needs, not need.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are really popular in my country, Vietnam, because every child needs to know how to ride a bike before going to primary school, and bikes also really help people stay healthy.
The answer describes a general situation, so use the present tense. Went is a past-tense form; in this context, use go or the more natural structure before going to primary school.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are really popular in my country, Vietnam, because every child needs to know how to ride a bike before going to primary school, and bikes also really help people stay healthy.
Health is generally an uncountable noun, so it is not normally used with a. Use good health or the adjective healthy. Also, when referring to school as an institution, say go to primary school rather than go to the primary school.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are really popular in my country, Vietnam, because every child needs to know how to ride a bike before going to primary school, and bikes also really help people stay healthy.
The phrase it's also really have thought you have a health is not grammatically structured. To express the intended meaning, use the subject bikes, the verb help, and the complement stay healthy. Avoid combining it is with an incorrect verb phrase.
