Score: 5.0Suggestion: Bạn đã lặp lại câu hỏi thay vì trả lời trực tiếp, nên câu trả lời không cung cấp thông tin và không thể hiện khả năng sử dụng từ vựng hay ngữ pháp. Hãy bắt đầu bằng câu trả lời rõ ràng như “Yes, I did” hoặc “No, I didn’t”, sau đó thêm 1–2 chi tiết cụ thể, chẳng hạn như loại xe, thời điểm bạn sử dụng hoặc hoạt động bạn thường làm bằng xe đạp.
Example: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about seven years old. I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends after school.

Score: 72.0Suggestion: Bạn trả lời trực tiếp và đưa ra lý do phù hợp, nhưng cấu trúc “it’s easy to use, it’s convenient and very cheap” còn lặp từ “it’s” và hơi đơn giản. Hãy dùng cách diễn đạt tự nhiên hơn như “They are easy and convenient to use, as well as affordable.” Bạn cũng nên thêm một ví dụ hoặc kết quả cụ thể để phát triển câu trả lời, đồng thời dùng từ nối như “Moreover” hoặc “For example”.
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are convenient, affordable, and easy to use. Moreover, they are a practical way to travel through crowded city streets. For example, many students ride bikes to school every day.
× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because it's easy to use, it's convenient and very cheap.
✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because they are easy to use, convenient, and very cheap.
The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to bikes, which is plural. Therefore, use the plural pronoun they and the plural verb are. Also, use parallel adjectives: easy to use, convenient, and very cheap.
