Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Bạn trả lời đúng trọng tâm và có nêu các mục đích sử dụng xe đạp, nhưng câu quá dài và có nhiều lỗi khiến ý chưa rõ. Hãy dùng cấu trúc quá khứ nhất quán: “I had”, “my dad bought”, “I rode”, “I used”. Chú ý phát âm và dùng đúng từ “bike” (không phải “bite”), “rode” (không phải “wrote”), và “my grandparents’ house”. Kết thúc bằng cảm xúc hoặc kỷ niệm trong quá khứ; câu “in the future I will use it” chưa phù hợp với câu hỏi về thời thơ ấu.
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My dad bought it for me, and I often rode it to my grandparents’ house or to nearby shops. I really enjoyed riding it because it gave me a sense of freedom.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: Bạn đã đưa ra quan điểm và lý do, nhưng câu trả lời bị ngắt ở cuối và có một số từ chưa rõ hoặc dùng sai, chẳng hạn “buys” nên là “bikes”. Hãy nói trực tiếp rằng xe đạp không phổ biến, sau đó giải thích bằng cách so sánh với các phương tiện thường dùng như xe máy, xe buýt và ô tô. Dùng liên từ “because” hoặc “whereas” để nối ý, và hoàn thành câu về sự tiện lợi. Có thể thêm một chi tiết cụ thể như việc người dân cần di chuyển xa hoặc giao thông đô thị.
Example: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country for daily travel. Most people use motorbikes, buses, or cars because they are more convenient for getting around the city. However, some people still ride bikes for exercise or short trips.

The answer describes how the student used the bike in the past, so use the past-tense form used rather than use.

✓ I think buys are not popular in my country because nowadays people often ills check, uh, transports and they use motorbikes, buses or cars to move or to get around the city.
The list names multiple types of vehicles, so bus should be plural: buses. Use consistent plural forms in a list of countable nouns.
× And I think it also, uh, convenient for them to.
✓ And I think it is also, uh, convenient for them.
The clause needs the linking verb is between the subject it and the adjective convenient. A complete clause requires a verb.
