Score: 30.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời chưa nêu rõ bạn có xe đạp hay không; phần giải thích còn khó hiểu và chưa liên kết hợp lý với câu hỏi. Hãy trả lời trực tiếp trước, sau đó thêm một lý do hoặc kỷ niệm cụ thể. Chú ý dùng thì quá khứ: “I didn’t have”, “my parents took me”, và tránh lặp từ như “play the games”.
Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents usually took me to the park or the theme park, so I didn’t really need one.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Bạn đã trả lời trực tiếp và đưa ra lý do phù hợp, nhưng cần nói tự nhiên, rõ ràng hơn và tránh các từ đệm lặp lại như “Yeah”. Phát âm/viết đúng “bike”; dùng hiện tại “allows” thay vì “allowed”, và cấu trúc “allows people to save”. Có thể nêu cụ thể xe đạp giúp tiết kiệm tiền xăng và thuận tiện cho quãng đường ngắn.
Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they’re convenient and inexpensive. For short trips, people can use a bike instead of a car, which helps them save money on fuel and avoid traffic.
× Yeah, in the past I not have a bike because I can ride it instead of my parent make me do something like that.
✓ Yeah, in the past, I didn't have a bike because I couldn't ride one; instead, my parents made me do something like that.
The sentence describes the past, so use the past forms didn't have, couldn't, and made. For a negative statement in the simple past, use did not (didn't) + the base form of the verb.
× For example my parents take me go to the theme park to play the play the games yeah that's it.
✓ For example, my parents took me to the theme park to play games. Yeah, that's it.
The speaker is describing a childhood experience, so take should be in the simple past: took.
× For example my parents take me go to the theme park to play the play the games yeah that's it.
✓ For example, my parents took me to the theme park to play games. Yeah, that's it.
The correct structure is take someone to a place. Use to before the destination: took me to the theme park.
× For example, it allowed people save time and money for the fuel.
✓ For example, it allows people to save time and money on fuel.
The answer describes a general benefit of bikes, so use the present-tense verb allows rather than the past-tense allowed.
× For example, it allowed people save time and money for the fuel.
✓ For example, it allows people to save time and money on fuel.
The verb allow is followed by an object and a to-infinitive: allow people to save. Include to before save.
× For example, it allowed people save time and money for the fuel.
✓ For example, it allows people to save time and money on fuel.
The natural preposition in this expression is on: save money on fuel. Use on rather than for before fuel.
