Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 5.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời hiện chưa nêu rõ bạn có xe đạp hay không; cụm “It is booked by” không phù hợp và khiến ý nghĩa khó hiểu. Hãy trả lời trực tiếp bằng “Yes” hoặc “No”, sau đó thêm một chi tiết cụ thể như ai mua xe, màu sắc hoặc nơi bạn thường đạp xe.
Example: Yes, I had a small blue bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me, and I often rode it around our neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 30.0Suggestion: Bạn đã đưa ra ý kiến và nhắc đến giá cả, nhưng câu trả lời có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp và cách diễn đạt chưa rõ, chẳng hạn “more still popular”, “in countries” và “first by”. Hãy nói rõ bạn đang đề cập đến xe máy hay xe đạp, rồi giải thích ngắn gọn vì sao chúng phổ biến; dùng từ nối như “because” hoặc “although” để kết nối ý. Chú ý dùng số nhiều đúng: “motorbikes and cars”.
Example: Yes, motorbikes are very popular in my country, especially in rural areas. Although more people can afford cars now, many still choose motorbikes because they are cheaper and easier to use in traffic.
× When I was a child. It is booked by.
✓ When I was a child, I had a bike.
When I was a child is a dependent time clause and cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Add a main clause with a past-tense verb to answer the question. The phrase It is booked by is unclear, so it cannot be corrected reliably without knowing what you intended to say.
× Oh, yes, but it is more still popular in countries, although the level of development in countryside has increased significantly.
✓ Oh, yes, but bikes are still more popular in the countryside, although the level of development there has increased significantly.
The question refers to bikes, which is plural, so use bikes or they rather than it. Keeping the noun bikes in the corrected sentence also makes the reference clear.
× Oh, yes, but it is more still popular in countries, although the level of development in countryside has increased significantly.
✓ Oh, yes, but bikes are still more popular in the countryside, although the level of development there has increased significantly.
Still should come before more popular in this sentence: bikes are still more popular. Place still before the phrase it modifies to make the comparison clear.
× Oh, yes, but it is more still popular in countries, although the level of development in countryside has increased significantly.
✓ Oh, yes, but bikes are still more popular in the countryside, although the level of development there has increased significantly.
Use the before countryside when referring to the countryside as a general area. Remember that many singular place-related nouns require an article in this kind of phrase.
× Many people have motorbike and car, first by still a top choice because of the price and above all.
✓ Many people have motorbikes and cars. Bikes are still a top choice, mainly because of their low price.
Motorbike and car are countable nouns referring to items people commonly own, so use the plural forms motorbikes and cars. Check whether countable nouns should be plural when you are talking about them generally.
× Many people have motorbike and car, first by still a top choice because of the price and above all.
✓ Many people have motorbikes and cars. Bikes are still a top choice, mainly because of their low price.
The phrase first by still a top choice does not contain a complete subject-and-verb clause. Use a clear subject, Bikes, and the verb are to form the complete sentence Bikes are still a top choice.
