Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Bạn trả lời trực tiếp và đưa ra chi tiết phù hợp về việc đạp xe đến trường cùng bạn thân. Tuy nhiên, câu trả lời có nhiều lần lặp và ngập ngừng; đồng thời cần giữ thì quá khứ nhất quán: dùng “rode” thay vì “drive/ride”, và “felt” thay vì “feel”. Hãy kết thúc bằng một cảm nhận ngắn gọn để câu trả lời tự nhiên hơn.
Example: Yes, I did. I rode my bike to school with my best friend every day, and I always felt relaxed during the ride.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Bạn có ý so sánh mức độ phổ biến của xe đạp trong quá khứ và hiện tại, nhưng câu trả lời còn khó hiểu do lặp từ, ngập ngừng và dùng sai từ “buys” thay cho “bikes”. Hãy trả lời trực tiếp, dùng cấu trúc tương phản rõ ràng như “They used to be…, but…”, và sửa thì của “living standards have risen”. Bạn cũng có thể nêu lý do cụ thể, chẳng hạn nhiều người chuyển sang xe máy hoặc ô tô.
Example: They used to be very popular in my country, but fewer people use them now. As living standards have risen, many people can afford motorbikes or cars instead.
× I feel that I uh I was very relaxed when I ride my bike every day.
✓ I feel that I was very relaxed when I rode my bike every day.
The sentence refers to a childhood habit in the past, so use the past-tense form rode instead of ride. The phrase I feel can remain in the present because it describes how you feel now.
× when um the living standard uh rise and people uh have more money
✓ when the living standard rises and people have more money
The subject the living standard is singular, so the verb in the present tense needs the third-person singular ending -s: rises. People is plural, so have is the correct verb form.
