Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Trả lời trực tiếp ngay từ đầu, sau đó giải thích ngắn gọn. Câu trả lời có ý chính nhưng mắc nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp và diễn đạt: dùng “ride a bike”, “my sister had”, “I was quite short” và “either”. Hãy chia ý thành các câu ngắn, dùng từ nối như “but” hoặc “because”, và diễn đạt rõ rằng xe của chị không vừa với bạn. Tránh lặp “actually” và không cần thêm chi tiết không liên quan.
Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because I couldn’t ride one. My older sister had a bike in primary school, but it was too big for me because she was much taller than I was.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 30.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời chưa hoàn chỉnh và có nhiều từ ngập ngừng, khiến ý chính khó hiểu. Hãy trả lời rõ “yes” hoặc “no”, rồi đưa ra một lý do cụ thể, chẳng hạn học sinh thường đi xe đạp đến trường hoặc xe đạp phổ biến ở vùng nông thôn. Sửa cụm “write about the school” thành cách diễn đạt đúng với ý định, như “ride bikes to school”. Kết thúc câu trả lời bằng một ý trọn vẹn và tránh tự sửa lời giữa câu.
Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Many students ride them to school because they’re affordable and convenient. However, in larger cities, people may prefer motorbikes because they can travel longer distances more quickly.
Grammar
× I don't know how to ride bike.
✓ I don't know how to ride a bike.
The singular countable noun bike needs an article. Use a before bike when referring to any bike.
× My sister do have a bike when she's in primary school.
✓ My sister had a bike when she was in primary school.
The sentence describes a situation in the past, so use the past forms had and was. Do have is not appropriate here.
× Because that I work quite short.
✓ Because I was quite short.
Do not use that immediately after because in this clause. Use because followed directly by the subject and verb.
× I don't have the chance to use that bike either.
✓ I didn't have a chance to use that bike either.
The speaker is describing a past childhood situation, so use didn't have rather than don't have. The phrase a chance is also more natural when referring to one opportunity.
