Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Câu trả lời đi thẳng vào ý chính và có lý do, nhưng cần sửa thì: “when I was a child” nên đi với quá khứ “cycling wasn’t”; “got a bike” có thể dùng nhưng “had a bike” tự nhiên hơn trong câu hỏi này. Cụm “forced me to do some sport” hơi cứng và chưa tự nhiên; nên nói “encouraged me to take up a sport” hoặc “made me take up cycling.” Hãy thêm một chi tiết cụ thể về mức độ sử dụng hoặc cảm nhận của bạn để câu trả lời đầy đủ hơn. Đồng thời, dùng dấu phẩy và từ nối như “although” để liên kết ý mạch lạc.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. Although cycling wasn’t really my cup of tea, my mother encouraged me to take it up as a way to stay active. I rode it around my neighborhood a few times a week, but I never became a serious cyclist.

提案: Câu trả lời có sự đối lập bằng “However”, nhưng câu đầu không phù hợp với câu hỏi vì chuyển sang “This car” thay vì nói chung về ô tô; nên dùng “Cars are the most popular means of transport.” Cần sửa “bikes still a popular” thành “bikes are still popular” và tránh lặp lại “still a popular.” Hãy trả lời trực tiếp ngay từ đầu, sau đó nêu lý do hoặc ví dụ cụ thể, chẳng hạn xe đạp phổ biến ở vùng nông thôn, với học sinh hoặc để tập thể dục. Chú ý viết hoa và dùng danh từ chính xác: “bikes” có thể là “bicycles” hoặc “a popular means of transport.”

例: Yes, bikes are still quite popular in my country, although cars and motorbikes are more common for daily travel. Many people use bicycles for exercise, and children often ride them to school or around their neighborhoods. They are especially popular in smaller towns and rural areas because they are affordable and convenient.

× Well when I was a child cycling is not my cup of tea but I still got a bike because my mother forced me to do some sport

✓ Well, when I was a child, cycling was not my cup of tea, but I still got a bike because my mother forced me to do some sport.

The sentence describes a situation in the past, so the linking verb must be in the past tense: was, not is. Use the past tense consistently when talking about childhood experiences.

× Nowadays This car is the most popular vehicle that is used in my country. However, bikes still a popular type still a popular means of transport

✓ Nowadays, cars are the most popular vehicles used in my country. However, bikes are still a popular means of transport.

Cars and vehicles refer to things in general, so plural nouns are more appropriate than the singular forms this car and vehicle. Also, avoid repeating the phrase a popular type; use the clearer expression a popular means of transport.

× Nowadays This car is the most popular vehicle that is used in my country. However, bikes still a popular type still a popular means of transport

✓ Nowadays, cars are the most popular vehicles used in my country. However, bikes are still a popular means of transport.

The plural subject cars requires the plural verb are. Similarly, bikes requires are because the sentence needs a linking verb before the adjective phrase a popular means of transport. Check that the verb agrees with the subject in number.
