Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Bạn đã trả lời trực tiếp và đưa ra lý do, nhưng câu trả lời có nhiều lỗi về từ vựng, ngữ pháp và cách diễn đạt khiến ý chưa rõ. “Barney” có thể là tên thương hiệu hoặc mẫu xe, nhưng nên nói rõ hơn, chẳng hạn “a bicycle called Barney”. Cụm “Is had tried red” nên sửa thành “It was bright red”, và “when received it I could buy it” nên diễn đạt là “When I received it, I was very excited because I could ride it.” Hãy dùng cấu trúc rõ ràng gồm câu trả lời trực tiếp, thông tin về người mua xe và cảm xúc của bạn; 3 câu là đủ cho Part 1.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bicycle called Barney when I was a child. My grandparents bought it for me, and it was bright red. I was very excited when I received it because I could ride around my neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 45.0Sugestão: Bạn đã nêu được ý chính rằng xe đạp phổ biến, nhưng có nhiều lỗi khiến câu trả lời khó hiểu. “18 buys” và “Buys” cần sửa thành “bikes”; không nên lặp lại từ “bikes” một cách rời rạc. Hãy nói rõ phạm vi: “Bikes are quite popular in Vietnam, especially in Ho Chi Minh City,” sau đó đưa ra lý do cụ thể như tiện lợi cho những chuyến đi ngắn và dễ di chuyển trong các con hẻm. Tránh các từ ngập ngừng như “uh” và dùng từ nối như “because” hoặc “especially” để câu trả lời mạch lạc hơn.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Vietnam, especially in Ho Chi Minh City. They are convenient for short trips because they are affordable and easy to use in narrow streets. Many people also ride them for exercise.
× Is had tried red and I was very excited when received it I could buy it.
✓ It was bright red, and I was very excited when I received it. I could ride it.
The sentence describes a childhood experience in the past, so the past form was is needed instead of is. Use was with the singular subject it.
× Is had tried red and I was very excited when received it I could buy it.
✓ It was bright red, and I was very excited when I received it. I could ride it.
The clause when received it is missing the subject I. In English, a finite clause normally needs an explicit subject: when I received it.
× Is had tried red and I was very excited when received it I could buy it.
✓ It was bright red, and I was very excited when I received it. I could ride it.
The original sentence combines several independent ideas without correct clause boundaries. Use a comma before and and a full stop between the two complete sentences.
× Yes, 18 buys are popular in my country in Ho Chi Minh City.
✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country, especially in Ho Chi Minh City.
The phrase in Ho Chi Minh City should be set off as a specific location within the country. Especially in Ho Chi Minh City makes the relationship between the country and the city clearer.
× Buys a convenient way to, uh, travel near uh cities.
✓ Bikes are a convenient way to travel near cities.
The original sentence is missing the linking verb are. A complete sentence needs a subject, a verb, and the rest of the predicate: Bikes are a convenient way to travel.
× Buys a convenient way to, uh, travel near uh cities.
✓ Bikes are a convenient way to travel near cities.
Bikes is a plural subject, so it must be followed by the plural verb are, not the singular form is. Remember to match plural subjects with are.
