Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 35.0Sugestão: Bạn đã trả lời đúng hướng nhưng câu trả lời còn nhiều từ ngập ngừng (“uh”, “umm”), tự sửa lỗi và kết thúc dang dở. Ngoài ra, “bag” và “tile” có vẻ là lỗi phát âm hoặc dùng từ; trong ngữ cảnh này nên nói “bike” và “town/neighborhood”. Hãy bắt đầu bằng câu trả lời trực tiếp, sau đó thêm 1–2 chi tiết cụ thể về chiếc xe và hoạt động bạn thường làm. Cố gắng dùng tối đa 3 câu hoàn chỉnh, liên kết bằng “and”, “so” hoặc “because”.
Exemplo: Yes, I did. When I was five, my mother bought me a small bike for my birthday. I used to ride it around my neighborhood and play with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 40.0Sugestão: Bạn đã nêu được ý chính rằng xe đạp phổ biến, đồng thời đưa ra hai nhóm người sử dụng là trẻ em và người lớn tuổi. Tuy nhiên, câu trả lời có nhiều lần ngập ngừng, lặp từ và lỗi cấu trúc như “beside the children use used by” và “use spike”. Hãy nói rõ: trẻ em đi học bằng xe đạp, còn người lớn tuổi đạp xe để tập thể dục. Bạn nên thêm một lý do hoặc ví dụ cụ thể, chẳng hạn xe đạp rẻ, tiện lợi và tốt cho sức khỏe; đồng thời kết thúc bằng câu hoàn chỉnh thay vì bỏ dở.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many children ride them to school, while older people often cycle in parks or around their neighborhoods to stay healthy. Bikes are affordable, convenient, and environmentally friendly.
× When I was five years old, my mom bought a bag for me at my birthday is a very small bag.
✓ When I was five years old, my mom bought a very small bike for me on my birthday. It was very small.
The verb is should be in the past tense because the speaker is describing an event that happened when they were five years old. Use was, not is, for a past description.
× My mom bought a bag for me at my birthday.
✓ My mom bought a very small bike for me on my birthday.
Use the preposition on with specific days and special dates, such as on my birthday. The preposition at is not appropriate in this expression.
× When I was five years old, my mom bought a bag for me at my birthday is a very small bag.
✓ When I was five years old, my mom bought a very small bike for me on my birthday. It was very small.
The original sentence incorrectly joins two complete ideas with no proper separation. Use a full stop and a new subject, it, to form two clear sentences.
× I used it to go around my tile, play with my.
✓ I used it to go around my town and play with my friends.
The phrase play with my is incomplete because my must be followed by a noun. Add a noun such as friends. The complete sentence also needs a conjunction to connect the two activities.
× I used it to go around my tile, play with my.
✓ I used it to go around my town and play with my friends.
Use the conjunction and to connect two activities performed with the bike: go around town and play with friends.
× Besides the children use used by to go to school.
✓ Besides children, bikes are used to go to school.
The general noun children is plural, so it does not need the article the when speaking about children in general. The sentence also needs a plural subject, bikes, to express the general idea clearly.
× I see many old people use spike to do exercise.
✓ I see many older people use bikes to exercise.
The question asks about a current situation, so the present tense is appropriate. The verb see is correctly in the present tense; the sentence has been reorganized to use the natural present-time expression use bikes to exercise.
× Beside the children use used by to go to school, I see many old people use spike to do exercise.
✓ Besides children using bikes to go to school, I see many older people using bikes to exercise.
Use besides, meaning in addition to, rather than beside, which means next to. The preposition-like expression besides should introduce an additional point.
× Besides the children use used by to go to school, I see many old people use spike to do exercise.
✓ Besides children using bikes to go to school, I see many older people using bikes to exercise.
After besides when introducing an activity, use a gerund phrase: children using bikes. In the second part, using bikes keeps the two activities parallel and makes the structure clearer.
× They are right back to.
✓ They ride bikes, too.
The original verb phrase is incomplete and does not express the intended present-time activity. Use the present-tense verb ride to describe what older people do regularly.
