Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Câu trả lời ngắn gọn nhưng chứa lỗi ngữ pháp và thiếu chi tiết.

Tránh lặp từ và cố gắng dùng từ vựng phong phú hơn (ví dụ: 'enjoy the view', 'scenery', 'passing landscapes').

Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Câu trả lời có nội dung nhưng mắc nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp (thời quá khứ, mạo từ, chia động từ) và thiếu chi tiết cụ thể. Nên bắt đầu với một câu chủ đề ở thì quá khứ ('Yes, I did' hoặc 'When I was a child, I went...'), sau đó thêm chi tiết cụ thể (khi nào, với ai, làm gì) và dùng từ nối như 'for example' hoặc 'we especially liked' để làm rõ. Sử dụng từ vựng phong phú hơn (ví dụ: 'beach resort', 'memorable', 'travelled by car').
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. When I was a child, my family travelled to Da Nang for a summer holiday. For example, we spent several days at a beach resort where we swam, ate seafood and visited the Marble Mountains, which was a very memorable trip.
× I love sit by the window because I want to look around.
✓ I love sitting by the window because I want to look around.
The verb 'love' when followed by another verb in this context requires the -ing form (gerund). Use 'sitting' after 'love' to indicate enjoyment of the activity. Suggestion: practice verbs that take gerunds (enjoy, dislike, avoid, mind) and replace base form with -ing after them.
× When I was child, I had a long journey with my family.
✓ When I was a child, I had a long journey with my family.
The noun 'child' needs an article 'a' in this context to form the noun phrase 'a child'. Without the article the sentence is ungrammatical. Suggestion: remember singular countable nouns generally require an article or determiner (a/an/the/my) when used alone.
× We go to Danang and have a good time in here.
✓ We went to Danang and had a good time there.
The context refers to a past event, so verbs should be in the simple past ('went', 'had'), not present simple ('go', 'have'). Also, 'in here' is incorrect for past location reference; use 'there'. Suggestion: align verb tense with time expressions (e.g., 'When I was a child' -> use past tense verbs for subsequent actions).
