Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar (use correct tense and word forms), reduce hesitation words (uh), and make the response more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. For example, correct 'didn't bought' to 'didn't buy' and avoid filler words.
Ví dụ: No, my parents didn’t buy a bike for me because we had many siblings, so we often shared belongings. For example, I usually rode my older brother’s bike to school, and we took turns using it on weekends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Be more precise and use linking words to organize ideas. Replace informal 'yeah' with 'Yes' and remove fillers. Give one clear reason, then a specific example or comparison. Use appropriate vocabulary like 'affordable' and 'mode of transport.'
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient mode of transport. For instance, many people use bicycles to commute short distances in crowded cities, especially where public transport is limited.
× When I was a child, my parents didn't bought bike for me because we were, uh, so many siblings.
✓ When I was a child, my parents didn't buy a bike for me because we had so many siblings.
The auxiliary 'did' is used with the base form of the verb, so 'bought' should be 'buy'. Also add the article 'a' before 'bike' and use 'had' to indicate possession of many siblings; 'we were so many siblings' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: use 'didn't' + base verb and 'we had so many siblings'.
× So, uh, we used to, uh, share things.
✓ So, we used to share things.
No grammatical error in verb form here, but remove filler words for clarity. 'Used to' is correctly followed by the base verb 'share'. Keep sentences concise.
× I used to, uh, ride bike of my, my brother.
✓ I used to ride my brother's bike.
In English, possession of an object is expressed with the possessive form ('my brother's bike') rather than 'bike of my brother'. Also include the possessive determiner 'my' before 'brother' if rephrasing as 'my brother's'.
× That's.
✓ That's all.
'That's' (that is) needs a complement to complete the idea. Native speakers often finish with 'That's all.' or 'That's it.' to indicate completion. Suggestion: use 'That's all.' to sound natural.
× Yeah, bikes are really common in my country, uh, because it's a basic need, uh, which people prefer from, uh, to go from one area to another area.
✓ Yeah, bikes are really common in my country because they're a basic means of transport that people prefer to go from one area to another.
Use plural 'they're' to agree with plural 'bikes'. 'Basic need' is okay but 'basic means of transport' is more natural. Remove unnecessary 'from' and redundant phrasing 'from one area to another area' -> 'from one area to another'. Also replace awkward relative clause 'which people prefer from to go' with 'that people prefer to'.
× And it's very cheap, that's why.
✓ And they're very cheap; that's why.
Referring back to 'bikes' (plural) requires plural pronoun 'they' and plural adjective agreement. Also combine sentences properly: 'They're very cheap; that's why (they are popular).' Suggestion: match pronoun number to its noun and connect cause-and-effect clearly.
