Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Be concise and directly answer the question with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear opinion sentence, then give specific reasons with coherent linking words. Avoid fillers and awkward phrasing like "too popular" here; say "very popular" or "widely used." Be specific about who uses bikes and for what, and limit to 2–3 concise sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short trips to the supermarket or to commute to work and school. For example, students and office workers often ride bikes because they are cheap and convenient in busy urban areas.
× Yes, I had AI, had a bike when I was a child and I was so glad when my parents spoke to me.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I was very glad when my parents bought it for me.
The original sentence contains an incorrect pronoun/word 'AI' likely meant to be 'a' or 'a bike'; this is a lexical error. Also 'spoke to me' is incorrect in this context because parents typically 'buy' a bike for a child; 'spoke to me' changes the meaning. The sentence needs a clear object for 'had' and a correct verb for how the child received the bike. Suggestion: use 'bought it for me' to express receiving the bike, and add a comma before the conjunction for clarity. Grammar problem type ID: 12
× Yes, it's too popular because we use it when we go to the, for example, uh, supermarket or go to the job or you go to the school.
✓ Yes, it's very popular because we use bikes when we go to the supermarket, to work, or to school.
There are several issues: 'it's too popular' is unnatural; 'too' implies excessive—'very' or 'quite' is better. The sentence mixes pronouns and forms ('we use it' then 'you go'); maintain consistent pronoun 'we'. 'go to the job' and 'go to the school' are incorrect collocations; use 'go to work' and 'go to school' without 'the'. Also pluralize 'bikes' if referring generally. Suggestions: use consistent pronouns, correct collocations, and choose appropriate adverb ('very' instead of 'too'). Grammar problem type ID:2
× So most of the people here around us use it.
✓ So most of the people around here use them / So most people here use bikes.
The sentence has number and pronoun reference issues. 'Most of the people here around us' is awkward; 'around us' or 'around here' is sufficient. 'Use it' refers back to 'bikes' which is plural, so the pronoun should be 'them' or restate 'use bikes'. Also 'most of the people' can be simplified to 'most people'. Suggestion: say 'Most people here use bikes' or 'Most people around here use them.' Grammar problem type ID:1
