Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Be clear, grammatically correct and concise. Start with a simple topic sentence in past tense (e.g., “Yes, I did”), then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and filler words. Also correct verb tense and use natural collocations (e.g., “I loved riding my bike”).
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I loved riding my red bike around my neighborhood when I was a child because it gave me freedom and helped me visit my friends easily. For example, I often rode to the park after school and practiced tricks on weekends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence and then support it with specific facts or reasons using linking words. Correct grammar (use plural/singular forms and articles) and improve coherence by removing redundancy. Mention concrete examples or statistics if possible.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in Japan. For instance, many cities have dedicated bike lanes and convenient parking, so a lot of people use bicycles for short trips and commuting instead of driving. As a result, cycling is an affordable and efficient way to get around.
× Yes, I have a bike I literally like liked. Bicycle, Bicycle bicycling.
✓ Yes, I had a bike. I literally liked it. I enjoyed bicycling.
Issues: subject tense mismatch and incorrect verb forms. The question asks about childhood (past), so use past tense 'had' not 'have' (Grammar Problem Type ID:5 Past tense issue). The phrase 'I literally like liked' mixes present and past and duplicates verbs; use one past verb 'liked' (ID:6 Present tense issue and ID:5 Past tense issue). 'Bicycle, Bicycle bicycling' is fragmented and unclear—use 'I enjoyed bicycling' to express the activity (ID:26 Sentence structure errors). Suggestion: Match tense to time reference, avoid repeating words, and use clear verb phrases for activities (use past tense 'liked' and 'enjoyed bicycling').
× Yes, I think so. In Japan, my country, they are there are many bicycle and transportation, so many people using them instead of car.
✓ Yes, I think so. In Japan, my country, there are many bicycles and good public transportation, so many people use them instead of cars.
Multiple issues: 'they are there are' is redundant and incorrect; use 'there are' to introduce existence (Grammar Problem Type ID:3 There be issue). 'many bicycle' uses singular noun where plural is required—use 'many bicycles' (ID:1 Singular and plural issue). 'transportation' as a general uncountable noun is okay, but 'good public transportation' is clearer; 'so many people using them' lacks a finite verb—use 'so many people use them' (ID:6 Present tense issue / ID:23 Sentence without a verb). 'instead of car' needs plural 'cars' or 'a car'—use 'cars' to match 'people' (ID:1 Singular and plural issue). Also pronoun reference 'them' correctly refers to 'bicycles and public transportation'. Suggestion: Use 'there are' for existence, pluralize countable nouns, include proper verbs ('use'), and make noun phrases clear.
