Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Be clear, grammatically correct and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence in past tense, then give one or two brief supporting details. Use correct verb forms (e.g., "didn't have"), correct time expressions ("when I was a child"), and avoid extra words. Try linking a reason or brief memory using a linking word (e.g., "because", "so").
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I grew up in a small apartment and my parents thought it was unsafe for me to ride near busy streets, so I usually played in the courtyard instead.

Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Improve fluency and accuracy by removing fillers and using clearer cause-and-effect linking. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., "fuel prices" not "federal prices") and maintain subject-verb agreement. Give one or two specific reasons or an example to support your view and link ideas with words like "because" or "therefore".
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. Recently, as fuel prices have risen, more people are choosing electric or solar-powered bikes instead of petrol ones, for example many commuters now use e-bikes to save money.
× No, I have no bike when I was and the early age.
✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was young.
The sentence mixes present tense 'have' with past time reference 'when I was' causing tense inconsistency. Use past simple 'did not have' for possession in the past. Also 'the early age' is unnatural; use 'young' or 'a young age'. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time reference and use natural phrasing for age.
× Yes, bikes are very popular in our country and nowadays, uh, the federal prices are high.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in our country, and nowadays fuel prices are high.
The original uses 'federal prices' which is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'fuel prices'. 'Are' with 'nowadays' is correct (present simple), but fix vocabulary and punctuation. Suggestion: replace 'federal' with 'fuel' and connect clauses with a comma and 'and'.
× That's why the people use now a solar bike instead of uh, petrol bikes.
✓ That's why people now use solar bikes instead of petrol bikes.
Word order is awkward: adverb 'now' should be placed before the main verb or after auxiliary. 'The people' is usually just 'people' unless referring to a specific group. Also 'a solar bike' vs plural 'bikes' should agree with context; original talks generally, so use plural 'solar bikes'. Suggestion: put 'now' before 'use', remove 'the', and make noun number consistent.
