Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: คำตอบสั้นและตรงประเด็นแต่มีความไม่เป็นธรรมชาติและโครงสร้างภาษาไม่ลื่น เช่น 'bike is popular' ควรใช้ "bikes are popular" และให้รายละเอียดที่เฉพาะเจาะจง ครบ (สถานที่ กลุ่มคน เหตุผล) ใช้คำเชื่อมเพื่อเชื่อมเหตุผลกับตัวอย่าง

× I used to have a bike when I was five years old, but I don't know how to ride a bike because I was too scared back then, so I abandoned the bike.
✓ I used to have a bike when I was five years old, but I didn't know how to ride it because I was too scared back then, so I gave it away.
The sentence mixes past and present tense incorrectly. 'I used to have' requires past tense for related actions: 'didn't know' not 'don't know'. Also 'abandoned the bike' is unnatural; 'gave it away' or 'left it' fits better. Suggestions: keep past tense for events in childhood, use 'didn't' for negative past, replace 'abandoned' with a more natural verb like 'gave it away' or 'left it'. Ensure pronoun 'it' replaces repeated 'a bike'.
× From my perspective, yes, bike is popular in my country, although my local parks have people or athletes who ride a bike every day.
✓ From my perspective, yes, bikes are popular in my country, and in my local parks people and athletes ride bikes every day.
The noun 'bike' should be plural when speaking generally about popularity: 'bikes are popular'. Also article usage and phrasing were awkward. Suggestions: use plural 'bikes' and plural verbs 'are'; avoid unnecessary 'or' between 'people' and 'athletes' and use consistent plural nouns 'bikes' or the pronoun omitted when context clear.
