Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 56.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid hesitations and incorrect verb forms. For example, use past simple for childhood facts and present simple or present perfect for current situations. Mention one specific memory and one reason why you no longer ride.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My mother taught me to ride when I was six, and I used to cycle to the park every weekend. However, I no longer have that bike, so I rarely cycle with friends now.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion then add two specific reasons using linking words. Correct vocabulary: say "electric bikes" or "e-bikes" and use appropriate phrases like "convenient for short trips". Avoid repetition and be precise about who uses them and why.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. For one thing, many people use electric bikes, which can be unlocked via an app, making them very convenient for short trips. Also, they are a cheap and fast alternative for students and commuters who don't own a car.
× Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
This sentence is correct past tense; no change needed.
× Nowadays I don't have it, but I like to, uh, riding on it, spend a lot of time by riding a bike my mom taught me.
✓ Nowadays I don't have it, but I like riding it; I spent a lot of time riding a bike when my mom taught me.
The verb 'like' should be followed by the -ing form (gerund) without 'to': 'like riding'. The original mixes infinitive and gerund incorrectly ('like to, uh, riding'). Also 'spend a lot of time by riding a bike my mom taught me' is awkward and tense-inconsistent. Use past tense 'spent' for the period when the mother taught the student, and restructure to 'riding a bike when my mom taught me' to make the time relation clear. Suggestion: separate ideas into two clauses and match tense to meaning.
× But nowadays I just can't take my process bike and ride it with my friends.
✓ But nowadays I can't take my old bike and ride it with my friends.
The phrase 'process bike' is unclear and likely incorrect word choice. Replace with 'old bike' or another appropriate noun. 'Just can't take' is acceptable, but removing 'just' can improve clarity. Ensure noun choice matches intended meaning.
× Yes, I think that bikes are popular in my country because we have some, we have electricity bikes which can work by app.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because we have some electric bikes that can be operated by an app.
Use 'electric bikes' (adjective noun) not 'electricity bikes'. 'Which can work by app' is unidiomatic; use 'that can be operated by an app' or 'which can be controlled by an app'. Keep present tense 'are popular' and 'we have' consistent.
× It was made for people who don't don't have a car and want to go for a walk or university fast.
✓ They are made for people who don't have a car and want to get to work or university quickly.
Subject agreement: 'It was made' should match plural 'electric bikes' so use 'They are made'. Remove duplicated 'don't'. 'Go for a walk or university fast' is incorrect collocation and adverb placement. Use 'get to work or university quickly' or 'travel to university quickly'. Use adverb 'quickly' after the verb for clarity.
