Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Clarify tense and vocabulary, give a direct topic sentence, and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep answers natural and concise (max 5 sentences). For example, say when you had the bike, who gave it to you, and one reason or memory. Avoid incorrect words like “channel” and repeated phrases.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I received it as a gift from my cousin who lived in Thailand, and I used it to ride to school every day. Because my family couldn’t afford a new bike at the time, it was especially meaningful to me. I remember fixing the chain with my father on weekends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Provide a clear direct answer first (Yes/No and why), use correct vocabulary (e.g., ‘hot’ not ‘loud’), and include specific reasons with linking words. Keep sentences grammatical and concise; avoid vague phrases like ‘we have plenty of land so we have’.
Ví dụ: I don’t think bicycles are very popular in my country. Mainly, the climate is very hot, and people prefer motorbikes or cars because cities and towns are spread out. Also, rising incomes make motorbikes more affordable, so fewer people choose bikes for daily travel.
× Yes, I did have a bike when I am a channel.
✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child.
The sentence refers to a past time, so the verb should be in the past tense. 'Am' is present tense and 'channel' is likely a mispronunciation or typo for 'child'. Use 'was' with 'I' to indicate past time: 'I was a child.' Suggestion: replace 'am' with 'was' and correct 'channel' to 'child.'
× When I was a channel, I got it from my cousin from Thailand.
✓ When I was a child, I got it from my cousin in Thailand.
Maintain past tense 'was' for a past time reference ('child' not 'channel'). Use the preposition 'in' for countries: say 'cousin in Thailand' rather than 'from Thailand' when indicating where the cousin lives or comes from. Also correct 'channel' to 'child.'
× Back to that day, my family wasn't that rich, so I got it from my cousin.
✓ At that time my family wasn't very rich, so I received the bike from my cousin.
'Back to that day' is unnatural; use 'At that time' for past reference. 'Wasn't that rich' is colloquial; 'wasn't very rich' is clearer. Use 'received the bike' or 'got the bike' — keeping 'it' is acceptable but specifying 'the bike' improves clarity. Maintain past tense throughout.
× Recently I can say it's not because due to the weather of loud is really hot and people mostly be able to buy motorbike or car because we have plenty of land so we have.
✓ Recently I would say bikes are not very popular because the weather here is very hot and most people can afford to buy motorbikes or cars since we have plenty of land.
Multiple issues: tense and modality ('can say' -> 'would say' is more natural for opinion), incorrect phrase 'because due to' (redundant; use 'because' or 'due to'), wrong noun 'loud' likely meant 'here' or omitted — corrected to 'here', and word order problems. Use present simple 'are' for general statement. 'People mostly be able to buy' is ungrammatical; use 'most people can afford to buy'. Combine causes coherently: 'because the weather here is very hot and most people can afford motorbikes or cars since we have plenty of land.'
