Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Your answer is unclear and grammatically incorrect. Give a direct topic sentence that answers the question, then briefly add one supporting detail. Keep it to 1–3 clear sentences, use past tense for childhood, and avoid filler sounds (uh). For example, say you did or did not have a bike and provide one reason or memory.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family couldn’t afford one at the time, so I usually walked to school or shared rides with neighbors.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Your response addresses the question but is repetitive and contains grammatical errors. Start with a clear opinion sentence (Yes/No + brief reason), then add one specific supporting detail using linking words (e.g., however, nowadays). Use correct tense and vocabulary (e.g., "in the past" instead of "old ages"). Limit to 2–3 sentences and avoid filler words.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are more popular now than in the past. Nowadays many people cycle for short journeys because there are more bike lanes and affordable bicycles, whereas in the past there were almost no designated bike roads.
× When I was a child, I have, uh, no back.
✓ When I was a child, I had, uh, no bike.
The sentence refers to a past time ('When I was a child'), so you must use a past tense verb. 'Have' (present) is incorrect; use 'had' (past). Also 'back' appears to be a typo for 'bike', so replace it to match meaning. Suggestion: use 'When I was a child, I had a bike' or if you mean you did not have one: 'When I was a child, I did not have a bike.' Grammar problem type ID: 5
× When we compare the old ages and uh, nowadays, yes, it's popular and everyone can use it, but uh, in old years and we have no bike ways and bike roads.
✓ When we compare the past and nowadays, yes, bikes are popular and everyone can use them, but in earlier years we had no bike lanes or bike roads.
Multiple issues: 'the old ages' is unnatural; use 'the past' or 'earlier years'. 'It's popular' uses singular subject 'it' for general plural 'bikes' — use plural 'bikes are popular' (singular/plural error). 'Everyone can use it' should be 'them' to match plural. 'In old years and we have no' mixes tenses and uses incorrect tense for past ('have' present) — use past 'we had'. 'Bike ways' is nonstandard; use 'bike lanes' or 'bike roads'. Suggestion: keep consistent past tense for earlier period and plural agreement: '...bikes are popular and everyone can use them, but in earlier years we had no bike lanes.' Grammar problem type ID: 1
