Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Старайтесь давать чёткое и связное высказывание: начните с простой темы (topic sentence), затем добавьте 1–2 конкретных поддерживающих детали.

Максимальная длина — до 5 предложений.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was pink and my parents gave it to me for my seventh birthday. I rode it every day to visit my friends and to go to the nearby park. It was my favourite way to play and explore the neighbourhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 56.0Gợi ý: Давайте более чёткую и логичную структуру: начните с прямого ответа, затем объясните причину с помощью связующих слов (for example, because, so) и приведите конкретный пример. Избегайте грамматических ошибок (например, «traffic is», «bicycles», «for short commutes») и повторов. Старайтесь завершать мысль, не оставляя фрагментов.
Ví dụ: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially in big cities. Because traffic congestion and parking are serious problems, many people choose bikes for short commutes. For example, office workers often cycle to the nearest subway station or shops to save time and avoid parking fees.
× Yes, I have a bike.
✓ Yes, I had a bike.
The examiner asked about the past (when you were a child), so the verb should be in the past tense. Use 'had' to match the past time frame: 'I had a bike.' Suggestion: Pay attention to time expressions (when I was a child) and choose past tense verbs accordingly.
× When I was a child it was right, right? Umm pink.
✓ When I was a child it was pink, right?
The original repeats 'right' and places 'right' before the adjective awkwardly. The correct structure places the adjective before 'right' as a tag question: 'it was pink, right?'. Suggestion: Keep adjective next to the noun and use a single tag question at the end.
× I received it for my 7th birthday.
✓ I received it for my seventh birthday.
Numerals in spoken/written English are often written out in text. The tense 'received' is correct past tense for this past event. No grammatical change needed except style: write 'seventh'. Suggestion: Use words for small ordinal numbers in formal writing.
× Umm, I used it every day, uh, to, to write to friends houses and to the nearby park.
✓ I used it every day to ride to my friends' houses and to the nearby park.
Multiple issues: the verb should be 'ride' (use correct verb for bicycles), 'friends' houses' needs possessive apostrophe, and 'to the nearby park' is fine. The verb tense 'used' is correct past tense for a habitual past action. Suggestion: Use 'ride' with bicycles and mark plural possessive with apostrophe: 'friends' houses'.
× Yes, bikes quite are popular in my country, especially in cities where traffic are.
✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities where there is heavy traffic.
Word order: the adverb 'quite' should come after the verb 'are' ('are quite popular'). 'Traffic are' is ungrammatical because 'traffic' is an uncountable singular noun, so use 'there is traffic' or 'there is heavy traffic'. Suggestion: Place adverbs after the verb 'to be' and treat 'traffic' as singular/uncountable: 'there is traffic' or 'heavy traffic'.
× Traffic congestions and parking are major issues.
✓ Traffic congestion and parking are major issues.
Use the uncountable noun 'traffic congestion' rather than plural 'congestions'. The plural 'parking' is acceptable as a noun here, but 'parking' combined with 'are' is correct because there are two issues. Suggestion: Use 'traffic congestion' as an uncountable noun for the concept.
× Many people choose bicycle bicycles because for short communities because they.
✓ Many people choose bicycles for short trips because they are faster and easier to park.
Problems fixed: use plural 'bicycles', remove extra words 'because for' and 'communities' (wrong word), and complete the sentence with a reason. 'Short trips' is the correct collocation. Suggestion: Use 'choose bicycles for short trips because...' and provide a clear reason to complete the sentence.
