Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Expand your answer with a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words (e.g., “because,” “so,” “when”) to make your reply coherent and slightly longer (but no more than 5 sentences). Mention where you used it, who you rode with, or a short memory to add interest.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a red bicycle when I was about seven, and I rode it every weekend with my younger brother. Because our neighborhood was quiet, we used to practice riding and learn stunts together, which made those years very memorable.
