Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Correct the tense and make the response more natural and slightly longer (1–3 sentences). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one brief supporting detail. Use past tense for childhood events and avoid redundancy.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about eight, and I rode it to visit friends in my neighborhood every weekend.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Use correct grammar, clearer sentence structure and linking words. Begin with a direct statement, then add one or two specific supporting details using present tense for general facts. Fix verb forms and word order, and avoid vague phrases like “my parking.”
Ví dụ: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country. For example, I see many commuters riding bikes to work in the mornings, and there are bike lanes and public bike-sharing schemes in several cities.
× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The sentence mixes present tense 'have' with past time 'when I was a child.' Use past tense 'had' to match the past time reference. Suggestion: use past tense for actions or states that occurred in the past (e.g., 'I had a bike').
× I usually seen bikes in my parking, my house.
✓ I usually see bikes in my parking area and around my house.
The verb 'seen' is the past participle and cannot be used without an auxiliary; the sentence describes a habitual present action, so use the simple present 'see.' Also 'parking' is unclear; use 'parking area' and connect locations with 'and' for clarity. Suggestion: for habitual actions use simple present verbs (I usually see...).
× I usually seen bikes in my parking, my house.
✓ I usually see bikes in my parking area and around my house.
There is an article/word choice issue with 'my parking' which is not natural; adding 'area' makes it countable and natural. Also add preposition 'around' for 'my house' to indicate location. Suggestion: use natural noun phrases with articles or qualifiers (my parking area, around my house).
× I also have a bike, so yes.
✓ I also have a bike, so yes.
This sentence is grammatically correct; it uses present tense appropriately to state a current possession. No change needed.
