Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Tense and repetition errors reduce clarity. Use past tense consistently, avoid repeating phrases, and make a clear topic sentence plus one or two specific details. Keep it natural and concise (max 3–4 short sentences).
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it to school and to my tuition classes almost every day, which saved time and gave me some exercise.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Reduce filler words (uh), improve sentence fluency, and use more precise vocabulary. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific reasons with linking words (for example, because/of, therefore). Keep sentences concise and natural.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Because they are inexpensive to buy and run, many people choose them for daily commuting, so bikes remain one of the most common modes of transport.
× Yes, I do have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The sentence mixes present tense 'do have' with past time reference 'when I was a child'. Use past tense 'had' to match the past time frame. Suggestion: keep tense consistent by using past simple for past events (I had).
× Moreover, I used to I used to use it while going for my school or my tuition classes.
✓ Moreover, I used to use it to go to my school and my tuition classes.
The phrase repeats 'I used to' and uses awkward preposition 'while going for'. Remove the duplicate, use 'used to' + base verb 'use', and use 'to go to' for destination. Also use 'and' instead of 'or' if both were attended. Suggestion: avoid repetition and use correct verb pattern 'used to + base verb', and 'go to' for places.
× Looking at the current economic conditions, uh, the most budget friendly option present is bike and hence it's one of the most used transport vehicle in my country.
✓ Looking at the current economic conditions, the most budget-friendly option available is the bike, and hence it's one of the most used means of transport in my country.
Multiple issues: missing hyphen in 'budget-friendly' (compound adjective), missing article 'the' before 'bike', incorrect word 'present' for 'available', and 'transport vehicle' is unnatural—use 'means of transport'. Also use articles 'the' and plural/singular consistency 'means of transport' or 'transport vehicles'. Suggestions: use hyphen for compound adjectives, include definite article for a specific noun ('the bike'), replace 'present' with 'available', and use natural collocation 'means of transport'.
× Uh, yes, I do think that uh, bikes are very popular in my country.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country.
This sentence is mostly correct grammatically but contains filler interjections 'uh' and unnecessary emphasis 'do' which are fine in spoken language but not needed in corrected written form. Suggestion: remove fillers and extra 'do' for a cleaner sentence: 'I think' is sufficient.
