Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion and support it with specific reasons and examples. Use linking words (for example, because, so) to make the answer coherent. Correct word order and avoid filler sounds. Keep it to two or three concise sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, families often ride bikes in parks on weekends, and some people prefer cycling to avoid traffic and save money on transport.
× 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 the past time marker 'when I was a child'. Use past tense 'had' to match the past context. Suggestion: use past simple for actions or states that occurred in the past (I had).
× Yes, I think about such a popular in my country because sometimes people use usually, uh, go outside and play and just uh, walk or small bike.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because people often go outside to play, walk, or ride small bikes.
Multiple issues: awkward phrase 'think about such a popular' and wrong word order; redundant/misplaced adverbs 'use usually'; incorrect verb forms and missing prepositions. The corrected sentence uses a clear subject 'bikes', the verb 'are' for present general statement, appropriate adverb 'often', correct infinitive 'to play', and parallel list 'walk, or ride small bikes'. Suggestion: state the subject clearly, use proper collocations (popular + noun), place adverbs before main verbs or after auxiliary verbs, and keep parallel structure in lists.
