Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Remove the repeated word and give a specific reason or example to support your opinion. Begin with a direct statement, then add one or two supporting details using a linking word (for example, because, since, or especially). Keep it concise and natural.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in cities you often see dedicated bike lanes and many students ride bikes to school.
× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The sentence uses present tense verb 'have' but the time expression 'when I was a child' requires past tense. This is a tense consistency error categorized as a present tense issue. Suggestion: Use past tense 'had' to match the past time frame: 'I had a bike when I was a child.'
× Yes, bikes are popular here in in my country.
✓ Yes, bikes are popular here in my country.
The sentence contains a repeated prepositional phrase 'in in my country', which is a sentence structure/wording error. Remove the duplicate 'in' to correct the sentence. Also either 'here' or 'in my country' is sufficient; you can say 'Yes, bikes are popular here.' or 'Yes, bikes are popular in my country.'
