Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 80.0Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and directly answers the question, which is good. To improve, add one brief supporting detail to make the response more natural and informative (e.g., why you didn't have one or what you used instead). Keep it concise (no more than 3–4 short sentences) and use a linking word if you provide an extra clause.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or used public transport because my family lived in a busy city and there wasn’t much space to store bikes.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: The idea is understandable, but the response needs clearer grammar, more precise vocabulary, and a supporting detail. Avoid fillers like “Umm.” Use a linking word to connect your reason and give a specific example or comparison (for instance, mention urban traffic, cost, or environmental reasons). Keep to 2–3 sentences and correct verb forms.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. For example, many people cycle to work in crowded cities to avoid traffic and save money on fuel.
× Umm yes, bikes are popular for my country because everyone using to go with bike.
✓ Umm yes, bikes are popular in my country because everyone used to go by bike.
The original sentence has multiple problems matching the 'Third person singular issue' and others. 'Everyone using to go' is incorrect: 'everyone' is singular and requires a verb form like 'uses' or with 'used to' for past habit. The intended meaning seems to be a past habit, so 'used to go' is appropriate. Also 'using' is incorrect here because after 'everyone' you need a finite verb. Use 'by bike' rather than 'with bike' to express the means of transportation. Suggestion: choose 'uses' for general present (everyone uses bikes to get around) or 'used to' for past habit, and use 'by bike' for the prepositional phrase. Note: This correction addresses the third person singular verb agreement and incorrect verb form; if the meaning is present habit, use 'everyone uses bikes to get around'.
× It is easy vehicle to carry.
✓ It is an easy vehicle to carry.
The phrase lacks the article 'an' before 'easy vehicle'. This is an article error (use 'an' before a vowel sound). Also 'to carry' is awkward for a vehicle; more natural is 'to carry' if referring to portability, but for transport ability use 'to ride' or 'to use'. The corrected minimal change adds the article. Better alternatives: 'It is an easy vehicle to use' or 'It is easy to ride.'
