Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 34.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar, expand slightly with a topic sentence and a brief reason or consequence. Use correct tense and avoid abrupt answers. Keep it natural and within 2–4 sentences. For example, start with a direct answer, then add a short explanation and one detail about how that affected you.
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My family couldn't afford one, so I usually walked to school or took public transport. As a result, I didn't learn to ride until I was a teenager.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Make the sentence grammatically correct, use plural forms and add a brief reason or contrast with linking words. Avoid filler sounds like 'umm'. Provide a clear opinion with one or two supporting details to make the answer coherent and natural.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bicycles are fairly popular in some areas, but not everyone uses them. In big cities, many people prefer cars or motorbikes because they are faster, whereas bicycles are more common in smaller towns and among students who want to save money.
× No, because we don't have money.
✓ No, because we didn't have any money.
The question asks about the past ('when you were a child'), so the response should use past tense. 'don't have' is present tense; change to 'didn't have'. Also 'money' in this context is non-count and referring to an insufficient amount, so add 'any' to convey 'no money'. Suggestion: match the tense to the time frame and use 'any' with negative statements about uncountable nouns.
× Yes, but few a few people umm uses it.
✓ Yes, but only a few people use them.
This sentence has several issues: 'few a few' is incorrect—use either 'few' or 'a few'; the intended meaning is probably 'only a few people', so add 'only'. 'uses' is third person singular but the subject 'people' is plural, so use 'use' (subject-verb agreement). Also 'it' is awkward for bikes (plural general noun); use 'them' or rephrase as 'ride bikes' or 'use bikes'. Remove filler 'umm'. Suggestion: say 'Yes, but only a few people use them' or 'Yes, but only a few people ride bikes' to be clear and grammatically correct.
