Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Сформулируйте более точную и связную причину, используйте подходящие связки (for example, because, so) и избегайте неопределённых фраз. Уточняйте, о каких возрастных группах идёт речь, и приводите конкретные примеры использования велосипеда. Следите за формами: «used to» означает привычку в прошлом, а не текущую тенденцию.
Ví dụ: Yes, I do. Bicycles are especially popular among middle-aged and older people because many use them for daily exercise and short trips. For example, in my city people often ride to the market or for morning exercise, so bikes are common on the streets.
× my old brother have had a bike
✓ my older brother had a bike
The noun phrase 'old brother' is unnatural; 'older brother' is correct. 'Have had' is incorrect here for simple past ownership—use 'had'. This fixes plural/singular confusion and tense. Suggestion: use 'older brother had' for clear past possession.
× It was big for me like I was so small and it was more taller
✓ It was big for me because I was very small and it was taller
'So small' is fine but 'more taller' is redundant: 'taller' already compares. Use 'because' instead of 'like' to show reason. Replace 'so' with 'very' for formality. Suggestion: use 'because I was very small and it was taller'.
× When I grow up like become like 10 a year or eight years old, I can I could use his
✓ When I grew up to about eight or ten years old, I could use his bike
Mixing present 'grow' with past context is wrong; use past 'grew'. 'Become like 10 a year or eight years old' is ungrammatical—use 'about eight or ten years old'. 'I can I could' duplicates modal verbs; choose past 'could' to match past narrative. Also add 'bike' for clarity. Suggestion: 'When I grew up to about eight or ten years old, I could use his bike.'
× especially around middle-aged and other people 'cause uh, when people get old in my country, they used to do more activity
✓ especially middle-aged and older people, because when people get older in my country they tend to do more activities
Use 'middle-aged and older people' rather than 'around middle-aged and other people'. 'Get old' is informal; 'get older' is better. 'Used to do' implies habitual past; use 'tend to do' for general present habitual behavior. 'Activity' should be plural: 'activities'. Suggestion: 'they tend to do more activities.'
× Yes, I do, especially around middle-aged and other people 'cause uh, when people get old in my country, they used to do more activity. So that's why I think yes.
✓ Yes, I do. Especially middle-aged and older people, because when people get older in my country they tend to do more activities. So I think bikes are popular.
Sentence fragments and filler words ('uh') should be removed. The response should answer the question directly: 'Yes, I do.' Replace 'So that's why I think yes' with 'So I think bikes are popular' for clarity. Use 'tend to' for habitual action. Suggestion: answer concisely and use proper modal/tense forms.
