Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Be more concise, correct tense and word choice, remove fillers, and add specific details. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, follow with 1–2 supporting details using linking words, and avoid repetition. Also correct vocabulary (e.g. "bike" or "bicycle") and locations (if you mean 'to the music school', state it clearly).
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. When I was a child I usually rode my bicycle to school and to after-school classes. For example, I often cycled five minutes to my English class and sometimes to a nearby music school, which saved time and kept me active.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Answer directly, avoid fillers, use clearer categories and linking words, and give a specific reason or example. Use present simple for general facts and choose precise vocabulary (e.g. "commuters", "delivery workers"). Keep to 2–3 sentences maximum.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because many commuters and delivery workers use them for short trips. For instance, students and office workers often cycle to school or work to avoid traffic and save money.
× I usually go to UMM, go to the clown school or English school by using bicycle.
✓ I usually go to UMM, the clown school, or English school by bicycle.
The student used 'by using bicycle', which is an awkward and incorrect prepositional phrase. This is an incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11) and also a present tense phrasing that should be simple present. Replace with the correct preposition 'by' plus the noun 'bicycle' without 'using' and add commas for clarity. Also include the definite article 'the' where needed for 'the clown school'. Suggestion: 'I usually go to UMM, the clown school, or English school by bicycle.'
× Yes, I did UMM when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child.
The original sentence 'Yes, I did UMM when I was a child.' is ungrammatical and confuses the response. The question asks about having a bike in the past, so the correct short answer is 'Yes, I did.' If elaborating, use the past tense verb 'had' to match the time frame. This fixes a sentence structure error (ID 26) and ensures correct past tense usage (ID 5). Suggestion: Answer 'Yes, I did.' or 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.'
× so many people like workers, uh, luggage workers and students go to the office, offices and schools by cycling.
✓ so many people, such as workers, luggage porters, and students, go to offices and schools by bicycle.
Errors include awkward listing, incorrect noun choice 'luggage workers' (word choice), inconsistent article use 'the office, offices', and wrong phrase 'by cycling' which is less natural than 'by bicycle'. This involves singular/plural and article issues (IDs 1 and 22), incorrect word choice, and preposition use (ID 11). Rephrase using 'such as' to introduce examples, use 'luggage porters' (or 'baggage handlers') for clarity, use plural 'offices', and 'by bicycle' as the common expression. Suggestion: 'so many people, such as workers, luggage porters, and students, go to offices and schools by bicycle.'
× go to the clown school or English school by using bicycle.
✓ go to the clown school or English school by bicycle.
The phrase 'by using bicycle' incorrectly uses 'using' where the standard expression is 'by' plus the transport noun. This is an incorrect verb + -ing form usage (ID 8) and incorrect preposition use (ID 11). Remove 'using' to make the phrase natural: 'by bicycle.' Suggestion: Use 'by bicycle' or 'on a bicycle.'
