Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Use correct tense and clearer phrasing, keep answer concise (max 5 sentences), give a short topic sentence then one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct common word errors (e.g., 'haven't had' → 'didn't have', 'writing'→'riding'). Mention a brief reason and a short result or example.
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I was afraid of riding because I had poor balance, so I often felt like I would fall. As a result, my parents never bought me one, and I learned to get around on foot or by bus.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Answer directly, correct grammar, and give specific reasons with linking words. Replace unclear phrases and wrong words (e.g., 'girlfriend', 'washing hours', 'mobile') with accurate terms like 'traffic congestion', 'rush hour', and 'motorbikes'. Provide one concise example or comparison.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes and motorbikes are very popular in my country. Because there is heavy traffic congestion during rush hour, many people prefer bicycles or motorbikes as they are faster and cheaper than private cars.
× No, I haven't had a bike when I was a child because I was afraid of writing a bike and I don't have a good sense of balance.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I was afraid of riding a bike and I didn't have a good sense of balance.
The sentence mixes present perfect ('haven't had') with a past time expression ('when I was a child'); past simple ('didn't have') is required. 'Writing a bike' is a typo; the correct verb is 'riding'. Also maintain past tense consistently ('didn't have a good sense of balance'). Suggestion: use past simple for completed past situations and check verbs for typos.
× So that's when I realized I always feel like I'm going to fall down.
✓ So that's when I realized I always felt like I was going to fall down.
The reporting verb 'realized' is past, so the following clause should use backshift to past tense: 'always felt' and 'was going to fall down'. Using present tense 'feel' and 'I'm' creates a tense inconsistency. Suggestion: backshift present-tense clauses after past reporting verbs.
× Yes, that is quite popular in my country because of it.
✓ Yes, they are quite popular in my country because of that.
The subject 'bikes' is plural, so use plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'are'. 'That is' is vague; 'because of that' or a clearer reason should be used. Suggestion: match subject number and use appropriate demonstrative pronoun.
× Girlfriend is a load of car and private cars in the washing hours so that people prefer to ride a bike or mobile.
✓ There are a lot of cars and private vehicles during rush hour, so people prefer to ride bicycles or use motorcycles.
Original sentence has multiple issues: wrong noun 'Girlfriend' instead of 'There are' or 'There is', incorrect phrase 'a load of car' instead of 'a lot of cars', wrong time phrase 'washing hours' should be 'rush hour' or 'rush hours', and 'mobile' is incorrect for 'motorcycle' or 'moped'. Also sentence needs 'so' to link cause and effect. Suggestion: restructure the sentence, use 'there are' for existence, correct nouns and time expressions, and choose correct vehicle terms.
