Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 75.0Gợi ý: Your answer is direct and natural but very short and repetitive. To improve, start with a clear topic sentence and add one or two specific supporting details (e.g., when you got it, who gave it to you, or a memorable experience). Use a linking word to connect ideas and avoid repeating words exactly as the question.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did — I got my first bike when I was about seven, a bright red one my parents bought me. It became my main way of getting to friends’ houses and I remember practicing for hours until I could ride without help.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Good basic idea and relevance, but the sentence is a little awkward and vague. Improve by using more natural phrasing, a linking word, and one or two specific reasons or examples (e.g., commuting, cost, environment, short distances). Keep it concise and avoid redundant words like “daily day routine works.”
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they’re cheap and convenient for short trips. For example, many people use bicycles to commute to work or to run errands in crowded city areas, and they’re also seen as an eco-friendly option.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in our country because they help us with our daily routines and for traveling around.
Errors: redundant phrasing 'daily day routine works' and weak preposition use. 'Daily routines' is the correct noun phrase; use 'help someone with something' rather than 'help someone in something'. Also replace 'as' with 'because' for clarity. Suggestion: Simplify to 'help us with our daily routines and for traveling around' or even better 'help us with daily tasks and traveling around.'
