Ví dụ: I don't think bicycles are very popular right now. Due to rapid urbanization, most people prefer motorbikes or cars for convenience, especially during long commutes. For example, in my city many families own at least one motorbike, so cycling is mostly seen as a leisure activity rather than daily transport.
× It was a present for my present on my birthday.
✓ It was a present from my parents on my birthday.
The student used 'present for my present' which is incorrect word choice and likely a typo. The intended phrase is 'present from my parents'. Use 'from' to indicate the giver and 'parents' (plural) for mother and father. Suggestion: say 'It was a present from my parents on my birthday.'
× Uh, at the moment I don't think so, because nowadays with modern technology and modern society, people use motorbikes and, uh, the cars more often.
✓ Uh, at the moment I don't think so, because nowadays with modern technology and modern society, people use motorbikes and cars more often.
The phrase 'the cars' incorrectly uses the definite article 'the' before a general plural noun. When speaking about things in general, do not use 'the'. Also remove filler 'the' before 'cars'. Suggestion: say 'motorbikes and cars more often.'
