Yes I did. If I remember correctly when I was 5 my parent gave me an old bike. At that time it's too tall so I struggled to ride it, but after a few days of practice I could write it by myself.

Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Điểm mạnh: trả lời trực tiếp, có câu chủ đề và cung cấp chi tiết cá nhân. Điểm cần cải thiện: ngữ pháp (sai số ít/ số nhiều: parent → parents), thì và động từ (it's → it was; write → ride), trật tự từ và chia câu để tự nhiên hơn. Nên dùng liên từ phù hợp (for, but, after) và giữ độ dài câu hợp lý (không quá 5 câu). Cụ thể: sửa lỗi động từ, chia lại câu để mạch lạc hơn và thêm một chi tiết ngắn về cảm xúc hoặc kết quả để phong phú câu trả lời.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. When I was five my parents gave me an old bicycle. It was too tall at first, so I struggled to ride it, but after a few days of practice I could ride it by myself and I felt very proud.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 66.0Gợi ý: Điểm mạnh: trả lời rõ ràng và nêu lý do. Điểm cần cải thiện: ngữ pháp và từ vựng (ate → aged; ride bike → ride bikes), cấu trúc câu thiếu liên kết mượt mà. Nên dùng cụm từ chính xác để mô tả độ tuổi (children aged 6 to 15) và chỉnh lại số lượng/danh từ (many bike stores → many bicycle shops). Thêm một ví dụ ngắn hoặc so sánh sẽ làm câu trả lời cụ thể hơn.
Ví dụ: Yes, I do. Bicycles are quite popular in my country because there are many bicycle shops on the streets, and children aged 6 to 15 often ride bikes to school. For example, in my neighborhood almost every child cycles to class every morning.
× If I remember correctly when I was 5 my parent gave me an old bike.
✓ If I remember correctly, when I was 5 my parents gave me an old bike.
'Parent' should be plural 'parents' if referring to both mother and father. Use a comma after the introductory clause 'If I remember correctly'. Suggestion: use 'parents' when both caregivers are meant; add commas to separate clauses.
× At that time it's too tall so I struggled to ride it, but after a few days of practice I could write it by myself.
✓ At that time it was too tall so I struggled to ride it, but after a few days of practice I could ride it by myself.
The sentence refers to past time 'At that time', so use past tense 'was' instead of 'it's'. Also 'write' is a typo for 'ride'. Suggestion: maintain consistent past tense for past events and check for typos.
× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because I often see so many bike stores on the streets and the children ate 6 to 15 years old ride bike to school.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because I often see so many bike stores on the streets and children aged 6 to 15 ride bikes to school.
Use 'children aged 6 to 15' rather than 'the children ate 6 to 15 years old'. 'Ride bike' should be plural 'ride bikes'. Also remove unnecessary article 'the' before 'children'. Suggestion: use 'aged' to express age ranges and ensure noun plurals match ('bikes').
