Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Correct grammar and word choice, use linking words, and provide specific supporting details. Begin with a clear opinion, then add concise reasons and an example or brief comparison.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in India. They are affordable and convenient for short trips, so many families own at least one bike; for example, students often use bikes to commute to school because public transport can be slow or crowded.
× No, I don't have a bike when I was child because when I was a child and I usually travel with my best transportation, I do not like a motorcycle bike.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I usually traveled using my preferred form of transport; I did not like motorcycles.
The original mixes present tense with past time expressions ('don't have' with 'when I was'). Use past tense consistently for past events: 'didn't have' and 'traveled'. 'When I was child' misses the article 'a child'. 'My best transportation' is unnatural; use 'my preferred form of transport' or 'my preferred transportation'. Also use plural 'motorcycles' or singular 'a motorcycle' consistently. Suggestion: maintain past tense for all verbs referring to childhood and use natural collocations for transport.
× IS bikes are really popular in our country, especially in India because most of the children are travelling through bikes in cities and in villages because it is easy to affordable and we can travel to one place to another in a short period of time.
✓ Yes, bikes are really popular in our country, especially in India, because many children travel by bike in cities and villages since they are affordable and allow us to go from one place to another quickly.
The sentence has several problems: 'IS bikes' is incorrect — use 'Yes' or remove 'IS'. 'Most of the children are travelling through bikes' is awkward and uses progressive unnecessarily; use simple present 'many children travel by bike' for general facts. 'Through bikes' is wrong preposition; use 'by bike'. 'It is easy to affordable' mixes adjectives incorrectly; use 'they are affordable'. 'We can travel to one place to another' is wrong preposition and wording; use 'go from one place to another' or 'travel quickly'. Correct subject-verb agreement and use proper prepositions and adjective forms.
