Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: Speak clearly and use correct tense and pronouns. Start with a direct topic sentence (e.g., “Yes, I did.”), then give one or two specific supporting details using correct past tense and linking words. Avoid repetition and filler sounds.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that I used to ride around my neighborhood every weekend. It was my favorite toy because it let me visit friends and explore parks, and I learned to ride it without training wheels when I was seven.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and give concrete reasons or examples. Use linking words (because, for example, so) and keep sentences short and grammatical. Replace fillers with clear phrases and provide specific evidence of popularity.
Ví dụ: Yes, I do. Bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in my city there are dedicated bike lanes and families often go cycling together on weekends.
× Yes, I I have a bike when you were a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The student mixes present tense 'have' with the past time reference 'when you were a child'. This is a tense error. Use past simple 'had' to match the past time frame and correct pronoun 'I' for the subject ('you' is incorrect here). Suggestion: use past simple for events in the past: 'I had a bike when I was a child.'
× Yes I do. I I have a bike uh uh, popular, JA uh, popular place with my family.
✓ Yes, I do. I often rode my bike to popular places with my family.
The original sentence is fragmented and contains repetition and filler sounds, causing sentence structure problems. It also uses present tense 'have' inconsistently and unclear phrase 'popular place with my family'. The examiner's question asks about popularity of bikes, so referring to habitual past actions fits: use 'often rode' or present habitual 'ride' depending on meaning. Suggestion: remove fillers, use clear verb phrase and correct tense: 'I often rode my bike to popular places with my family.'
