Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Говорите более связно и точно: избегайте пауз «uh/umm», используйте правильные времена и согласование слов, исправьте неверные формы (например, «wear» → «rode»), и давайте одну-две конкретные детали. Также уменьшите количество предложений с ошибками и держите ответ в пределах 3–4 предложений.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had my own bike when I was a child. It was pink and I rode it every day around the neighborhood. I enjoyed cycling with my friends until my mother later sold it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Говорите более структурированно и используйте связки: начните с прямого утверждения, затем приведите 1–2 конкретные причины с примерами. Уберите повторяющиеся «uh» и обобщения вроде «all of the people», замените на точные выражения и корректную грамматику.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people use them to enjoy the beautiful scenery, especially in rural areas, and cycling is also a cheap and healthy way to travel.
× I had, uh, my own bike when I was a child.
✓ I had my own bike when I was a child.
The sentence mixes extra filler pauses but the main verb is correctly in the past tense. Remove unnecessary commas and fillers to improve fluency. Suggestion: say 'I had my own bike when I was a child.' to be clear and grammatically correct.
× It was pink.
✓ It was pink.
This sentence is grammatically correct. No adjective/adverb error. Keep as is.
× I wear like, umm, cycling.
✓ I used to enjoy cycling.
The student used present tense verb 'wear' incorrectly with 'cycling'. To express a habitual past activity use 'used to' plus base verb or use past continuous. Here 'used to enjoy cycling' correctly expresses past habit. Suggestion: replace 'I wear like cycling' with 'I used to enjoy cycling' or 'I used to ride my bike'.
× But now my mother sold them to other people.
✓ But my mother sold it to other people.
The time adverb 'now' indicates present, so 'now' conflicts with past simple 'sold'. If the sale already happened, remove 'now' or change tense. Also pronoun agreement: 'bike' is singular, so use 'it' not 'them'. Correct: 'But my mother sold it to other people.' If the sale happens currently, use 'is selling it'.
× I think bikes are popular in my country and that is so because, uh, there are beautiful nature and all of the people want uh, to see it and uh, bikes help uh, them to see it.
✓ I think bikes are popular in my country because we have beautiful natural scenery, and people want to see it, so bikes help them do that.
Multiple problems: 'there are beautiful nature' is incorrect — 'nature' is uncountable and needs an adjective 'natural scenery' or 'beautiful nature spots'. 'all of the people' is unnatural; use 'people' or 'many people'. 'want to see it' is fine but avoid split infinitive and fillers. 'bikes help them to see it' is grammatical but more natural as 'help them do that'. Suggestions: use 'we have beautiful natural scenery' and 'people want to see it', and simplify: 'bikes help them do that.' Use present simple consistently for general truths.
