Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and grammatical. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., subject-verb agreement, articles) and avoid repetition and filler words. Keep answers under five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle that I got when I was eight, and I loved riding it around my neighborhood. Because I could ride by myself, I felt more independent and spent a lot of time with friends after school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Answer directly, then give specific reasons with clearer linking words and correct grammar. Avoid repetition (e.g., "than than") and vague phrases. Use one or two clear reasons such as cost, traffic, and convenience, and finish with a brief conclusion. Keep within five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially in cities. Firstly, they are much cheaper to buy and maintain than cars, so many people choose them for daily travel. Secondly, bikes are convenient in heavy traffic and easier to park, which makes them ideal for short trips.
× That's every kids.
✓ That's for every kid.
The noun 'kids' (plural) does not agree with 'every', which requires a singular noun. Use 'every kid' or 'every child'. Also 'That's for every kid' clarifies meaning by adding the preposition 'for'. Suggestion: Use 'every' + singular noun (every child/kid).
× I guess, uh dream to have a bike because the same age was having the bike to have a bike.
✓ I guess everyone at that age dreams of having a bike.
The original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear. It lacks proper subject-verb agreement and correct verb forms. 'Dream' should be 'dreams' to agree with 'everyone', and 'of having a bike' is the correct verb pattern. Simplify the sentence structure to 'everyone at that age dreams of having a bike.' Suggestion: Use a clear subject like 'everyone' and the verb pattern 'dream of + -ing'.
× It just feel little different to have our own vehicle at really short age.
✓ It just feels a little different to have our own vehicle at such a young age.
Subject-verb agreement: 'It' requires the third-person singular verb 'feels' (problem type 27 also). 'Little different' needs the determiner 'a little different'. 'Really short age' is incorrect collocation; use 'such a young age'. Suggestion: Use 'feels' for 'it' and natural expressions like 'a little different' and 'such a young age'.
× That's really great.
✓ That's really great.
This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Suggestion: None.
× Yes, they are quite popular in my country because for the people who can't afford cars or like the bigger vehicles, they usually go for a bike or bicycles because they are much more efficient than than the than the car.
✓ Yes, they are quite popular in my country because people who can't afford cars or larger vehicles usually choose a bike, since bicycles are much more efficient than cars.
Redundancies and word choice errors: 'for the people' can be simplified to 'people'. 'Like the bigger vehicles' should be 'larger vehicles'. Choose consistent singular/plural: 'a bike' vs 'bicycles' — use 'bicycles are' or 'a bike is'. Remove repeated words 'than than the than the'. Use 'cars' plural to compare with 'bicycles'. Suggestion: Keep parallel structure and avoid repeated words; ensure comparison uses plural nouns (bicycles vs cars).
× And it is really important for today's generation to have our own vehicle.
✓ And it is really important for today's generation to have their own vehicles.
Pronoun mismatch: 'today's generation' is third-person singular/group, so use 'their' instead of 'our'. Also match number: 'vehicle' -> 'vehicles' since referring to people in general. Suggestion: Use third-person plural pronouns and plural nouns when talking about a general group (their vehicles).
