Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Make your answer grammatically consistent in tense, be concise, and add a brief supporting detail. Start with a clear topic sentence in the past tense, then give one short reason. Use one linking word to connect ideas.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I wanted one very much, but my family couldn’t afford it at the time, so I learned to enjoy walking and playing other outdoor games instead.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence and use correct grammar and linking words. Avoid repetition, provide one or two specific reasons or examples, and keep it concise (maximum five sentences).
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people choose them because they are much cheaper to buy and maintain than cars, and they are convenient for short trips in crowded cities; for example, students and delivery workers often use bicycles daily.
× No, I don't have a bike, but I love to have a bike when I was young but because of financial constraints I wasn't able to have it.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike, but I wanted to have one when I was young; because of financial constraints I wasn't able to get it.
Errors: present-tense 'don't have' conflicts with past-time reference 'when I was young' (Present tense issue and Past tense issue). 'I love to have' is unnatural for a past desire; use 'wanted to have' (present vs past mismatch, suggestion: match past context). Repeated 'a bike' is redundant; use 'one' for clarity. 'Have it' is awkward; use 'get it' or 'own one'. Also use a semicolon or conjunction to join clauses correctly. Suggestion: keep verbs in past tense when speaking about childhood, replace 'love to have' with 'wanted to have', and avoid repetition by using pronouns like 'one'.
× Yes, I agree that bike bikes are popular in my own country, people who cannot buy cars or motorcycles or buying bike because it is less expensive compared to cars in other vehicles, so it is more.
✓ Yes, I agree that bicycles are popular in my country. People who cannot buy cars or motorcycles buy bikes because they are less expensive than cars and other vehicles.
Errors: 'bike bikes' is a repetition and should be plural 'bikes' or 'bicycles' (singular/plural issue). 'In my own country' is wordy; use 'in my country'. The clause 'or buying bike' mixes forms; it should be 'buy bikes' (verb form and plural). 'It is less expensive compared to cars in other vehicles' is incorrect structure and comparison; use 'they are less expensive than cars and other vehicles'. Also 'so it is more' is unclear and unnecessary; remove it. Suggestion: use plural nouns to match general statements, keep parallel verb forms, and use clear comparative constructions 'less expensive than'. Replace redundant phrases and split into two sentences for clarity.
