Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar and fluency: use correct tense and sentence structure, avoid redundancy, and keep answer within 2–3 clear sentences. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail with a linking word. For example, say you owned a bike, when you used it, and why you enjoyed it using words like “because” or “so”.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. I used it almost every afternoon to visit friends and explore my neighborhood, and I enjoyed it because riding felt relaxing and gave me a sense of freedom.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Work on clarity, grammar and a more specific explanation. Begin with a clear opinion (Yes/No), then give one or two concrete reasons using linking words such as “because” or “however.” Avoid awkward phrasing like “you don't able to be seen.” Instead, say who uses bikes and where. Provide a short comparison if helpful.
Ví dụ: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because most people prefer cars or motorbikes. However, you can still see some people using bicycles in rural areas for short trips or farm work.
× When I was a child, I have a bicycle and.
✓ When I was a child, I had a bicycle.
The sentence refers to a past time (when I was a child) so the verb should be in the past tense. 'Have' is present tense; change it to 'had' to match the past context. Also remove the extraneous conjunction 'and' at the end. Suggestion: use past simple for completed states in the past: 'I had a bicycle.'
× When I bike with my bicycle, I feel myself so relaxing and comfortable.
✓ When I ride my bicycle, I feel very relaxed and comfortable.
Several issues: 'bike' as a verb is acceptable but 'ride my bicycle' is more natural. The time reference in the first clause should match habitual present (if describing general feeling) or past if referring to childhood; assuming habitual present, present simple 'ride' is correct. 'Feel myself so relaxing' is incorrect: 'feel' should be followed by an adjective describing your state, not a reflexive pronoun plus present participle. Use 'feel relaxed' (adjective) rather than 'feel myself relaxing'. Replace 'so' with 'very' for natural emphasis. Suggestion: 'When I ride my bicycle, I feel very relaxed and comfortable.'
× Actually I don't think so, because in my country you don't able to be seen people around the countryside too using bike extremely.
✓ Actually, I don't think so, because in my country you don't see many people in the countryside using bicycles.
This sentence has multiple problems but focusing on tense and common usage: 'you don't able to be seen' is ungrammatical. Use 'you don't see' or 'people are not seen' to express lack of visibility. 'Around the countryside' is awkward; 'in the countryside' is correct. 'Too' and 'extremely' are misused here. 'Using bike extremely' is not natural; use 'using bicycles' or 'cycling' and quantify with 'many' or 'often' as needed. Suggestion: 'I don't think so, because in my country you don't see many people in the countryside using bicycles.'
