No, because people in my country are using car.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: First, correct the misunderstanding: use past tense and the right word (“bike” not “bacon”). Give a direct topic sentence saying whether you had one, then add one specific supporting detail (how often you used it or a memory). Keep it natural, up to 3–4 short sentences, and use a linking word if you add details (for example, “because” or “so”).
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used it almost every day to ride to my friend’s house and to the park. Because the roads near my home were quiet, I felt safe riding on my own.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear, full sentence (use subject-verb agreement and plural forms correctly). Provide a brief reason and one specific example or contrast to make your answer richer. Use a linking word (e.g., “because,” “however,” or “for example”) and avoid absolute statements unless you can support them. Keep answers concise (2–3 sentences).
Ví dụ: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because most people prefer to use cars for convenience. For example, many families own at least one car and public infrastructure is built mainly for driving rather than cycling.
× Do you have a bacon when you were a child?
✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?
The student used the wrong verb tense and wrong noun. The question is about past possession, so use past simple 'Did you have' not present 'Do you have'. Also 'a bacon' is incorrect: 'bacon' is an uncountable noun (food) and does not fit context; the intended word is 'bike' (countable). Use 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' for correct past-tense question structure and correct noun usage.
× No, because people in my country are using car.
✓ No, because people in my country use cars.
The student used progressive present 'are using' incorrectly for a general habit and used singular 'car' where plural is needed to refer to people in general. For general habits or facts, use simple present 'use'. Also use the plural countable noun 'cars' to match 'people'. Therefore: 'No, because people in my country use cars.'
