Điểm: 82.0Gợi ý: Your answer is direct and grammatically correct, but it is very short. To improve, add one or two concise supporting details (brief reason or contrast) using a linking word to enrich the response while keeping it natural and within 3–4 sentences.
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family lived in a small apartment and there wasn't enough space to store one. However, I often borrowed my neighbor's bike at weekends to ride in the park.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Your answer shows relevant ideas but is filled with hesitations, repetition and unclear phrasing. To improve, organize your response: start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific supporting points connected with linking words (for example, 'first' and 'also'), use more precise vocabulary (commute, errands, children), and avoid filler words. Keep it within 3–4 concise sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. First, many youths use them to commute to school or work because they are cheap and convenient. Also, families use bikes for short errands like going to the grocery store, and children enjoy riding them for fun in parks.
× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
This sentence is already correct: the negative past simple 'didn't have' correctly matches the past time reference 'when I was a child'. No change needed.
× Yes, bikes are really popular in my country, especially, uh, youths.
✓ Yes, bikes are really popular in my country, especially among young people.
The original uses 'youths' awkwardly and lacks a preposition. Use 'among' to indicate within a group and 'young people' is more natural. This corrects pronoun/noun usage and preposition choice.
× You, uh, you used bike most of, uh, most of the time in the street, uh, they normally use the uh, used bike to go to the school, uh, go to uh, grocery shopping and kids also love to use bikes, uh, especially.
✓ People usually ride bikes most of the time on the street; they normally use bikes to go to school, to do grocery shopping, and children also especially love riding them.
Original sentence has multiple structural problems: repetition and unclear subjects, incorrect verb forms ('used bike', 'ride' vs 'use'), missing articles ('school' without 'to school' is fine but 'to the school' often unnecessary), and mixed clauses. I simplified and clarified the subject ('people'), replaced incorrect verb phrases with 'ride bikes' or 'use bikes', used correct infinitive forms ('to go to school', 'to do grocery shopping'), and made the list parallel. This addresses sentence structure and verb form issues.
