Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Sửa ngữ pháp và cấu trúc câu để trả lời tự nhiên hơn; dùng câu chủ đề rõ ràng, thêm chi tiết cụ thể và từ nối hợp lý. Ví dụ: sửa thì, danh từ/động từ (walk a try → when I was young/when I was a child; love the riding bike → loved riding bikes), biến ‘friend’ thành ‘friends’, sử dụng liên từ như 'because' hoặc 'and' để nối ý. Cũng tránh từ không chính xác như 'crowded' khi muốn nói 'made us laugh' hoặc 'kept us company'. Giữ độ dài dưới 5 câu.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I started learning to ride in first grade and I loved it because it felt very freeing. I often rode with my friends after school, and we would race each other around the neighborhood. Those afternoons were fun and helped me become more confident on the road.

Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Cải thiện ngữ pháp, trật tự từ và dùng từ chính xác; mở rộng câu chủ đề rồi thêm lý do cụ thể. Ví dụ: nói rõ rằng xe máy phổ biến, sau đó giải thích vì sao (tiện lợi, tốc độ, cấu trúc thành phố), và nêu ngoại lệ cụ thể (học sinh, người già) với từ vựng đúng (young students, elderly people). Dùng liên từ như 'because' hoặc 'however' để liên kết ý. Giữ câu ngắn gọn và tự nhiên.
Ví dụ: In Vietnam, motorbikes are much more popular than bicycles. This is because motorbikes are faster and more convenient for commuting in busy cities. However, bicycles are still commonly used by young students and some elderly people for short trips. Overall, bicycles are less common for daily commuting compared with motorbikes.
× When I walk a try, I love the riding bike.
✓ When I was learning to walk and try new things, I loved riding a bike.
The original sentence mixes present and past tense and uses incorrect verb forms. 'walk a try' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'learning to walk and trying new things' or simply 'learned to ride'. The verb 'love' should be past 'loved' to match 'When I...'. 'the riding bike' should be 'riding a bike' — use the indefinite article 'a' with 'bike' and the gerund 'riding' is fine after 'loved'. Suggestion: keep consistent past tense for childhood events and use correct collocations like 'learned to ride' or 'loved riding a bike'.
× I started riding when I was in first grade and it was a very fun and enjoyable time.
✓ I started riding when I was in first grade, and it was a very fun and enjoyable time.
This sentence is mostly correct but needs a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and' joining two independent clauses. Tense usage is correct: 'started' and 'was' are past tense appropriate for recounting past events. Suggestion: add punctuation to improve clarity.
× I especially enjoyed riding with my friend.
✓ I especially enjoyed riding with my friends.
If the speaker rode with more than one friend earlier in the transcript ('with my friend' could be singular but next sentence implies multiple), plural 'friends' is likely correct. If it was truly one friend, the original is acceptable. The verb 'enjoyed' is correct past tense. Suggestion: choose singular or plural to match the intended meaning.
× We could chatting with other which make us crowded.
✓ We could chat with others, which made us feel excited and crowded.
Original has incorrect verb form 'could chatting' — after modal 'could' use base form 'chat'. 'other' should be plural 'others'. The relative clause needs past tense 'made' to match the main clause. 'crowded' is not a natural description for people feeling together; add 'feel' and clarify emotion: 'feel excited and crowded' or simply 'there were a lot of people around us'. Suggestion: use correct verb forms after modals, pluralize 'others', and ensure tense agreement.
× In Vietnam people seem to be using motorbike more often, so bicycle only popular for students in little old people.
✓ In Vietnam, people seem to use motorbikes more often, so bicycles are only popular among students and some older people.
Several issues: 'motorbike' should be plural 'motorbikes' for general statement; 'seem to be using' can be simplified to 'seem to use'. 'bicycle' should be plural 'bicycles'. Missing verb 'are' in 'only popular' — use 'are only popular'. Preposition 'among' is correct for a group. 'in little old people' is ungrammatical; intended 'and some older people' or 'among older people'. Suggestion: use plurals for generalizations, include the correct form of 'to be' with adjectives, and use 'among' for groups.
