Yes, I did. I did had a bike when I was a child. I had a bike at a very young age, but it was three wheels because I couldn't balance it very much. But then right now I can ride a bike effectively with I can balance it really well and doing good tricks with it, such as without using my hand to control it by using my body, which is pretty cool.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Thí sinh
Yes, very much In the evening or in the afternoons when I look outside my window, I will see a lot of boys and maybe girls, because there's not much girls riding bikes, but a lot of boys ride their bike, going around and shouting to each other, which is pretty good and healthy.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Correct grammar and tighten the response. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and long, unconnected clauses. For example, fix tense errors ("I did had" → "I had") and simplify the sentence about current ability (use: "Now I can balance and do tricks"). Keep it to under five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a three-wheeler at first because I couldn't balance well. Later I learned to ride a two-wheeler, and now I can balance confidently and even do simple tricks, like riding without using my hands.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Be more precise and organize ideas with linking words. Begin with a clear opinion, then add specific observations and a reason or result. Avoid vague phrases ("maybe girls") and gender stereotypes. Use correct verb forms and punctuation. For example, say when and where you see bikes, who rides them, and why they are popular (health/transport).
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular. In the afternoons and evenings I often see many people, especially boys and some girls, riding around my neighborhood. They use bikes both for exercise and short trips, which makes cycling a common and healthy pastime.
× I did had a bike when I was a child.
✓ I had a bike when I was a child.
The auxiliary 'did' is unnecessary and incorrect with the past simple affirmative. In past simple affirmative sentences, use the past form of the main verb alone (had), not 'did' + past form. Suggestion: for past simple affirmative, say 'I had...'; use 'Did you have...?' for questions.
× I had a bike at a very young age, but it was three wheels because I couldn't balance it very much.
✓ I had a bike from a very young age, but it had three wheels because I couldn't balance it very well.
Use 'from' to indicate starting point in time ('from a very young age'). 'Three-wheeled' or 'it had three wheels' is more natural than 'it was three wheels.' 'Very much' is not correct with 'balance' in this context; use the adverb 'very well.' Suggestion: say 'from a very young age' and 'couldn't balance it very well.'
× But then right now I can ride a bike effectively with I can balance it really well and doing good tricks with it, such as without using my hand to control it by using my body, which is pretty cool.
✓ But now I can ride a bike effectively; I can balance it really well and do good tricks with it, for example riding without using my hands to control it by using my body, which is pretty cool.
Combine clauses correctly and use correct verb forms: 'doing' should be base verb 'do' after 'and' when coordinating with 'can balance.' 'With I can' is ungrammatical; use a semicolon or separate clauses. Use 'without using my hands' (plural) and 'do good tricks' (base verb after auxiliary or coordination). Also 'right now' -> 'now' is more natural. Suggestion: split into clear clauses and use base verb forms after modal or coordination.
× Yes, very much In the evening or in the afternoons when I look outside my window, I will see a lot of boys and maybe girls, because there's not much girls riding bikes, but a lot of boys ride their bike, going around and shouting to each other, which is pretty good and healthy.
✓ Yes, very much. In the evening or in the afternoons when I look out of my window, I see a lot of boys and sometimes girls, because there aren't many girls riding bikes, but many boys ride their bikes, going around and shouting to each other, which is pretty good and healthy.
Several issues: sentence run-on and missing punctuation; use 'look out of my window' or 'look out my window.' 'I will see' is future but context is habitual, so present simple 'I see' is correct. 'There's not much girls' is wrong: use plural 'there aren't many girls.' 'Ride their bike' should be 'ride their bikes' to match plural subject. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions, correct subject-verb and quantifier forms, and add punctuation to separate ideas.
