Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: Be direct, clear and concise. Start with a topic sentence answering the question, then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Correct word choice and grammar (e.g., ‘own’ not ‘won’, ‘keen on cycling’ not ‘keen to key’) will improve clarity. Keep it under five sentences and avoid hesitation fillers like ‘uh’ and repeated words.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I wasn’t very keen on cycling, so my parents never bought one for me. As a result, I usually walked or used public transport to go to school.

× Uh, in my childhood memory I don't remember any bike I I had won because I was not very keen to key, because I was not very keen to write.
✓ Uh, in my childhood I don't remember having any bike I owned because I was not very keen on cycling; I was not very keen on riding.
The original mixes tenses and incorrect verb forms. Use present simple 'don't remember' with the gerund 'having' to talk about memory of past possession. 'Had won' is incorrect contextually and uses past perfect incorrectly; 'owned' or 'had' is better. 'Keen to key' is a typo; use the correct verb 'keen on cycling' or 'keen on riding'. Also avoid repeating phrases. Suggestion: use 'I don't remember having any bike I owned because I wasn't very keen on cycling.'
× Bikes are very popular in my country because many people are middle class and have moderate income so motorcycle are an affordable way to travel.
✓ Bikes are very popular in my country because many people are middle class and have moderate incomes, so motorcycles are an affordable way to travel.
The sentence has number agreement errors. 'Have moderate income' should be plural 'have moderate incomes' to match 'many people'. 'Motorcycle are' is incorrect; the plural noun 'motorcycles' must be used with plural verb 'are'. Also add a comma before 'so' for clarity.
× They they are also convenient for getting through a heavy traffic and cheaper to main maintain maintain then cars.
✓ They are also convenient for getting through heavy traffic and cheaper to maintain than cars.
There are repeated words and incorrect word forms. Use 'getting through heavy traffic' (no article before 'heavy traffic'). 'Main maintain maintain' are typos; the correct infinitive is 'to maintain'. 'Then' is incorrect comparative word; use 'than'. Remove the duplicate 'they'. Suggestion: 'They are also convenient for getting through heavy traffic and cheaper to maintain than cars.'
