Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Be more concise, avoid repetition, and follow the basic structure: give a clear topic sentence then one or two specific supporting details. Correct small grammar issues (remove duplicate words, use correct preposition: "for my 6th birthday" is okay but better "on my 6th birthday"). Keep the answer to no more than 3–4 sentences and use a linking word if you add details (e.g., "because" or "and").
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a yellow bike that my grandfather gave me on my 6th birthday, and I used to ride it around the neighborhood every afternoon.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence and avoid filler words like "and" at the beginning. Use linking words to connect ideas and correct word order: say "many people use bikes" or "they are popular because..." Give one or two specific reasons with short examples. Improve grammar: "most people use bikes" should be "many people use bikes nowadays" and remove extra words like "for" before "the environment."
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular nowadays. Many people use them because they are environmentally friendly and a good way to exercise; for example, commuters often cycle to work to save money and stay fit.
× Ah yes, I had a yellow bike which which was from a gift from my grandfather for my 6th birthday.
✓ Ah yes, I had a yellow bike which was a gift from my grandfather for my 6th birthday.
The phrase 'was from a gift from' is incorrect and redundant. Use 'was a gift from' or simply 'a gift from' to indicate the source. Also remove the duplicated 'which'. Suggestion: say 'a gift from my grandfather' to be clear and concise.
× And I think they are nowadays people most use bikes because for the environment and it is a good way to exercise.
✓ I think bikes are popular nowadays because people use them for environmental reasons and because they are a good way to exercise.
This sentence has multiple structure problems: misplaced adverb 'nowadays', unnecessary 'and' at the start, unclear subject placement 'they are nowadays people most use bikes', and redundant 'because for the environment'. Rearranged the sentence to place 'nowadays' correctly, use a clear subject 'people', replace 'they' with 'bikes' or 'them', and combine reasons with parallel structure. Suggestion: keep adverb positions close to the verb ('are popular nowadays') and use parallel reasons ('for environmental reasons' and 'a good way to exercise').
