Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons or examples using linking words (e.g., because, for example, therefore). Correct article usage and phrasing will make the answer more natural. Keep answers to under five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to get around. For example, many people commute to work or school by bicycle in smaller cities, and bike-sharing schemes have become common in larger urban areas.
× Hello, I don't have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Hello, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
The sentence mixes present simple ('don't have') with a past time expression ('when I was a child'). Use simple past to match the past time frame. Change 'don't have' to 'didn't have'. Also, 'Hello,' is unnecessary in answer but not a grammar error.
× Yes, the bikes are popular in our country which some people use the bike for their daily transportation.
✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country, and some people use them for their daily transportation.
The original sentence has awkward structure and incorrect use of the relative clause 'which some people use the bike...'. Use a coordinating conjunction or split into two clauses. Also fix pronoun and article: use 'bikes' (general plural) and 'them' to refer back to bikes, not 'the bike'. The corrected sentence uses natural word order and clear reference.
