Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Thí sinh
Hmm yes, when I was a child I used to have a bike. I don't have it anymore but I remember I got it from a very early age from my dad. He gifted it to me and also remember how he taught me to bike. It was quite brutal because he just put me on the bike and then expected that I go that I bike it right away.

Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: Clarifiez et structurez votre réponse en commençant par une phrase directe, puis ajoutez des détails précis et cohérents. Évitez les répétitions et les hésitations (par ex. «I remember» répété). Utilisez des mots de liaison pour améliorer la fluidité (par ex. «and», «then», «because», «so») et corrigez les petites erreurs grammaticales (par ex. «he taught me to ride a bike»). Restez dans un maximum de 4–5 phrases et ajoutez un exemple concret ou une émotion pour enrichir le contenu.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike as a child. My father gave it to me when I was very young, and he taught me how to ride it by putting me on and encouraging me to try. At first it felt rough because he was quite forceful, but after a few tries I learned and felt very proud.

Điểm: 82.0Gợi ý: Donnez une réponse claire puis développez avec une raison spécifique et un exemple concret. Évitez les expressions vagues comme «I think yeah» ; commencez par une affirmation nette («Yes» ou «No»). Utilisez un mot de liaison pour expliquer (par ex. «because», «for example») et fournissez une comparaison ou statistique simple si possible. Restez concis (2–3 phrases).
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, mainly for leisure and sport rather than daily transport because public transport and cars are more convenient. For example, many people join weekend cycling clubs and participate in races rather than commuting by bike.
× I don't have it anymore but I remember I got it from a very early age from my dad.
✓ I don't have it anymore but I remember that I got it at a very early age from my dad.
The sentence mixes present and past time expressions correctly (I don't have it anymore + I remember I got it). The main issue is the preposition 'from a very early age' which is unnatural here; use 'at a very early age' to indicate the time when the gift was received. Also add 'that' after 'remember' for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'I remember that I got it at a very early age from my dad.'
× He gifted it to me and also remember how he taught me to bike.
✓ He gifted it to me and I also remember how he taught me to bike.
The sentence is missing the subject 'I' before 'also remember', causing a sentence structure error. Each clause needs an explicit subject when the subject changes or is omitted incorrectly. Suggestion: Include 'I' so the clause reads 'I also remember how he taught me to bike.'
× It was quite brutal because he just put me on the bike and then expected that I go that I bike it right away.
✓ It was quite brutal because he just put me on the bike and then expected that I could ride it right away.
The original has multiple structural and verb problems: the phrase 'expected that I go that I bike it' is ungrammatical. Use 'expected that I could ride it' or 'expected me to ride it' to express expectation. 'Bike' as a verb is informal but acceptable; 'ride' is more natural here. Suggestion: Use 'expected me to ride it right away' or 'expected that I could ride it right away.'
× I think yeah, they're quite popular actually, but more as a hobby, as a sport, not like as a transportation.
✓ I think, yeah, they're quite popular actually, but more as a hobby or a sport, not as a means of transportation.
The phrase 'as a transportation' is incorrect because 'transportation' is an uncountable noun here and needs a modifier: 'means of transportation' or simply 'transport'. Also 'as a hobby, as a sport' is better joined with 'or'. Suggestion: Use 'as a hobby or a sport, not as a means of transportation.'
