Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear opinion, use correct comparative structure, and give a specific reason. Correct grammar (subject–verb agreement), avoid repetition, and use linking words like 'because' once or 'since'. Provide a precise detail or example about roads or cost. Keep answer under five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are more popular than cars in my country because many roads are narrow and poorly maintained, so people prefer smaller, more maneuverable vehicles. In addition, bicycles and motorbikes are cheaper to buy and run, which makes them practical for daily travel.
× Currently I am a child and also I have a bike.
✓ I am a child now, and I also have a bike.
The original sentence uses 'Currently I am a child' which is grammatically acceptable but sounds unnatural; 'now' is more natural. Also the coordination 'and also I have a bike' should place the adverb 'also' before the verb for natural English word order: 'I also have a bike'. Use present simple 'am' and 'have' for current states. Suggestions: replace 'Currently' with 'now' or 'currently' at the start and move 'also' before 'have' to form 'I am a child now, and I also have a bike.'
× Yes, it is more popular than cars because because in our country roads are not create well built very well.
✓ Yes, bikes are more popular than cars because the roads in our country are not built very well.
Multiple issues: subject reference and verb tense/word order. The student used 'it is more popular' but the noun 'bikes' (plural) requires 'bikes are' (subject-verb agreement; present tense for general fact). Redundant 'because because' should be one 'because'. The phrase 'roads are not create well built very well' mixes wrong verb forms: 'create' is incorrect here and 'built' should be used with appropriate word order. Correct structure: 'the roads ... are not built very well.' Also add definite article 'the' before 'roads' to refer to roads in the country. Suggestions: use 'Bikes are more popular than cars because the roads in our country are not built very well.'
