Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: Bạn đã hiểu sai vai trò: bạn trả lời bằng cách lặp lại câu hỏi của giám khảo thay vì trả lời. Cần trả lời trực tiếp bằng một câu chủ đề ngắn gọn, sau đó bổ sung 1–2 chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ: khi nào, vì sao, ai cho, tần suất sử dụng). Hạn chế độ dài tối đa 5 câu và dùng các từ nối nếu thêm chi tiết.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was seven, and I used to ride it to my friend’s house almost every day. It was a small red bike with a basket, which made it easy to carry books and toys.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: Bạn tiếp tục lặp lại câu hỏi thay vì đưa ra ý kiến. Cần trả lời trực tiếp nêu quan điểm (yes/no or partially) rồi giải thích với 1–2 lí do cụ thể và, nếu có thể, một ví dụ hoặc so sánh. Dùng liên từ (for example, because, however) để làm rõ luận điểm và giữ độ dài không quá 5 câu.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller towns. Many people use them for short trips or exercise because traffic can be heavy and parking is limited. For example, commuters often cycle to the nearest bus stop and then take public transport for the rest of their journey.
× Do you have a bike when you were a child?
✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?
The student used the present simple 'Do you have' with a past time marker 'when you were a child'. This is a tense mismatch. Use the past simple 'Did you have' to match the past time reference. Suggestion: change the auxiliary to 'Did' and use the base verb 'have' for past simple questions (Did + subject + base verb).
× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
This sentence is already correct. The student used present simple 'Do you think' to ask about a general present opinion and 'are popular' is the correct present form. No correction needed.
