Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear direct opinion sentence, then give specific reasons and examples. Use varied vocabulary and more precise linking words (for example, because, therefore, for short trips). Avoid repeating the same phrase and correct article/pronoun usage.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are inexpensive and convenient for short trips. For example, many people use bikes to commute to work or to run quick errands, especially in crowded urban areas where parking is difficult.
× No, I don't have a bike when I was a child, but my father usually drop me to the school through the bike.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but my father usually dropped me to school by bike.
The sentence mixes present tense ('don't have') with past time reference ('when I was a child'). Use past simple 'didn't have'. 'Drop' should be past 'dropped' to match habitual past action. Also use 'to school' (no article) and 'by bike' is the natural preposition for means of transportation. Suggestion: keep all verbs in past simple for past events and use 'by' for transport methods.
× But I am not drive, I mean I don't I have not ride when I was a child.
✓ But I couldn't ride; I mean I had not ridden a bike when I was a child.
The original uses incorrect verb forms and tense. 'I am not drive' is ungrammatical; to express inability in past use 'couldn't' or 'could not'. 'I have not ride' mixes present perfect with base form 'ride' and conflicts with past time 'when I was a child'. The correct past perfect/past constructions are 'couldn't ride' or 'had not ridden'. Suggestion: use 'couldn't ride' for general inability in the past or 'had not ridden' to emphasize prior lack of experience.
× I think it is quite useful for the transportation service and easier process, because nowadays people usually use bike as in transportation, I mean transportation service.
✓ I think bikes are quite useful for transportation and make travel easier, because nowadays people usually use bikes for getting around.
The sentence has awkward phrasing and incorrect article/use of 'transportation service.' Use plural 'bikes' to match general statement. 'Useful for transportation' is idiomatic. 'Easier process' is unclear; 'make travel easier' is natural. Use 'use bikes for getting around' rather than 'use bike as in transportation'. Suggestion: choose natural collocations and consistent plural forms when speaking generally.
× So it's like whenever they want to go a different place, they usually move through bike.
✓ So it's like whenever they want to go to a different place, they usually travel by bike.
Problems: missing preposition 'to' before 'a different place'. 'Move through bike' is incorrect collocation; use 'travel by bike' or 'go by bike'. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'they... usually travel'. Suggestion: use 'go to' for destinations and 'by bike' for mode of transport.
