Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar (use correct past simple), be concise, organize into a clear topic sentence plus 1–2 supporting details, use linking words for clarity, and give specific, coherent information (exact time and price phrased naturally). Keep to a maximum of 5 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. My father bought it about 10 to 12 years ago, and it cost around 3,000 (local currency). I learned to ride it in our neighborhood and used it almost every day to visit friends and go to school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 66.0Gợi ý: Organize answer with a clear topic sentence, combine short fragments into fluent sentences, avoid fillers (like "umm"), use linking words (because, so, therefore) and give one specific example to support your point (e.g., commuting to work or markets). Use precise vocabulary (flat/plain region, daily transport).
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially in the plains like the Taurah region because the terrain is flat. As a result, many people use bicycles for daily transportation to work, school, and local markets, which makes cycling a convenient and economical choice.
× Yes, I did had a bicycle when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child.
The sentence incorrectly uses the auxiliary did with the past simple main verb had. In past simple affirmative sentences you should use the past form of the verb without did. Use 'I had' rather than 'I did had'. Suggestion: Use 'I had' for simple past affirmative statements.
× My father bought me bicycle that costed around 3000 at that time.
✓ My father bought me a bicycle that cost around 3000 at that time.
Two errors: missing article 'a' before 'bicycle' and incorrect past tense 'costed'. Countable singular nouns need an article. 'Cost' is irregular and its past is 'cost', not 'costed'. Suggestion: Use 'a bicycle' and 'cost' for past: 'that cost around 3000'.
× It's like 10 or 1210 to 12 years ago he bought me a bicycle and I learned it and it has been.
✓ It was about 10 to 12 years ago that he bought me a bicycle, and I learned to ride it.
Multiple problems: mixing present 'It's like' with past event; wrong sequence '1210 to 12'; incorrect verb phrase 'learned it' (missing infinitive 'to ride'); trailing 'and it has been' is incomplete. Use past reference 'It was about 10 to 12 years ago that he bought me' and 'I learned to ride it.' Suggestion: Use 'It was about 10 to 12 years ago that...' and 'I learned to ride it.' for clarity.
× Yes, I do think that bikes are really popular in my country, especially in the Taurah region.
✓ Yes, I do think that bikes are really popular in my country, especially in the Taurah region.
No grammatical correction needed; sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present simple appropriately for a general opinion. Suggestion: No change required.
× Umm or the plain region.
✓ I mean the plains region.
Fragment: 'Umm or the plain region.' is an incomplete sentence and awkward. To be complete and natural, use 'I mean the plains region.' or integrate into previous sentence. Suggestion: Combine with previous sentence or use 'I mean the plains region.' for clarity.
× Because the land is plain, there are no no mountains or high ranges.
✓ Because the land is flat, there are no mountains or high ranges.
The adjective 'plain' is less natural here; 'flat' is better for terrain. Also contains a duplicated 'no'. Remove duplicate 'no'. Suggestion: Use 'flat' and a single 'no': 'Because the land is flat, there are no mountains or high ranges.'
× People use bike for their daily transportation.
✓ People use bikes for their daily transportation.
Countable noun 'bike' used generically requires plural 'bikes' or an article 'a bike'. Also 'use ... for transportation' better with plural. Use 'bikes' to indicate general practice. Suggestion: Say 'People use bikes for their daily transportation.' or 'People use a bike for daily transportation.'
