Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 46.0Gợi ý: Be direct, use correct tense and clearer phrasing. Start with a topic sentence that answers the question, then add one or two supporting details. Correct grammar: use past tense consistently (e.g., 'I didn't have a bike'). Avoid repetition and fix word order. Add a brief reason or memory to enrich the answer and use linking words (e.g., 'but', 'however', 'so').
Ví dụ: I didn’t have my own bike when I was a child. Instead, I would borrow my cousin’s bike sometimes, so I could ride around the neighborhood with friends on weekends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 32.0Gợi ý: Organize your response: give a clear opinion first, then provide specific reasons and a short example. Use linking words such as 'however', 'because', and 'for example'. Avoid repetition and incomplete sentences. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., 'motorcycles', 'more convenient', 'commute'). Also avoid saying opinions as absolute facts; soften with phrases like 'many people' or 'it seems'.
Ví dụ: Bicycles are less popular now; most people prefer motorcycles for commuting. For example, motorcycles are faster and more convenient in traffic, so many commuters choose them instead of cycling.
× Actually I don't have.
✓ Actually I didn't.
The question asks about possession in the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student should use past tense. Using 'don't have' is present tense and mismatches the question. Change to 'didn't' to match the past-time frame. Also 'didn't' should be followed by the base verb if adding more words (e.g., 'I didn't have one'). Suggestion: Use past simple when talking about past possession: 'I didn't (have one).'
× I used to play bike before, only when I borrowed the bike of my cousin.
✓ I used to ride a bike, but only when I borrowed my cousin's bike.
Several issues: 'play bike' is incorrect collocation; the correct verb is 'ride' for bicycles. 'Before' is unnecessary when using 'used to.' Use 'but' instead of 'only' for contrast. Possession is expressed with the possessive form 'my cousin's bike' rather than 'the bike of my cousin.' Also 'bike' should be preceded by an article when singular ('a bike'). Suggestion: Say 'I used to ride a bike, but only when I borrowed my cousin's bike.' Note: This correction keeps past habitual meaning appropriate to the question.
× Nowadays only some are all are using bikes.
✓ Nowadays only some people are using bikes.
The original sentence has redundant words ('some are all are') and lacks a clear noun after 'some.' 'Some' should be followed by a noun such as 'people.' 'Nowadays' calls for present continuous or simple present depending on context; 'are using' is acceptable, so correct to 'some people are using bikes.' Suggestion: Use 'some people are using bikes' or 'only some people use bikes.'
× Many of people nowadays are using motorcycle as a mode of transportation because in fact, the truth is they are all lazy to ride a bicycle and they all and they all. Riding with.
✓ Many people nowadays use motorcycles as a mode of transportation because, in fact, they are too lazy to ride bicycles.
Multiple problems: 'Many of people' is incorrect; use 'many people.' 'Motorcycle' should be plural ('motorcycles') to match 'many people.' 'Are using' can be replaced by simple present 'use' for a general statement. 'The truth is' and 'in fact' are redundant together; choose one. 'They are all lazy to ride a bicycle' is awkward; say 'they are too lazy to ride bicycles.' The repeated fragment 'and they all and they all. Riding with.' is incomplete and should be removed. Use consistent plural nouns and concise phrasing. Suggestion: 'Many people nowadays use motorcycles because they are too lazy to ride bicycles.'
