Điểm: 56.0Gợi ý: Be direct, use correct tense and more concise sentences. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar: use past tense consistently, avoid redundancy, and limit to 3–4 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. It was a small black bike with a comfortable seat, and I rode it every day after school. Because my house was near a park, I spent many hours riding around with my friends and exploring the neighbourhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion first, then support it with specific reasons and a concise comparison. Use linking words (for example, because, so, therefore) and avoid vague phrases. Keep sentences shorter and correct word choice (e.g., "cheaper" instead of "as much less").
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are much cheaper to buy and run than cars. For example, many people prefer motorcycles for short trips since they save time in traffic and cost less on fuel and maintenance. Therefore bikes are a common and practical choice for daily travel.
× Yes, I have a bike when I was child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The sentence mixes present tense 'have' with past time phrase 'when I was a child'. Use past tense 'had' to match the past time reference; also add the article 'a' before 'child'. Suggestion: Use consistent past tense for events that occurred in childhood.
× Basically it's a bicycle and its color was black and it's quite nice bike and I spent my lot of time while riding my bicycle when I was a child.
✓ It was a bicycle and its color was black. It was a very nice bike and I spent a lot of time riding it when I was a child.
Multiple issues: mixed tenses and incorrect adjective/adverb use. 'Basically' is unnecessary; use simple past 'was' for description. 'Quite nice bike' needs an article and more natural modifier 'a very nice bike'. 'My lot of time' is incorrect collocation; correct phrase is 'a lot of time'. 'While riding my bicycle' is wordy; use 'riding it'. Ensure past tense throughout to match 'when I was a child'.
× I guess bikes are more popular in my country as compared to heavy vehicles because overall the cost is as much less in some other neighboring countries and most of the people think it's a reliable source of travelling as compared to using public transport or using.
✓ I guess bikes are more popular in my country than heavy vehicles because the cost is much lower than in some neighboring countries, and most people think they are a more reliable way to travel than public transport.
Tense is present but sentence has several grammatical issues: use comparative 'more popular than' instead of 'as compared to', 'as much less' is incorrect — use 'much lower', 'in some other neighboring countries' is wordy so use 'in some neighboring countries'. 'Most of the people' should be 'most people'. 'It's a reliable source of travelling' is incorrect noun choice; use 'they are a more reliable way to travel'. Remove trailing 'or using' which is incomplete. Maintain present tense and correct comparative structures.
