Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Thí sinh
They are not as popular as in the other countries, like in Europe, uh in Netherlands for example, they use bikes everywhere, but in my country in Kazakhstan it's not that popular. It's not that common to ride bike except if you're.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Ответ недостаточно развернут и содержит грамматические неточности. Сформулируйте тему прямо в первом предложении, затем добавьте 1–2 уточняющих детали (когда и почему не научились или кто помогал), используйте связующие слова и правильные формы глаголов. Избегайте лишних слов и сделайте не более 3–4 предложений.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but I never learned to ride properly. I remember my parents bought it for me when I was seven, but I was too afraid to try. As a result, I mostly used it as a toy rather than for riding.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Ответ слишком длинный и неструктурированный, с повторами и незавершённым окончанием. Начните с чёткой темы, затем добавьте 2 конкретных причин или примера, используя связки (for example, because, however). Завершайте мысль полно и избегайте звуковой паузы («uh») в речи. Постарайтесь уложиться в 2–3 предложений.
Ví dụ: No, bicycles are less popular in Kazakhstan than in some European countries. For example, in the Netherlands many people cycle daily because cities are flat and have good bike lanes, whereas in my country there are fewer cycling paths and harsher winters, so most people prefer cars or public transport.
× I actually had, but I didn't learn since then.
✓ I actually had one, but I haven't ridden it since then.
The student used 'had' (past possession) correctly but 'didn't learn since then' is incorrect because 'since then' connects past to present and requires present perfect. Also the verb 'learn' is wrong for riding a bike; use 'ridden'. Use 'have/has + past participle' for actions continuing to present. Suggestion: use present perfect 'haven't ridden' and specify 'one' for the bike.
× They are not as popular as in the other countries, like in Europe, uh in Netherlands for example, they use bikes everywhere, but in my country in Kazakhstan it's not that popular.
✓ They are not as popular as in other countries. For example, in the Netherlands people use bikes everywhere, but in my country, Kazakhstan, they aren't that popular.
Several preposition and article issues: 'as in the other countries' should be 'as in other countries' (no definite article). 'in Netherlands' requires the definite article: 'in the Netherlands'. Also run-on sentence; better split. Use 'people' as subject instead of comma splice. 'It's not that popular' refers to 'bikes' (plural) so use 'they aren't'. Suggestion: remove unnecessary articles, add 'the' for Netherlands, ensure subject-verb agreement and split into clear sentences.
× It's not that common to ride bike except if you're.
✓ It's not that common to ride a bike unless you're going on a short trip or live in a city where cycling is convenient.
Sentence is incomplete and missing a noun after 'ride'—use 'ride a bike'. The phrase 'except if' is unnatural; use 'unless'. Also sentence lacked a finishing clause after 'you're'. Provide a complete conditional clause like 'you're going on a short trip' or 'you live in a city where cycling is convenient'. Suggestion: complete the sentence and use 'a bike' and 'unless' for clarity.
