Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Keep answers direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and unclear phrases. Also correct grammar mistakes (e.g., tense and article use) and choose precise vocabulary (e.g., "financially comfortable" instead of vague phrasing).
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My family was middle-class and we had limited money, so my parents bought only essential items. For example, my father could afford school supplies but not a bicycle, so I never owned one.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and avoid long, disorganized background explanations. State your view first (yes/no or partially), then give one or two clear reasons with linking words (e.g., "because", "however"). Use correct grammar and concise historical references if needed. Avoid filler words like "you know" and correct tense and article errors.
Ví dụ: When I was a child, bikes were not very popular in my area because the country was still recovering economically after independence. However, nowadays bicycles are more common, especially in towns, because they are an affordable way to travel.
× In fact I had many limited resources like my parents were not like they were not rich basically.
✓ In fact, we had very limited resources because my parents were not rich.
The original mixes tenses and uses awkward phrasing. Use simple past 'had' for past state and combine clauses with 'because' to show reason. Remove redundant 'were not like' and 'basically' for clarity.
× So we come from meeting, we come from middle class background.
✓ We came from a middle-class background.
The original uses present tense 'come' incorrectly for a past context and contains an unclear word 'meeting'. Use simple past 'came' and the correct noun phrase 'a middle-class background'. Hyphenate 'middle-class'.
× So whatever my father could have afforded that time, I was provided with those things itself.
✓ We were provided with whatever my father could afford at that time.
The original has awkward passive phrasing and incorrect tense/modal construction 'could have afforded' which implies a past conditional. Use 'could afford' for ability in the past and adjust word order to be natural. Remove 'itself' which is unnecessary.
× Given the question what you asked like when I was a kid, no, at that time, so because our country had just came from independence, it you know like in 1947 the our country got independent and our economic conditions are not that great.
✓ When I was a kid, no. At that time our country had just gained independence in 1947, and our economic conditions were not very good.
Use past perfect 'had gained' or simple past 'gained' for the event before the reference time; the original 'had just came' mixes perfect with past participle incorrectly. 'Got independent' is informal; use 'gained independence' or 'became independent'. Also change 'are not that great' to past 'were not very good' to match past timeframe and remove filler phrases.
× Even my family as I said, my family work not was not that great.
✓ Even my family's financial situation, as I said, was not very good.
The original has word order and verb errors 'work not was not'. Use a possessive noun 'my family's' and verb 'was' to describe past state. Clarify with 'financial situation' to specify meaning.
× So because of that just not.
✓ So because of that, there were not many bikes.
The original fragment 'So because of that just not' is incomplete and lacks a verb. Provide a complete clause in past tense to match context. Use 'there were' for existence in past and supply the subject 'many bikes' to clarify meaning.
