Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Make the answer more natural and informative: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because, moreover, therefore). Avoid filler words like “uh” and minor grammar errors (use ‘they are’ or ‘bikes are’).
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, I see cyclists on dedicated bike lanes every morning, and shared bike services in cities have also increased their use.
× Yes, it is a very popular and I see it, uh, everywhere and every day.
✓ Yes, they are very popular and I see them everywhere, every day.
The student refers to 'bikes' (plural) so verbs and pronouns must be plural. Use 'they are' instead of 'it is' and 'them' instead of 'it'. Also remove filler 'uh' and improve punctuation by separating 'everywhere' and 'every day' with a comma for clarity. To improve, ensure subject number (singular/plural) matches verbs and pronouns: identify the noun (bikes = plural) and use plural forms (they, are, them).
