Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Correct the tense and make the response natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then add one short supporting detail using a linking word. For example, explain why you didn’t have one or what alternative you used. Keep it to 1–3 sentences and avoid redundant words.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or rode the bus because my family couldn’t afford one.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar, remove filler words and repetition, and add a specific supporting detail with a linking word. Begin with a clear topic sentence about popularity, then give a concrete reason or example (e.g., common uses, statistics, or typical households). Stay within 1–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and errands. For example, in many towns almost every household owns at least one bicycle due to low costs and convenient storage.
× No, I don't have a bike when I was a child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
The sentence mixes present tense 'don't have' with past time expression 'when I was a child'. Use past simple 'didn't have' to match the past time frame. Suggestion: use past simple for states or possessions in the past (I didn't have, I was).
× Uh, in every every home have bike.
✓ Uh, in almost every home there is a bike.
The original lacks correct subject-verb agreement and the existential construction 'there is/are'. 'Every home' is singular, so use 'there is'. Also include an article 'a bike'. Alternatively: 'Almost every home has a bike.' Both correct subject-verb agreement and article usage.
