Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Thí sinh
Yes, I did own a bag when I was a child. I was just 10 years old when I first learned how to write one. It's quite late for a child in Bangladesh to learn at that age because I haven't got athletic as my other friends, so I needed more practice.

Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Issues: content is confusing (mentions 'bag' and 'write' instead of 'bike' and 'ride'), grammar errors, unclear meaning, and lacks coherence. To improve, answer the question directly with a clear topic sentence, correct vocabulary (bike, ride), and 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and within 3–4 sentences. Focus on simple correct grammar (past tense) and clear reasons or a brief anecdote.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I learned to ride it when I was about ten, which was a bit later than my friends. Because I wasn’t very athletic, I practiced a lot in the local park until I felt confident.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Issues: generally relevant but grammar and phrasing are awkward (e.g., 'every range of age', 'use in in their daily basis', 'navigate them from'). To improve, give a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details (who uses them and why), using linking words like 'because' or 'for example'. Use more precise vocabulary (commuters, students, affordable, short trips). Keep it concise and coherent.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because people of all ages use them. For example, students ride bikes to school and many adults use them for short commutes since they are affordable and convenient in crowded areas.
× Yes, I did own a bag when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I did own a bike when I was a child.
The student answered the examiner's question about a bike but wrote 'bag', which is a wrong lexical choice rather than grammatical; however it functions like a pronoun/reference error because the noun does not match context. Change to 'bike' to refer correctly to the subject of the question.
× I was just 10 years old when I first learned how to write one.
✓ I was just 10 years old when I first learned how to ride one.
The verb 'write' is incorrect in context; the intended action for a bike is 'ride'. Use past simple 'learned' correctly for a past event. Replace the verb to match the intended meaning.
× It's quite late for a child in Bangladesh to learn at that age because I haven't got athletic as my other friends, so I needed more practice.
✓ It's quite late for a child in Bangladesh to learn at that age because I wasn't as athletic as my friends, so I needed more practice.
Multiple issues: incorrect tense/form 'haven't got athletic' is ungrammatical. Use past 'wasn't' to match the past context and the adjective 'athletic' requires a copula (wasn't as athletic as). 'My other friends' is redundant; 'my friends' is clearer. This fixes subject-verb agreement and tense consistency.
× Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country given that every range of age of people use in in their daily basis, starting from children who use it for enjoyment or to navigate them from.
✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because people of all ages use them daily; children use them for fun or to get around.
Sentence contained several problems: incorrect phrase 'every range of age of people' should be 'people of all ages' (preposition and word order). 'Use in in their daily basis' is ungrammatical; use 'use them daily'. Pronoun agreement: 'bikes' plural requires 'them' not 'it'. 'To navigate them from' is incorrect; use 'to get around' or 'to travel short distances'. This revision corrects there-be/existence phrasing, prepositions, pronouns, and overall sentence structure.
