Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Make the tense and grammar correct, answer directly with a clear topic sentence, and add one brief supporting detail. Use past tense for childhood and avoid redundancy. Keep it within 1–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My family couldn't afford one, so I usually walked or took the bus to school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence stating your opinion, use correct vocabulary (e.g., "many young people" not "guest bikes"), and add a specific supporting detail with a linking word (e.g., "for example" or "because"). Correct grammar and plural/singular forms. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially among young people. For example, many riders enjoy weekend trips to places like Ladakh and sometimes practise stunts, which makes biking both a transport choice and a hobby.
× 'No, I don't have a bike when I was a child.'
✓ 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'
'When I was a child' is a past time marker, so the verb should be in the past tense. The student used present tense 'don't have' which is inconsistent. Use past simple 'didn't have'. Suggestion: match verb tense to time expressions (e.g., 'when I was a child' -> past simple).
× 'Guest bikes are popular in my country among youngsters as they want to go to some places on bike ride.'
✓ 'Bikes are popular in my country among young people because they want to go to places on bike rides.'
'Guest' is incorrect word choice here; likely intended 'most' or nothing — removed. 'Youngsters' is acceptable but 'young people' sounds more natural. 'As' can mean because but 'because' is clearer. 'Some places on bike ride' is ungrammatical: use 'places' and plural 'rides'. Also present simple is correct for general statements, but wording and noun forms needed correction. Suggestion: use appropriate nouns and plural forms and connectives: 'Bikes are popular... because they want to go to places on bike rides.'
× 'They usually do stunt with bike or may go to trip like to Ladakh.'
✓ 'They usually do stunts with bikes or may go on trips, for example to Ladakh.'
Several issues: 'do stunt' needs plural 'stunts' and collocation 'do stunts' is acceptable. 'With bike' requires plural or article: 'with bikes' or 'on their bikes' — 'with bikes' chosen. 'May go to trip' is incorrect; use 'go on trips'. 'Like to Ladakh' is ungrammatical; use 'for example to Ladakh' or 'to places like Ladakh.' Suggestion: use correct noun plurality, proper prepositions ('on trips', 'to Ladakh'), and phrase 'for example' or 'like' with correct structure.
