Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Make your answer more natural and concise. Use a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid filler phrases like “I think” repeated, correct phrasing (“use bikes”, “avoid traffic”), and reduce repetition.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. For example, many people use bikes to commute because they are cheaper and faster in heavy traffic, so cycling helps them avoid congestion.
× 'Yes, I have a bike.'
✓ 'Yes, I had a bike.'
'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' is a past-time question, so the answer should use past tense. Using present tense 'have' is incorrect for a past situation. Suggestion: use past simple 'had' for completed past events.'
× 'When I was child it was black and white color white.'
✓ 'When I was a child, it was black and white.'
'When I was child' is missing the article 'a' (should be 'a child'), and 'black and white color white' is ungrammatical and repetitive. Correct structure: 'When I was a child, it was black and white.' Suggestion: include the article and use a single clear adjective phrase.'
× 'Yes, I think bikes are very popular in in our country because I think nowadays most people use bike for their work to to remove the crowd.'
✓ 'Yes, I think bikes are very popular in our country because nowadays most people use bikes for work to avoid crowds.'
'in in' and 'to to' are repeated words (typos). 'Use bike' should be plural 'use bikes' to match plural subject 'most people' (subject-verb/number agreement), which touches on plural usage but primarily is present tense habitual — use present simple correctly: 'use bikes'. 'for their work' is awkward, better 'for work'. 'to remove the crowd' is incorrect collocation; use 'to avoid crowds.' Suggestion: remove duplicates, use plural 'bikes', simplify 'for work', and replace 'remove the crowd' with 'avoid crowds.'
× 'So that's why it's very popular.'
✓ 'So that's why they are very popular.'
'It' refers to singular noun; context talks about 'bikes' (plural), so pronoun and verb should match plural: 'they are' or restructure to 'So bikes are very popular.' Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree with their antecedents in number.'
