Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Điểm yếu chính: ngữ pháp (thời quá khứ), cách diễn đạt không tự nhiên, nhiều lỗi từ vựng và cấu trúc câu, và câu quá dài/luộm thuộm. Cần trả lời trực tiếp với câu chủ đề ở quá khứ, dùng thì phù hợp, loại bỏ từ thừa và làm rõ thông tin (ai, khi nào, mô tả ngắn). Ví dụ cải thiện nên gồm 2–3 câu, dùng từ mô tả cụ thể và nối hợp lý.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I received a bright red bicycle from my father for my tenth birthday. It was small but sturdy, and I used it to ride to school and around the neighborhood every day.

Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Bạn trả lời trực tiếp và có lý do, nhưng cần cải thiện ngữ pháp số nhiều/đếm được, dùng liên từ để làm mạch lạc, tránh tiếng 'uh' và lặp từ. Thêm một ví dụ cụ thể hoặc so sánh sẽ giúp câu trả lời thuyết phục hơn. Giữ độ dài 2–3 câu rõ ràng.

× Actually, yes, when I was born I have a nice bicycle, which is the appearance that my my father gave me all my 10th birthday.
✓ Actually, yes. When I was young I had a nice bicycle that my father gave me for my tenth birthday.
Contains multiple errors: wrong tense 'when I was born I have' should be past 'When I was young I had' because one cannot 'have' a bicycle at birth; 'which is the appearance that' is incorrect relative clause and word choice — use 'that' to introduce the object given; 'my my' is repetition; 'all my 10th birthday' is ungrammatical — use 'for my tenth birthday'. Suggestion: keep past tense for past possessions, use 'that' for defining relative clauses, remove duplicate words, and use 'for' + ordinal number for occasions.
× Yes, I think bicycle is one of the most common transportation in my country.
✓ Yes, I think bicycles are one of the most common forms of transportation in my country.
Errors: 'bicycle' should be plural 'bicycles' when speaking generally; subject-verb agreement requires plural 'are'; 'one of the most common transportation' mixes countable and uncountable forms — use 'forms of transportation' or 'means of transport'. Suggestion: use plural nouns for general statements and pair 'one of the' with a plural noun phrase.
× You know, bicycle is very cheap and easy to ride, so many people choose uh, this transportation to get around the city.
✓ You know, bicycles are very cheap and easy to ride, so many people choose this form of transportation to get around the city.
Errors: 'bicycle is' should be 'bicycles are' for a general statement (plural and agreement); 'this transportation' is awkward — use 'this form of transportation' or 'this mode of transport'. Suggestion: use plural + plural verb for general truths and prefer 'form/mode of transportation' when referring to a type of transport.
