Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Bạn trả lời quá ngắn và thì dùng sai (nên dùng quá khứ). Cần bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề rõ ràng, dùng thì quá khứ để nói về quá khứ, và thêm 1–2 chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ loại xe, ai tặng, hoặc bạn thường đi đâu). Hãy tránh lặp từ và giữ dưới 5 câu.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought me when I was eight, and I used to ride it to the park near my house every weekend.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Ngữ pháp và số ít/ số nhiều sai (should say 'they are' or 'bikes are' and 'country' singular). Câu nên bắt đầu trực tiếp nêu quan điểm, rồi giải thích với ví dụ cụ thể hoặc lý do, dùng liên từ để mạch lạc. Giữ 2–3 câu, tránh từ lặp và ngôn ngữ nói quá thân mật.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise, especially in cities where traffic is heavy.
× Yes, I have.
✓ Yes, I did.
The question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' is in the simple past. The student's reply 'Yes, I have.' uses the present perfect auxiliary 'have' incorrectly. Use the simple past auxiliary 'did' or the past form of the main verb. A correct short answer is 'Yes, I did.' Suggestion: match the tense of the question (simple past) by using 'did' or a past-tense response like 'Yes, I had a bike.'
× Yeah, it's very popular in my countries.
✓ Yeah, they're very popular in my country.
The student says 'it's very popular in my countries.' The subject 'bikes' in the question is plural, so the corresponding pronoun and verb should be plural: 'they're' (they are). Also 'countries' is incorrect because the speaker refers to their own country (singular) so use 'my country.' Suggestion: ensure pronoun/verb number matches the noun ('bikes' → 'they are') and use 'country' singular when referring to one's nation.
