Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Thí sinh
That's a difficult question for me. I'm not familiar with it, but I guess they're not very popular because I live in the capital of my country and the traffic is busy here and it's quite challenging to drive a bike here. So I guess people usually don't purchase them because it's it can be dangerous to drive them.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 52.0Gợi ý: Be concise and directly answer the question first, then give one or two clear supporting details. Avoid fillers (uh, um) and repetitive phrases. Use correct grammar (past tense for childhood) and precise vocabulary (ride a bike, commute). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I hope to buy one soon after I move to Italy because riding a bike is a convenient way to commute to work and it’s faster than walking. My parents couldn't buy me one when I was young, so this will be my first bike.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear, direct opinion, then support it with specific reasons and a linking word (for example, because, therefore). Avoid repeating phrases and small hesitations. Use clearer vocabulary (ride a bike, heavy traffic, unsafe) and correct word forms.
Ví dụ: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country. Because I live in the capital, traffic is often heavy and roads can be unsafe for cyclists, so many people prefer cars or public transport. For example, poor cycling lanes and high traffic speed make riding a bike risky in my city.
× Unfortunately, no, I've never had a bike, but uh, uh, soon I'm gonna move to Italy and I hope I'll buy it in my future.
✓ Unfortunately, no, I've never had a bike, but I'm going to move to Italy soon and I hope I'll buy one in the future.
Uses informal 'gonna' and awkward phrase 'in my future'. Replace 'I'm gonna move' with standard future 'I'm going to move' and 'buy it in my future' with 'buy one in the future' to refer to a bike. Maintain future intention consistency.
× In my opinion, it's very interesting to drive a bike because it's easier to commuter job and also to provide you uh, faster speed and uh, also my parents give.
✓ In my opinion, it's very interesting to ride a bike because it's easier for commuting to work and it also gives you greater speed, and my parents also did.
Multiple issues: use 'ride' not 'drive' for bikes; 'easier to commuter job' is incorrect—use 'easier for commuting to work'; 'to provide you faster speed' should be 'it also gives you greater speed'; sentence end 'also my parents give' is incomplete—use 'my parents also did' or clarify what they gave. Corrections follow allowed problem types (11 Incorrect prepositions, 12 pronouns, 13 adjectives/adverbs) but primarily fix pronoun and word choice for clarity.
× Unfortunately, my parents didn't give me.
✓ Unfortunately, my parents didn't give me one.
Sentence is missing the object 'one' (a bike). Adding 'one' completes the past tense statement. The past tense 'didn't give' is correct; the issue was an omitted noun/pronoun.
× That's a difficult question for me.
✓ That's a difficult question for me.
The sentence is grammatically correct and fits present tense; no change needed.
× I'm not familiar with it, but I guess they're not very popular because I live in the capital of my country and the traffic is busy here and it's quite challenging to drive a bike here.
✓ I'm not familiar with them, but I guess bikes are not very popular because I live in the capital of my country where traffic is heavy, so it's quite challenging to ride a bike here.
Pronoun 'it' should refer to 'bikes' (plural), so use 'them'. 'Drive a bike' should be 'ride a bike'. 'Traffic is busy' is better as 'traffic is heavy' and combine sentences for clarity.
× So I guess people usually don't purchase them because it's it can be dangerous to drive them.
✓ So I guess people usually don't buy them because it can be dangerous to ride them.
Remove duplicated 'it' and use 'buy' instead of 'purchase' for natural speech. Use 'ride' for bicycles. The conjunction 'because' is fine but the clause needed tightening to avoid redundancy and pronoun/verb errors.
