Điểm: 85.0Gợi ý: Your answer is natural, relevant and gives a clear personal detail. To improve, make verb tenses consistent (use past tense throughout), shorten slightly to avoid redundancy, and add one specific vivid detail to enrich the response. Keep to a maximum of about 3–4 sentences and use a linking word if you add another detail.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. My parents bought me a very small pink bicycle when I was about three, and I learned to ride it every afternoon in front of our house. Because the street was quiet, I gained confidence quickly and could ride without training wheels by the time I was four.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Your answer addresses the question but has grammar and clarity problems and an unclear final phrase. Improve by using full sentences, correct grammar (e.g. "bikes are easy to get"), and add one clear reason with a linking word. Also replace unclear phrases like "not pick" with a precise idea (e.g. "most people know how to ride"). Aim for 2–3 concise sentences.

× I have a very small pink bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was about 3 or 4, and I learned to ride in front of my house every day.
✓ I had a very small pink bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was about three or four, and I learned to ride it in front of my house every day.
This sentence describes past events, so the present tense 'have' should be 'had' to match past narrative (Past tense issue, ID 5). Also, when mentioning ages in past narrative, writing numbers as words is stylistically better (not required grammatically). Additionally, the verb 'learned to ride' needs an object pronoun 'it' to clearly refer to the bicycle (Incorrect use of pronouns, ID 12). Use consistent past tense and include the object to avoid ambiguity. Suggestion: keep past tense throughout and add 'it' after 'ride'.
× Yes, because for me, as a citizen of my country, bike is easier to get because it's very cheap and.
✓ Yes. For me, as a citizen of my country, a bike is easy to get because it is very cheap.
This sentence has multiple issues: the noun 'bike' needs an article 'a' (Article errors, ID 22). The phrase 'is easier to get' compares to something unspecified; 'is easy to get' is clearer here (Incorrect comparison/sentence structure, ID 25/26). The sentence ended with 'and.' which is incomplete; remove the dangling conjunction (Sentence structure error, ID 26). Also use 'it is' instead of the contraction at sentence start for clarity. Suggestion: add the article 'a', change 'easier to get' to 'easy to get', and remove the stray 'and'.
× Almost everyone will know how to ride a bike, not pick.
✓ Almost everyone knows how to ride a bike.
The modal 'will know' is acceptable for future certainty but here a general present-tense statement about people is better expressed with the simple present 'knows' (Present tense issue, ID 6). The phrase 'not pick' is incorrect and unclear; likely a mistaken word—remove it. Also ensure subject-verb agreement: 'everyone' takes singular verb 'knows' (Subject-verb agreement, ID 27). Suggestion: use 'Almost everyone knows how to ride a bike.'
