Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Correct grammar and make the reply concise and coherent. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Make your opinion clear and provide specific reasons with linking words. Start with a direct topic sentence stating whether bikes are popular, then add 1–2 concrete reasons (e.g., economy, infrastructure, weather) and a brief comparison with cars. Avoid unclear phrases like “those people who can.”
Ví dụ: Not really — cars are more popular in my country. This is mainly because many people can afford cars now and public roads favor motor vehicles, so bikes are mostly used by younger people or delivery workers rather than as a common family transport.

✓ Of course I had a bike when I was a child. Growing up with my friends, I was very excited to ride bicycles, especially on rough roads.
The auxiliary 'did' should not be used with the past simple main verb 'had'. Use either 'I did have' for emphasis or the simple past 'I had'. The original sentence also contains a run-on structure. Split into two sentences and remove 'young' (unnecessary) to be more natural. Suggestion: use 'Of course I had a bike' or 'I did have a bike' for emphasis and separate clauses with a period or conjunction.
× I think more than bikes. Cars are more popular in my country because bikes are usually purchased by those people who can.
✓ I think cars are more popular than bikes in my country because bikes are usually purchased only by people who cannot afford cars.
The original first fragment 'I think more than bikes.' is incomplete and misorders the comparison. Use 'X is more popular than Y'. Also the second clause 'purchased by those people who can' is vague and incorrect; likely meant 'who cannot' (afford cars). Revise to clarify comparison and complete the idea. Ensure comparative structure 'cars are more popular than bikes' and provide logical completion 'people who cannot afford cars'.}]} }}
