Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Answer directly, minimize hesitations, use clearer grammar and vocabulary, and give one specific reason or example. Use linking words (for example, because) and correct phrases (e.g., "almost everyone" not "every people"). Keep it to two or three short sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in Japan because they are convenient and inexpensive. For example, many people cycle to the station or to shops in my neighborhood, especially students and office workers.
× Yes, I have, because when I was a child my parents bought me the bike.
✓ Yes, I did, because when I was a child my parents bought me a bike.
The question asked about the past (Did you have...), so the student should use the past auxiliary 'did' rather than 'have'. Also, 'the bike' is too specific; use 'a bike' to indicate any bike. Suggestion: answer past-tense questions with past auxiliary verbs (Did + subject + base verb) and use indefinite article when referring to something nonspecific.
× Actually, umm, every people can ride bicycle because uh, in Japan this transportation is very common and also my neighborhood use to ride bicycle.
✓ Actually, almost everyone can ride a bicycle because in Japan this mode of transportation is very common and people in my neighborhood also ride bicycles.
Multiple errors addressed but matching allowed types: 'every people' is incorrect singular/plural usage; use 'everyone' or 'every person'. 'Ride bicycle' needs articles and plural form: 'ride a bicycle' or 'ride bicycles'. 'My neighborhood use to ride' has subject-verb agreement and wrong structure; use 'people in my neighborhood also ride bicycles'. Suggestions: use 'everyone' for general statements, include articles with 'bicycle' (a bicycle) or use plural 'bicycles' for general habits, and ensure subject-verb agreement (people + plural verb).
