Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and incorrect phrasing (e.g. "I'm curious" → "I was curious", "cure my time" → "pass the time"). Use correct tense consistency and smoother connectors like "because" or "so".
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I was very curious about cycling as a child, so I often rode my bike with friends around the neighborhood. It felt relaxing and was a great way to pass the time after school.

× Yes, because when I was a child, I'm curious.
✓ Yes, because when I was a child, I was curious.
The sentence mixes past context 'when I was a child' with present tense 'I'm curious'. Use past tense 'was' to match the time frame. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent by using 'I was curious' for past situations.
× I was curious about it and I liked the riding with my friends.
✓ I was curious about it and I liked riding with my friends.
The phrase 'the riding' incorrectly uses the definite article and a noun where a gerund without 'the' is natural. Use 'riding' (gerund) without 'the'. Also 'liked riding with my friends' is the typical collocation.
× It was relaxing and it was a great way to cure my time.
✓ It was relaxing and it was a great way to pass the time.
'Cure my time' is incorrect English; the idiom is 'pass the time' meaning to spend time enjoyably. Replace 'cure my time' with 'pass the time' to convey the intended meaning.
× Absolutely not because our country have has a large amount of person so people always go to work by subway or by car.
✓ Absolutely not, because our country has a large population, so people usually go to work by subway or by car.
Multiple issues: 'have has' is erroneous duplication; choose 'has' for singular subject 'our country' (subject-verb agreement). 'a large amount of person' is ungrammatical—use 'a large population' or 'many people'. 'always' can be replaced with 'usually' for natural speech. Suggestion: use 'has a large population' and correct verb form.
× The back isn't a property.
✓ Bicycles aren't common property.
'The back isn't a property' is unclear and uses incorrect nouns/articles. Likely intended meaning: bikes are not considered common property or not widely owned. A clearer sentence: 'Bicycles aren't commonly owned' or 'Bicycles aren't common property.' Use appropriate noun ('bicycles') and adjective phrase ('common property' or 'commonly owned').
