Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Thí sinh
In my opinion, bicycles aren't very popular in my country because most people prefer cars or motorbikes for convenience, although good public transport and the busy routes make cycles, that's all.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Сфокусируйтесь на чёткой структуре ответа: начните с прямого утверждения, затем добавьте 1–2 конкретных подробности (возраст, цвет, особенности) и завершите коротким итогом. Избегайте повторов, заполнителей («uh», «umm») и незаконченных фраз. Используйте связки (for example, because, then) чтобы сделать ответ связным и логичным.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got a large red bike with training wheels when I was about five, and I loved riding it to the park every weekend. Because it was sturdy and comfortable, I often rode it with my friends until I learned to ride without the training wheels.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Сконцентрируйтесь на логической организации: начинайте с прямого ответа (yes/no/partly), затем приведите 2 конкретные причины и завершите кратким выводом. Используйте связки (because, however, therefore) и конкретные примеры (например, пробки, стоимость топлива, инфраструктура). Избегайте общих и неясных фраз, завершайте мысль полностью.
Ví dụ: I don't think bicycles are very popular in my country. Because most people find cars and motorbikes more convenient for long distances and daily commuting, and the roads are often busy which makes cycling less safe. However, cycling is more common in areas with good bike lanes and near parks, so its popularity varies by location.
× Umm, and then I'm playing with my.
✓ Umm, and then I was playing with mine.
The student is recounting a past event, so a past tense form is required rather than present continuous. 'I'm playing' is present continuous; replace with 'I was playing'. Also the sentence ends with 'my', an incomplete possessive pronoun; use 'mine' or a noun ('my friends'). Suggestion: use past continuous 'I was playing' and complete the possessive: 'I was playing with my friend' or 'I was playing with mine.'
× It was read and uh, had training wheels and I loved riding it to the park.
✓ It was red and had training wheels, and I loved riding it to the park.
The color word 'red' was misspelled as 'read'. This is a spelling error affecting adjective use. Also combine clauses with commas for clarity. Suggestion: check spelling for adjectives and use punctuation to separate clauses.
× Yes, I had the back yes, I had the big bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had the bike; yes, I had a big bike when I was a child.
The original 'the back' appears to be a mispronunciation or typo; 'the bike' or 'a big bike' is correct. Articles must match singular nouns. Suggestion: use appropriate article 'a' with 'big bike' and avoid repeating redundant phrases.
× In my opinion, bicycles aren't very popular in my country because most people prefer cars or motorbikes for convenience, although good public transport and the busy routes make cycles, that's all.
✓ In my opinion, bicycles aren't very popular in my country because most people prefer cars or motorbikes for convenience, although good public transport and busy roads make cycling less necessary.
The phrase 'make cycles' is incorrect: 'make cycling less necessary' or 'make bicycles less necessary' fits meaning. 'Busy routes' is awkward; 'busy roads' is clearer. Also combine clauses to avoid the fragment 'that's all.' Suggestion: use noun or gerund correctly ('cycling' or 'bicycles') and ensure sentence completes the idea.
