Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Ответ слишком общий и неструктурирован. Стоит начать с чёткой тематической фразы, затем добавить 1–2 конкретных деталей (например, какой это был велосипед, кто подарил его, что вы делали на нём). Избегайте заполнителей типа "Umm" и не повторяйте информацию. Используйте связующее слово, если добавляете вторую мысль (например, "also" или "when").
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought me for my sixth birthday. It helped me learn balance, and I used to ride it to the park every weekend.

Ví dụ: Not really. I think cars are more popular because public roads and weather make driving more convenient. For example, many families prefer to drive to work or school instead of cycling, especially during the rainy season.
× Of course I had a bike that I think every child had a bike. Umm.
✓ Of course I had a bike; I think every child had one.
The original repeats 'a bike' unnecessarily and uses 'that' to link clauses awkwardly. This is a singular/plural and redundancy issue. Use a pronoun 'one' to refer back to 'a bike' and connect clauses with a semicolon or a conjunction. Suggestion: avoid repeating the same noun; replace the second noun with 'one' or restructure the sentence.
× Actually, I don't think that bikes in my country are very popular because some people prefer ride a car instance of bike.
✓ Actually, I don't think bikes in my country are very popular because some people prefer to drive a car instead of a bike.
Multiple errors: missing infinitive marker 'to' before the verb 'drive' and wrong verb choice 'ride' for cars; also incorrect phrase 'instance of' should be 'instead of'. The main grammar problem types are incorrect use of prepositions/phrases and verb form. Use 'prefer to do X' or 'prefer doing X' and the correct preposition 'instead of'. Also use 'drive a car' rather than 'ride a car'.
