Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar, clarity and coherence. Start with a clear topic sentence directly answering the question, then give 1–2 specific supporting details using correct tense and linking words. Correct common errors: use past tense ('didn't have'), possessive/number agreement ('my father only had one job' or 'my family wasn't well off'), and avoid filler words. Keep to no more than 3–4 sentences.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family wasn’t well off. My father was the only person working, so we had to prioritize essentials like food and school supplies. As a result, buying a bicycle wasn’t possible for us then.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Make the answer more natural and organized: begin with a direct topic sentence, then give specific examples and use linking words for coherence. Fix phrasing and word order (e.g., 'bicycles are commonly used for transportation'). Provide a short reason or comparison to strengthen the response. Limit to 2–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country. They are commonly used for daily transportation, such as going to school and commuting to work, and many people also ride them for exercise and leisure because they are affordable and convenient.
× As far as I remember, I don't have a bike when I was a child.
✓ As far as I remember, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
The sentence mixes present simple 'don't have' with past time expression 'when I was a child'. Use past tense 'didn't have' to match the past context. Suggestion: use past tense consistently for past time references (didn't have).
× It is because we are less fortunate that time.
✓ It is because we were less fortunate at that time.
Time reference is past, so use past tense 'were' not 'are'. Also 'that time' should be 'at that time' for correct preposition and 'less fortunate' is fine as a comparative state. Suggestion: use 'were' and 'at that time' to indicate past condition.
× Umm, my father only have a job.
✓ Umm, my father only had a job.
Subject 'my father' is singular, so in present would be 'has', but context is past, so use past singular 'had'. Also 'only' placement is fine. Suggestion: choose correct tense and verb form: 'had'.
× That is only a good for.
✓ That was not much; it was only one job to support us.
Original is ungrammatical and unclear. To express intended meaning (the single job wasn't enough), rephrase the sentence. Use past tense 'was' for past context and provide clear noun phrase. Suggestion: clarify meaning by specifying what 'good' refers to and use past tense.
× Absolutely yes. In our country bicycles are well known using for umm transportation, to go to school and to work aside from leisure purposes and.
✓ Absolutely yes. In our country bicycles are well known and are used for transportation, to go to school, and to go to work, as well as for leisure purposes.
The phrase 'well known using for' is incorrect. Use passive 'are used for' to indicate purpose. Also maintain parallel structure in the list and end sentence properly. 'Are' matches present general truth. Suggestion: use 'are used for' and keep items parallel: 'for transportation, to go to school, and to go to work, as well as for leisure purposes.'
