Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Give a more developed response: start with a direct topic sentence, then add 1–2 specific supporting details (when you got it, how often you used it, a memorable experience) using linking words. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences).
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was seven and used it almost every day to ride to the park and visit friends. Because the roads near my home were quiet, I learned to ride without training wheels within a week. I remember once racing my neighbor and falling off, which taught me to be more careful.
