Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence saying whether you had a bike, then give one or two specific supporting details. Reduce fillers (uh, umm) and avoid repeating phrases. Use linking words such as "because" or "so" correctly and keep sentences to no more than five. Also correct grammar (e.g. say "I didn't" or "I didn't have one").
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my hometown is very hilly and the roads were steep. As a result, cycling was difficult and unsafe, so most people walked or used public transport instead.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and give a clear reason or example. Reduce hesitation and repetition. Use specific vocabulary like "shared bikes" or "dockless bike-sharing" and a linking phrase such as "for example" or "for instance". Explain briefly how these services changed popularity or usage.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular now, especially because of the rise of dockless shared bikes about five years ago. For example, companies introduced mobile-app rental bikes that made short trips cheap and convenient, and this led many people to cycle for commuting and errands.
× Well, hmm, it didn't uh, because my hometown is located in the hill area, so, umm, the road is not suitable for me to uh, for me, uh, to cycling, umm, it's a very hard work before.
✓ Well, hmm, I didn't, uh, because my hometown is located in a hilly area, so, umm, the roads were not suitable for me to, uh, cycle; umm, it was very hard work before.
Errors: incorrect verb (didn't without main verb), incorrect preposition and noun forms ('hill area' -> 'hilly area'), incorrect use of infinitive with 'to cycling' (should be 'to cycle'), plural agreement for 'road' -> 'roads', and unnatural phrase 'a very hard work' (should be 'very hard work' or 'a lot of hard work'). Suggestion: Use a full verb after 'didn't' (I didn't have one), use 'hilly area' to describe terrain, use 'cycle' after 'to', make count nouns plural when speaking generally ('roads were'), and use uncountable 'very hard work' or 'a lot of hard work'. Keep tense consistent (past) throughout.
× Of course, you know about uh, uh, five years ago. I remember the, the shell, the uh, mobile, mobile bike, umm, in the China umm, and you know, the public could share the bike, umm, and the rent.
✓ Of course. About five years ago, I remember the bike-sharing services, the mobile bike apps in China, and you know, the public could share bikes and rent them.
Errors: awkward pronoun and filler placement and incorrect article use ('in the China' should be 'in China'); plural/singular mismatch ('the public could share the bike' -> 'share bikes') and unclear noun phrases ('the shell' unclear). Suggestions: Remove unnecessary fillers, place time expression at the start ('About five years ago'), use the correct country name form ('in China'), use plural for general items ('bikes'), and include the object for 'rent' ('rent them').
