Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Correct the grammar and make the response more natural and slightly longer (1–3 sentences). Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then add a brief specific detail (where you rode it or a memory) using a linking word.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it around my neighborhood every afternoon, and it was my main way to visit friends and explore nearby parks.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Avoid filler sounds and use complete, natural sentences. Begin with a direct opinion, then give specific reasons and link them with connecting words (for example, because/so/therefore). Keep it concise (1–3 sentences).
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people cycle for exercise and leisure. In addition, they are an affordable and eco-friendly way to get around in cities.
× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The student used present tense 'have' with a past time expression 'when I was a child'. The tense should be past simple 'had' to match the past context. Suggestion: use past simple for actions or states that occurred in the past (e.g., 'I had', 'I played').
× I Yeah, because they use it for health and for fun.
✓ Yes. People use bikes for health and for fun.
The original sentence has 'I Yeah' (awkward fragment) and unclear pronoun reference: 'they use it' is vague because 'they' and 'it' refer inconsistently. Replacing with 'People use bikes' makes the subject clear and matches plural 'bikes'. Also begin with 'Yes' as a direct answer. Suggestion: answer succinctly then give a clear subject, e.g., 'Yes. People use bikes for health and for fun.'
