Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Сосредоточьтесь на чётком ответе на вопрос, используйте простое время прошедшего (I had) и логичную структуру: тема — поддержка — пример. Избегайте неясных фраз («he touched me», «with my child») и звуковых пауз. Добавьте связку (because/so) и конкретную деталь (когда и с кем вы катались).
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father was an avid cyclist, so he taught me to ride when I was about six. We often rode together in the park on weekends, which helped me become confident on two wheels.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Дайте ясное общее утверждение, затем конкретизируйте причину и приведите пример. Избегайте повторов («I think» несколько раз) и грамматических ошибок (используйте present simple: people ride). Используйте связки (because, for example, in particular) и завершите мысль логически.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in larger cities. For example, in Moscow many people commute by bike because there are dedicated cycle lanes and bike-sharing schemes. As a result, cycling has become a common and convenient way to get around.
× Yes, I have my father, he's a a great biker and he touched me and uh, I rode the bike a lot of time with my child.
✓ Yes, I did. My father is a great biker and he taught me, and I rode his bike many times when I was a child.
The student used incorrect pronouns and verb forms. 'I have my father' is wrong for past possession/experience; use 'I did' to answer 'Did you have...'. 'He's a great biker' is acceptable but should be 'My father is a great biker' for clarity. 'He touched me' is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'taught me'. 'I rode the bike a lot of time with my child' has wrong meaning and pronoun: should be 'I rode his bike many times when I was a child'. Suggestions: use correct pronouns (my, his) and appropriate verbs ('taught' not 'touched'), match past tense for childhood experiences and use correct time expressions ('many times', 'when I was a child').
× I think so because a lot of people ride a bike in my country, especially in my city.
✓ I think so because a lot of people ride bikes in my country, especially in my city.
The phrase 'ride a bike' is not wrong but 'ride bikes' is more natural when speaking generally. Use plural 'bikes' to indicate the activity in general. Also ensure simple present tense is used for habitual facts ('ride'). Suggestion: use plural nouns for general statements and keep simple present for habits.
× I love this and I live in Moscow is the capital of Russia and it's really popular.
✓ I love it. I live in Moscow, which is the capital of Russia, and cycling is really popular there.
Original sentence is a run-on with mixed clauses and incorrect reference ('I love this' unclear). Use a pronoun 'it' to refer to cycling, separate sentences and use a relative clause 'which is the capital of Russia' to add information about Moscow. Also clarify what 'it's really popular' refers to by saying 'cycling is really popular there'. Suggestions: break complex ideas into clear sentences, use relative clauses correctly, and ensure pronouns refer clearly to the intended noun.
× I think that a lot of people riding a bike here, and we have.
✓ I think that a lot of people ride bikes here.
'a lot of people riding a bike here, and we have' is ungrammatical: the participle form 'riding' needs an auxiliary or must be changed to simple present 'ride' for a statement of fact. The fragment 'and we have' is incomplete and unclear. Suggestion: use 'ride' for habitual actions and remove incomplete fragments; if intending to say 'we have many cyclists' say that explicitly ('and we have many cyclists').
