Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 56.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and clear: start with a direct topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific supporting details using correct grammar and linking words. Avoid repetition and unclear phrases (e.g., "the the third, the third presence" and "it lives in me"). Also correct tense and article use ("it was a gift from my grandparents" not "presence"). Aim for 2–4 sentences, with one coherent memory or reason why it was special.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. It was a small red bicycle that my grandparents gave me when I was six, and I rode it everywhere in my neighborhood. Because it was a gift, I have many happy memories of learning to balance and racing with friends, so it remains very special to me.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion first, then support it with two specific reasons using linking words. Fix grammar and word order, and avoid filler phrases. Use concrete examples (e.g., traffic congestion, health benefits, bike lanes) and connect ideas with linking words like "because" or "for example." Keep to 2–4 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bicycles are still popular, especially as people look for alternatives to heavy traffic. For example, many residents in Hanoi choose bikes for short trips because they are cheaper and healthier, and the city has started adding more bike lanes to encourage cycling.
× I really loved that bike because it's the the third, the third presence I have for my grandparents and it's been with me for throughout my childhood.
✓ I really loved that bike because it was the third present I received from my grandparents and it was with me throughout my childhood.
Errors: 'it's the the third, the third presence I have for my grandparents' uses incorrect present tense and wrong word choice 'presence' instead of 'present'; 'it's been with me for throughout my childhood' mixes tenses and has extra preposition 'for'. Correction uses past tense 'was' and 'received' to match 'I really loved' and replaces 'presence' with 'present'; remove 'for' before 'throughout'. Suggestion: use simple past for completed past actions and choose correct noun 'present'. Grammar problem type ID:10
× So yeah, it lives in me a lot with a lot of memories.
✓ So yeah, it brings back a lot of memories for me.
Original sentence 'it lives in me a lot with a lot of memories' is ungrammatical and awkward in English. Use a clear verb phrase 'brings back' plus object 'a lot of memories' and prepositional phrase 'for me'. Suggestion: express emotional resonance with idiomatic verbs like 'bring back' or 'hold'.

× Yes, of course, especially in these days when Hanoi is getting more and more vehicles so and they trying to and individuals in my cities are trying to change to riding bicycle for not for only like practicing.
✓ Yes, of course, especially these days when Hanoi has more and more vehicles, people in my city are trying to switch to riding bicycles not only for exercise.
Multiple errors: 'in these days' should be 'these days'; 'is getting more and more vehicles' is awkward — use 'has more and more vehicles'; 'so and they trying to and individuals in my cities are trying' has missing verbs and extra words — use 'people in my city are trying'; 'change to riding bicycle' should be 'switch to riding bicycles'; 'for not for only like practicing' is incorrect order — use 'not only for exercise'. Corrections use present simple and present continuous appropriately and fix noun plurality and word order. Suggestion: simplify sentence, ensure subject-verb agreement and correct preposition/order.
