Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details linked logically. Avoid filler words (uh, yes repeated) and correct awkward phrasing (e.g. "very progressive for my ride"). Use linking words like "so" or "because" to connect ideas. Keep it under 4–5 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes. I had a bike when I was in elementary school. After I got it, I could go farther and visit friends on my own, so it gave me much more independence. For example, I often rode to the park after school instead of waiting for my parents.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and organize reasons with clear linking words. Correct grammar and vocabulary (e.g. "cars are expensive", "curb" unclear—use "city center" or "streets"), and give specific examples or comparisons. Limit to 2–4 sentences and avoid repetition.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in cities. Many people cycle in the city center because cars, fuel and taxis are expensive, and cycling is cheaper and often faster in traffic. For example, students and office workers commonly ride bikes for short commutes.
× Yes, I, yes, uh, I had a bike when I was in elementary school.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was in elementary school.
The original sentence contains filler words and repetition that disrupt fluency but the main verb is correctly in the past tense. Remove redundant fillers ('I, yes, uh, I') to produce a clear past-tense statement that matches the time frame 'when I was in elementary school.' Suggestion: practice concise answers and avoid fillers.
× When I got it, I went to anywhere, uh, compared to before having a bicycle.
✓ When I got it, I went anywhere I wanted compared to before I had a bicycle.
The phrase 'went to anywhere' is ungrammatical; 'anywhere' does not require 'to' after 'went' when implying 'go to any place.' 'Before having a bicycle' is awkward; use past simple 'before I had a bicycle.' Also add 'I wanted' to clarify intent. Suggestion: use 'went anywhere I wanted' and keep verbs in past simple for completed past events.
× So it's a very progressive for my ride.
✓ So it really improved my riding.
'Progressive' is the wrong word here; the speaker intends to say the bicycle improved their ability or experience. Use 'improved' (verb) and 'my riding' (noun phrase). Also change 'it's' to past reference or present perfect depending on context; here present perfect 'really improved' or past simple 'improved' is appropriate. Suggestion: choose verbs that match the intended meaning (improve) and correct noun phrase ('my riding').
× Yes, many people have a bike in the downtown and here in downtown there are the curb.
✓ Yes, many people have bikes in the downtown, and here downtown there are curbs.
'A bike' should be plural 'bikes' when referring to many people. 'The downtown' can be 'downtown' or 'the downtown'; consistency matters. 'There are the curb' is incorrect: 'curb' should be plural 'curbs' and does not need the definite article 'the' in this context. Suggestion: use plural nouns when referring to multiple items and ensure article use matches count and specificity.
× The having car is very cost of having care is very very expensive and like a taxis and some.
✓ Owning a car is very expensive here, so people often use taxis and other options.
The original sentence has several pronoun and noun phrase errors: 'The having car' and 'cost of having care' are ungrammatical. Use 'Owning a car' (gerund phrase) as the subject. 'Is very very expensive' can be simplified to 'is very expensive.' 'Like a taxis and some' is unclear; rephrase as 'so people often use taxis and other options.' Suggestion: use clear subject phrases (owning a car) and simpler sentence structure to express cost and alternatives.
