Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Fix grammar and word choice, start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting reasons using a linking word (for example or because). Avoid redundancy and keep it concise.
Ví dụ: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country. For example, children often ride bikes for fun in their neighborhoods, but most adults prefer cars or buses for daily commuting because public infrastructure and long distances make cycling impractical.
× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child and I love to riding it.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child and I loved riding it.
This sentence mixes present tense 'have' with past time 'when I was a child' and uses an incorrect verb form 'to riding'. Use past simple 'had' to match the past time reference and 'loved' to keep tense consistent. Also use the gerund 'riding' without 'to' after 'love' when referring to activities (love + -ing). Suggestion: Use past simple for events in the past and use 'love/loved' + gerund (riding).
× I don't think so, It might be popular around the kids when they are playing with each other near their house, but bike doesn't really popular for public transport in my country.
✓ I don't think so. It might be popular among children when they play with one another near their houses, but bikes are not really popular for public transport in my country.
Multiple issues: 'around the kids' is awkward; use 'among children' (preposition and noun choice). 'When they are playing' is acceptable but simpler 'when they play' is natural. 'Near their house' should agree in number with 'children' so 'houses' or rephrase. 'Bike doesn't really popular' has two errors: subject-verb agreement and adjective use. Use plural 'bikes' with plural verb 'are' and the correct structure 'are not popular' (be + adjective). Also replace comma splice by separating sentences. Suggestions: use 'among children', match singular/plural consistently, use 'be + adjective' for describing popularity, and avoid run-on sentences.
