Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two specific supporting details (age, who gave it to you, how often you rode it). Keep it natural and avoid repetition. Use linking words like 'and' or 'when' to connect ideas. Limit your answer to up to five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was seven, and I rode it to visit friends every afternoon. It was a small red bicycle with a basket, which made it very special to me.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Your answer gives an opinion but has hesitations, repetition and lacks specific supporting details. Begin with a clear topic sentence (e.g. 'Yes, I think bikes are popular...'), then explain why and give an example or contrast. Use linking words such as 'because', 'for example' or 'however'. Also correct small grammar issues (remove extra 'is' and duplicate words). Keep it concise (no more than five sentences).
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country, especially among young people, because cycling is cheap and good exercise. For example, many students cycle to university, while older adults tend to prefer cars or public transport due to comfort and convenience.
× I think is I think bikes are popular with young people but not for the older older people.
✓ I think bikes are popular with young people but not with older people.
The original sentence includes an extra 'is' and a repeated word 'older', which are errors in sentence structure and word choice. Remove the stray 'is' and duplicate 'older'. Also change 'not for the older older people' to 'not with older people' to use the correct preposition for expressing who finds bikes less popular. Suggestion: say 'I think bikes are popular with young people but not with older people.' This keeps present simple tense and correct preposition use.
