Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be concise and correct grammar. Give a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons with linking words (for example, because / therefore). Use accurate words (e.g., 'cheap' not 'trip') and avoid repetition. Keep to fewer than five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in Canada. There are many dedicated bike lanes and paths, so many people commute by bike for short trips because it is cheap and convenient.
× My father gave it for me as a birthday gift.
✓ My father gave it to me as a birthday gift.
The correct preposition with 'gave' when indicating recipient is 'to', not 'for'. Use 'gave X to someone'. Replace 'for me' with 'to me' to convey the intended meaning. Suggestion: Practice verbs of giving with the pattern 'give something to someone'.
× I really liked it and I really enjoyed to write Kate Manila's kid.
✓ I really liked it and I really enjoyed riding it like Kate Manila's kid.
The verb 'enjoy' must be followed by a gerund (-ing), not an infinitive. Also the original phrase is unclear: likely intended 'riding it' and comparing to 'Kate Manila's kid'. Use 'enjoyed riding it' to be grammatical and clearer. Suggestion: After 'enjoy', always use verb+ing (e.g., 'enjoy reading', 'enjoy swimming').
× because in Canada there are a lot of bicycle roads on the on many areas.
✓ because in Canada there are a lot of bicycle roads in many areas.
The phrase 'on the on many areas' is ungrammatical. Use the preposition 'in' with 'many areas' to indicate locations. Remove duplicated words and 'the'. Suggestion: Use 'in many areas' or 'in many parts of the country' for clarity.
× So people commute with bicycles because it's trip and convenient.
✓ So people commute by bicycle because it's cheap and convenient.
'Trip' is incorrect here; likely intended 'cheap'. Also use 'commute by bicycle' (or 'commute by bike') rather than 'commute with bicycles'. 'Cheap' is an adjective describing cost, and 'convenient' correctly describes ease. Ensure adjective order and word choice. Suggestion: Use 'commute by bike' and pair adjectives appropriately (e.g., 'cheap and convenient').
