Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Говоря о прошлом, используйте правильные времена (past simple) и избегайте повторов. Дайте краткое основное предложение, затем уточните детали: кто подарил, сколько вам было, как часто вы ездили и почему это было важно. Также работайте над связностью (убрать лишние «and I really and I was really»).
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My grandmother bought it for me when I was ten, and I was so happy because it had been my dream. I used to ride it every day during the summer to visit friends and explore the neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Избегайте неуверенных вводных (uh, to be frank) и исправляйте грамматические ошибки (use 'in my city they are popular' and 'young people are keen on'). Структурируйте ответ: краткий общий ответ, затем причины с логическими связками и конкретным примером. Употребляйте связки (for example, because, therefore) для связности.
Ví dụ: I'm not sure about the whole country, but in my city bicycles are very popular. This is because many young people prefer them to avoid traffic jams and save money. For example, students often cycle to university since it's faster and more convenient than driving.
× Yes, I have a bike.
✓ Yes, I had a bike.
The question asks about possession in the past (when you were a child), so the past tense should be used. Use 'had' for past possession instead of 'have'. Suggestion: match verb tense to time expressions (when I was a child -> past).
× My grandmother bought it for me when I was 10 and I really and I was really happy because it was my dream and I ride my bike every day, every summer.
✓ My grandmother bought it for me when I was 10, and I was really happy because it was my dream; I rode my bike every day every summer.
Multiple past-tense events are described, so past simple should be used consistently. 'I really and I was really happy' is redundant; remove duplication. 'I ride my bike every day, every summer' refers to habitual past action during childhood, so use 'rode' not 'ride'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent, remove duplicate words, and use commas or semicolons to join related clauses. Grammar problem types: 5 (Past tense issue) and 26 (Sentence structure errors) apply, but corrected here under past tense.
× Uh, to be frank, I don't know about my country, but it my city they are really popular because now, umm, a lot of young generation really keen on riding bike in my city to get to their destination really fast without traffic jams.
✓ Uh, to be frank, I don't know about my country, but in my city they are really popular because now a lot of young people are really keen on riding bikes to get to their destinations quickly without traffic jams.
Several issues: missing preposition 'in' before 'my city' (preposition error), incorrect noun phrase 'young generation' (use 'young people'), missing auxiliary 'are' for present continuous/habitual 'are really keen' (third person plural agreement), plural forms 'bikes' and 'destinations' needed, and adverb placement 'quickly' preferred over 'really fast'. Also remove filler words and duplicate location phrases. Suggestion: use 'in my city', use plural nouns and correct verb forms, and place adverbs appropriately.
