Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar (subject-verb agreement and article use), add a specific supporting detail or example, and use a linking word to connect ideas. Keep it natural and concise (2–3 sentences).

× No, I didn't have any back when I was when I was a child.
✓ No, I didn't have any when I was a child.
The sentence repeats the phrase 'when I was' and uses 'any' without a noun; this causes redundancy and unclear reference. Correct by removing the repeated phrase and keeping 'any' with implied noun 'bikes' in casual speech or explicitly: 'any bikes.' Also maintain past tense 'didn't have' to match the time frame. Suggestion: say 'No, I didn't have any bikes when I was a child.' Please note: ensure the negative past construction 'didn't have' is followed by the noun or a clear pronoun.
× Yes, it's very popular in my country and especially we have sharing bicycle in our country.
✓ Yes, they're very popular in my country; especially we have bike-sharing services in my country.
The student uses 'it's' (singular) to refer to 'bikes' (plural) causing subject-verb disagreement. Also 'sharing bicycle' is an incorrect noun phrase order and singular; the correct term is 'bike-sharing' or 'sharing bicycles' or 'bike-sharing services.' Rephrase to match plural: 'they're' or reword sentence: 'Bikes are very popular in my country. We especially have bike-sharing services.' Ensure consistent plural forms and natural collocation.
