Điểm: 54.0Gợi ý: Be direct, use correct tense and grammar, avoid fillers, and give one or two supporting details. Start with a clear topic sentence (past tense), then add concise specifics (what kind, why you liked it). Limit to 2–4 sentences and use linking words if needed.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a bright red mountain bike that my parents bought me for my eighth birthday, and I loved it because it was fast and sturdy. I spent many afternoons riding with friends around the neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 46.0Gợi ý: Answer directly, use clearer reasons and specific examples, avoid fillers and repetition. Use linking words (for example, however, because) to present your opinion and supporting details. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and correct phrasing (e.g., 'too tired to ride bikes').
Ví dụ: Not very popular. Nowadays many people prefer cars or motorbikes because they are faster and more comfortable for commuting. For example, in big cities long distances and traffic make cycling less common for adults.
× Of course I do.
✓ Of course I did.
The question asks about the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the verb should be in past tense. 'Do' is present tense; change to 'did' to match the past time reference. Suggestion: use past tense verbs to answer past-tense questions.'
× I really like to riding that bike.
✓ I really liked riding that bike.
Two issues: after 'like' you can use either 'to ride' or 'riding', but not 'to riding'. Also the speaker refers to childhood, so past tense 'liked' is appropriate. Suggestion: choose 'liked riding' or 'liked to ride' for past habit.'
× I mean, it's the really expensive one.
✓ I mean, it was the really expensive one.
The sentence needs past tense 'was' to match the timeframe. Also 'the really expensive one' is acceptable, but using past tense keeps consistency with 'childhood'. Suggestion: maintain past tense throughout the response.'
× Not really because, uh, nowadays people are going out with uh, different kind of vehicles.
✓ Not really, because nowadays people go out using different kinds of vehicles.
The original has awkward progressive 'are going out with' and incorrect quantifier 'different kind of vehicles' (singular 'kind' with plural 'vehicles'). Use simple present 'people go out' for general statements and 'different kinds of vehicles' to match plural. Suggestion: use simple present for general truths and match 'kinds' with plural nouns.'
× They are not using bikes because uh, uh, it's really, they are really tired to riding the bikes, Yeah.
✓ They do not use bikes because they're really tired of riding them.
Multiple issues: 'are not using' implies temporary action; simple present 'do not use' is better for general habit. 'It's really' is unclear and redundant. Correct preposition is 'tired of', not 'tired to'. 'Riding the bikes' should be 'riding them' to avoid repetition and use correct pronoun agreement. Suggestion: use 'tired of' plus gerund, prefer simple present for habits, and use pronouns to avoid repetition.'
