Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Ý tưởng tốt nhưng câu bị rối về ngữ pháp và lựa chọn từ. Cần trả lời trực tiếp, dùng cấu trúc rõ ràng và từ vựng phù hợp (ví dụ: “popular”, “convenient”, “short trips”). Nên dùng liên từ để nối ý (e.g. “however”, “for example”) và so sánh cụ thể giữa xe đạp và phương tiện khác.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are fairly popular, especially for short trips because they are cheap and convenient. For example, I often see students and workers cycling to school or nearby shops. However, in big cities many people prefer motorbikes or cars for faster travel.
× I used it almost very every weekend and I remember falling once but it was OK.
✓ I used it almost every weekend and I remember falling once, but it was OK.
The phrase 'almost very every weekend' is ungrammatical. Use 'almost every weekend' or 'very often' — not both together. Also add a comma before 'but' to join independent clauses. Suggestion: say 'almost every weekend' or 'very often' to be clear.
× Well, yes, I think by am I popular in my country because the hardship and convenient for short tips.
✓ Well, yes, I think bicycles are popular in my country because they are convenient for short trips and help people cope with hardship.
The original sentence has incorrect word order ('by am I popular'), wrong noun/verb choices and unclear phrases. Replace with a clear subject 'bicycles' and verb 'are popular'. Use 'convenient for short trips' not 'tips'. Clarify 'hardship' by saying 'help people cope with hardship' if that is intended.
× For example, I often see people riding bikes to work or students going to school, but in these cities many people prefer motorbikes or cars fast travel.
✓ For example, I often see people riding bikes to work or students going to school, but in many cities people prefer motorbikes or cars for faster travel.
Problems include article and preposition misuse and awkward word order: 'in these cities' → 'in many cities' is more natural, and 'cars fast travel' should be 'cars for faster travel'. Add 'for' before purpose and use comparative 'faster'.
