Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Thí sinh
At my country we don't have places to ride bikes. We have so much traffic jam and so many car pollution. We have so many cars and so because of the so much cars we don't have any places to ride bikes. And it's so dangerous to ride bikes 'cause you can get hit by a car while riding a bike in my country. So bikes are not popular in my account.

Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar and clarity: start with a clear topic sentence, use correct past tense and subject-verb agreement, and avoid redundancy. Add one or two brief supporting reasons with linking words. Keep it under five sentences.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I never learned to ride because no one taught me, and I was afraid of falling. As a result, I never took the time to practice, so I never became comfortable riding one.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Organize the answer with a clear topic sentence and concise supporting details. Use correct prepositions and singular/plural forms, and include linking words (for example, because, therefore). Provide specific examples or consequences to support your view.
Ví dụ: Bikes are not very popular in my country. Because cities are crowded and traffic is heavy, there are few safe bike lanes, so cycling can be dangerous. For example, many roads lack separate bike paths, and cyclists risk being hit by cars, which discourages people from riding.
× No, it did not have a bike when I was child 'cause I don't know how to ride a bike and no one had learned me that before and I'm scared to fall from bikes so I didn't even take time to learn it.
✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a child because I did not know how to ride and no one had taught me before, and I was scared of falling from bikes, so I didn't take the time to learn.
Multiple issues: subject-verb and pronoun placement ('it did not have a bike' should be 'I did not have a bike'); missing article ('a child'); incorrect tense consistency ('don't know' should match past 'did not know'); incorrect verb form and grammar ('had learned me' is wrong — use 'had taught me'); awkward phrase 'take time to learn' corrected to 'take the time to learn'; and informal 'cause' replaced with 'because'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent (past for childhood), use correct verb patterns (teach someone), include articles and clearer connectors.
× At my country we don't have places to ride bikes.
✓ In my country we don't have places to ride bikes.
Use 'in' with countries, not 'at'. Suggestion: use 'in my country' for location within a country.
× We have so much traffic jam and so many car pollution.
✓ We have so much traffic and so much car pollution.
'Traffic jam' is a countable event phrase; better to use 'traffic' as an uncountable noun. 'Car pollution' is uncountable, so use 'so much' not 'so many'. Suggestion: use 'traffic' and match quantifiers to uncountable nouns.
× We have so many cars and so because of the so much cars we don't have any places to ride bikes.
✓ We have so many cars, and because of the many cars we don't have any places to ride bikes.
Mixed and incorrect quantifiers: use 'many' with countable 'cars'. Avoid redundant 'so because of the so much'. Suggestion: simplify to 'because of the many cars' or 'because there are so many cars'. Maintain consistent quantifier use.
× And it's so dangerous to ride bikes 'cause you can get hit by a car while riding a bike in my country.
✓ It is very dangerous to ride bikes because you can get hit by a car while riding in my country.
Colloquial 'cause' replaced with 'because'; repetition 'ride bikes' and 'riding a bike' streamlined to avoid redundancy. Suggestion: use 'It is' and avoid repeating the same noun.
× So bikes are not popular in my account.
✓ So bikes are not popular in my country.
'In my account' is incorrect; the correct phrase for referring to one's country is 'in my country'. Suggestion: use 'in my country' or 'where I live'.
