Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Be more concise, correct grammar, and organize ideas with a clear topic sentence and supporting detail. Use linking words and specific reasons. Avoid repetition (e.g., “not is not”). Mention one or two clear reasons about safety and infrastructure and give a brief example. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child. I was afraid of riding because the roads and bike lanes in my city are unsafe, so cyclists often mix with fast traffic. For example, there were few designated lanes and many cars parked on the roadside, which made cycling risky for me.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Clarify and expand with specific reasons and correct vocabulary. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two linked supporting points (e.g., affordability, convenience, traffic). Avoid vague or awkward phrases like “evil people” and finish with a brief example or consequence. Use linking words such as “also” and “for example.”
Ví dụ: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country. They are inexpensive and convenient for short trips, especially in crowded urban areas where parking for cars is limited. However, bike lanes are sometimes used improperly by motorbikes or parked vehicles, which causes safety problems for cyclists.
× No, I didn't have any bike.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike.
The plural/quantifier use is incorrect: 'any bike' is unnatural because 'bike' is a countable singular noun and after 'didn't' we typically use 'a' for a singular countable item. Change to 'a bike'. Use 'any' with plural ('any bikes') or uncountable nouns. Suggestion: 'No, I didn't have a bike.'
× Eventually I was afraid of bikes, to be very honest, because in our country the infrastructure of the transportation it not is not so good.
✓ To be very honest, I was afraid of bikes because the transportation infrastructure in our country is not very good.
Multiple errors: wrong word order ('Eventually' and 'to be very honest' misplaced), redundant and incorrect verb placement ('it not is not'), and awkward phrasing 'infrastructure of the transportation'. Correct by placing the discourse marker 'To be very honest' at the start, using subject 'the transportation infrastructure' and correct verb order 'is not very good'. This fixes sentence structure and subject-verb order. Suggestion: start with the discourse phrase, then provide the reason with correct noun phrase and verb 'is not'.
× So it makes me very tense to ride a bike which has lower security comparing to other vehicles like cars.
✓ So it makes me very tense to ride a bike that has lower safety compared to other vehicles, like cars.
Problems: relative clause and comparative phrasing. Use 'that has' or 'which has' with correct punctuation; 'lower security' is unnatural - use 'lower safety'; 'comparing to' should be 'compared to' or 'compared with'. Also add a comma before the example 'like cars'. This corrects comparative structure and word choice.
× Yes, bike is very popular in my country because of its small space.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they take up little space.
'Bike is' is wrong because 'bike' as a general category should be plural ('bikes are') or use 'the bike is' with a specific reference. Also 'because of its small space' is unclear; better: 'because they take up little space' or 'because they require less space'. This fixes number agreement and clarifies meaning.
× We can use bike in many ways such as easy access to transportation.
✓ We can use bikes in many ways, such as for easy access to transportation.
Countable noun needs plural 'bikes'. Also add 'for' before the noun phrase 'easy access' and a comma before 'such as'. This improves grammar and clarity.
× Also some evil people take their bikes on the lane of.
✓ Also, some criminals ride their bikes in the lanes meant for other vehicles.
Original sentence has incorrect word choice ('evil people' is unnatural), wrong verb 'take their bikes on the lane of' and incomplete prepositional phrase. Replace with natural vocabulary ('criminals' or 'reckless riders'), correct verb 'ride', and proper preposition 'in the lanes'. Clarify 'meant for other vehicles' if that's the intended meaning. Suggestion: 'Also, some criminals ride their bikes in the lanes meant for other vehicles.'
