Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be more grammatically accurate and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two supporting details using correct verb forms and linking words. Avoid redundant phrases and keep it to at most five sentences. Specifically, correct tense and article use (e.g., “I had” not “I have”), and use the phrase “training wheels” or “stabilizers” for clarity.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small bicycle with training wheels on the back, which helped me learn to balance. Because of those stabilizers, I felt confident riding on my street until I could cycle without them.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 56.0Gợi ý: Make your answer more fluent and precise. Begin with a direct opinion, then support it with specific reasons and an example, using linking words (e.g., “because”, “for example”). Correct collocations (say “easy to use for commuting” or “convenient for short trips”), and avoid vague phrases like “the small”.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are convenient and cheap for short journeys. For example, people in small towns often ride bikes to work or the market instead of taking a bus, which saves time and money.
× Yes I did. I have the type of bike that have two assistant wheels on one side each of the back wheel.
✓ Yes, I did. I had the type of bike that had two auxiliary (training) wheels attached to each side of the back wheel.
Problems: incorrect tense and verb form (present instead of past) and incorrect wording. According to the context (did you have a bike when you were a child?), past tense is required. 'Have' should be 'had' and the relative clause needs past 'had' as well. 'Assistant wheels' is not idiomatic; use 'auxiliary' or 'training wheels'. Also 'on one side each of the back wheel' is ungrammatical; use 'attached to each side of the back wheel'. Suggestion: keep past tense for all verbs describing past possessions and use clear noun phrases for parts of the bike.
× That's how does the bike I used to learn how to cycle.
✓ That's how I used the bike to learn to cycle.
Problems: incorrect word order and unnecessary auxiliary 'does'. The original mixes question-like inversion with statement. For a past habitual action, use 'I used the bike to learn to cycle' or 'That's how I learned to cycle.' Remove 'does' and place subject before verb. Suggestion: use simple past structure 'I used the bike to...' or 'I learned to cycle that way.'
× Yes, I think so. It is very easy for commute, especially for the small.
✓ Yes, I think so. It is very easy to commute, especially in small towns.
Problems: incorrect verb pattern and wrong preposition/noun phrase. 'Easy for commute' is ungrammatical; use 'easy to commute'. 'The small' is vague and incorrect; likely meant 'small towns' or 'small cities'. Suggestion: use 'to' before infinitive verbs and use the noun form 'small towns' to clarify meaning.
× For the people living in small city, they don't actually need to take bus or taxi, they just need a bike and it can lead to.
✓ For people living in small cities, they don't actually need to take a bus or taxi; they just need a bike, and it can take them where they need to go.
Problems: incorrect prepositions/articles and incomplete sentence. 'In small city' should be 'in small cities' (plural) or 'in a small city'. 'Take bus or taxi' requires articles: 'take a bus or a taxi'. 'It can lead to' is incomplete; the correct phrase is 'it can take them where they need to go' or 'it can get them around'. Suggestion: use correct articles with countable nouns, match singular/plural, and complete the final clause with an appropriate verb phrase.
