Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 32.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar and clarity: use past tense consistently, give a clear topic sentence, then one or two supporting details with linking words. Avoid redundancy and keep it under five sentences. Be specific about when and how you used a bike (e.g. age, occasions) and correct verbs (had/didn't have, could/couldn't, borrowed/rode).
Ví dụ: I didn’t have a bike when I was a child, but my younger brother did. However, I sometimes borrowed his bike to ride around the neighborhood on weekends. Because we lived near a quiet park, I felt safe practicing there, although I couldn’t ride confidently at first.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Focus on clear reasons and specific examples. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give two linked reasons using linking words (for example, because/since/so). Use appropriate vocabulary (popular, common, affordable, practical) and avoid repetition. Mention evidence: groups who ride bikes, economic reasons, or examples of bike use.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because many young people use them for cheap and convenient transportation. For example, students often ride bikes to college since public transport can be expensive, and cyclists also enjoy them for short trips and exercise.
× When I was a child, I have no bike because but my brother was a bike, I did not.
✓ When I was a child, I did not have a bike, but my brother did.
The sentence mixes past and present forms incorrectly. Use simple past 'did not have' for a past state. 'my brother was a bike' is incorrect; use 'my brother did' to indicate he had one. Remove extra words like 'because' that are unnecessary. Suggest practicing simple past statements and using auxiliary 'did' for negation and emphasis.
× I did not cannot ride a bike but sometimes I tie to my brother so I can ride such as winter college and my brother every day bike ruling in the college.
✓ I could not ride a bike at first, but sometimes I tied to my brother so I could ride, for example in winter at college when my brother rode his bike every day.
Multiple errors: modal and tense issues and wrong word forms. 'did not cannot' mixes negation and modal; use 'could not' for past ability. 'tie to my brother' is incorrect; likely 'try with my brother' or 'hold on to my brother'. 'bike ruling' is wrong; use 'rode his bike'. Ensure consistent past tense and correct verb forms. Practice using 'could' for past ability, and the past tense of 'ride' is 'rode'.
× Yes, definitely I think bikes is very significant in my country because younger people like an appreciated bike because there are very dreams dreams actually when board a bike when we board a bike.
✓ Yes, definitely. I think bikes are very important in my country because young people appreciate bikes; there are many dreams and feelings when we ride a bike.
Subject-verb agreement: 'bikes is' should be 'bikes are'. 'younger people like an appreciated bike' is ungrammatical; use 'young people appreciate bikes'. 'when board a bike' lacks subject and correct verb form; use 'when we ride a bike'. Also remove repetition and clarify meaning. Practice matching plural subjects with plural verbs and using 'appreciate' correctly.
× So right now many younger people actually don't have enough money so they cannot board a bike they cannot buy
✓ So right now many young people do not have enough money, so they cannot afford to buy a bike.
Use simple present for general current situations: 'do not have' and 'cannot afford to buy'. 'board a bike' is wrong; likely 'ride' or 'buy'—here context requires 'buy'. Also add 'afford to' to express inability to purchase. Practice using 'cannot afford to' + verb and clear lexical choices.
