Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Be more natural and clear: start with a direct topic sentence, correct grammar errors, avoid redundancy, and add one specific detail. Use linking words to connect ideas. For example, correct tense and word order ("I still ride my bike today") and remove repeated phrases like "re ride."
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. I often rode it with my father, and we usually cycled to the park after school or in the evenings. Because I loved exploring, I also rode around the neighborhood with friends. Nowadays I still ride my bike regularly for exercise and short trips.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 75.0Gợi ý: Make your answer more concise and correct small errors in word choice and punctuation. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific supporting details linked logically (for example: frequency, reasons, and an example). Avoid extra commas and awkward phrases like "common side on the streets."
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my city. I see them everywhere when I walk to school or work, and many people use them for short trips and commuting because traffic is often heavy. For instance, I ride my bicycle daily to run errands and to get to university quickly.
× I still would re ride bike until today.
✓ I still would ride my bike today.
The original sentence has several past tense/usage problems. 're ride' seems to be a typo; it should be 'ride'. The phrase 'until today' with 'would' is awkward because 'would' often refers to past habitual actions. To express a continuing habit up to the present, use 'still' with a present-tense structure or a modal that fits present time. A clear correction while keeping 'would' is unlikely; here the simplest grammatical fix is 'I still ride my bike today.' If you want to keep 'would' for habitual past, use 'I would ride my bike' (past habit) without 'today'. Suggested improvement: decide whether you mean a past habit (use 'would' or 'used to') or a current habit (use present simple 'ride').
× I used to ride it everywhere with my father and we often cycle to the park after school or in the evening.
✓ I used to ride it everywhere with my father and we often cycled to the park after school or in the evening.
The sentence mixes past habitual 'used to' with present-tense 'cycle'. When referring to past habitual actions, maintain past tense consistency: use 'cycled' instead of 'cycle'. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent within the same time frame: if describing past habits, use past forms for all verbs.
× especially for short, trips and commuting so they're common side on the streets.
✓ especially for short trips and commuting, so they're commonly seen on the streets.
There is an incorrect comma after 'short' and awkward phrasing 'common side on the streets'. Remove the comma after 'short' because 'short trips' is a noun phrase. Replace 'common side on the streets' with 'commonly seen on the streets' to use correct collocation and adverb placement. Also add a comma before 'so' to separate clauses. Suggestion: use correct noun phrases ('short trips') and standard expressions ('commonly seen').
× I would say yes, bikes are very popular in my city because I see them everywhere when I walk to school or work.
✓ I would say yes. Bikes are very popular in my city because I see them everywhere when I walk to school or work.
The original is grammatically acceptable, but punctuating as two sentences improves clarity. Tense usage is consistent (present simple for general truths). Suggestion: separate ideas with a period for clearer spoken-to-written transition.
