Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Be more fluent and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (past tense), avoid repetition and filler words, and give one or two specific supporting details linked logically. Use connectors like "because" or "so". Also correct word order and articles (e.g., "my home", "a bike").
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I usually walked to school because it was very close to my home, and my parents couldn’t afford to buy one. As a result, walking became my main way of getting around.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence, correct grammar and vocabulary (e.g., "easy to take anywhere" → "easy to use/ride", "two peoples" → "two people"), and add a specific reason or example. Use connectors like "because", "for example", or "also" to organise your answer.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially in rural areas, because they are inexpensive and easy to use. For example, many villagers ride bikes to the market or to school since public transport is limited, and a bike is practical for short daily trips.
× No, when I when I when I wait a child, I don't have any bike.
✓ No, when I was a child, I didn't have a bike.
The sentence mixes present tense and has incorrect verb 'wait'. The situation refers to the past (childhood), so use past tense: 'was' for 'to be' and 'didn't have' for possession. Also use singular 'a bike' instead of 'any bike' when referring to a single item. Suggestion: replace 'wait' with 'was' and change present tense verbs to past tense.
× I usually uh prefer walking.
✓ I usually preferred walking.
The speaker refers to habitual action in the past (when they were a child), so the past habitual form 'preferred' is required rather than present 'prefer'. If speaking about current habit, 'I usually prefer walking' would be correct. Suggestion: match tense to the time reference.
× There is a nearby my school.
✓ My school was nearby.
Word order and preposition usage are incorrect. 'There is a nearby my school' is ungrammatical. For past context, say 'My school was nearby.' If using 'nearby' as an adverb, place it after the noun: 'My school is nearby.' Suggestion: place possessive before noun and use correct verb and position of 'nearby.'
× I need my home.
✓ I lived near my home.
'I need my home' is incorrect in this context. The intended meaning is likely proximity between home and school. Use a past verb 'lived' and phrase 'near my home' or 'close to my home.' Suggestion: rephrase to express location or relation correctly.
× Also my parents never gave me bike and bicycle.
✓ Also, my parents never gave me a bike.
The original repeats 'bike' and 'bicycle' redundantly and omits the article 'a'. Use the indefinite article 'a' with singular countable nouns: 'a bike.' Remove redundant word. Suggestion: use 'a bike' and keep sentence simple: 'My parents never gave me a bike.'
× Yes, in my village and in my country, bikes are so popular because that is so easy to take anywhere and it is only for two peoples, but it's so useful.
✓ Yes, in my village and in my country, bikes are very popular because they are easy to take anywhere and they are only for two people, but they are very useful.
Multiple issues: 'bikes' plural requires plural pronoun 'they' (subject-pronoun agreement). 'That' should be 'they' when referring to bikes. 'Peoples' is incorrect; 'people' is the plural of person. Use 'two people' not 'two peoples.' Use 'very' instead of 'so' for formality and clarity. Suggestion: use consistent plural pronouns, correct plural noun 'people,' and simpler adjectives.
