Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, avoid asking the examiner for clarification unless necessary, and add one brief specific supporting detail (reason or short example). Keep it to 1–3 sentences and avoid repetition.
Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My family couldn't afford one, so I usually walked to school or used public transport with my parents.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 74.0Gợi ý: Improve accuracy, fluency and coherence. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and use linking words to structure supporting points (e.g., 'Firstly', 'Secondly'). Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., 'mode of transport', 'cost-effective') and limit to 2–3 sentences with specific examples or brief data if possible.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Firstly, they are a cost-effective mode of transport compared with cars or motorbikes; secondly, they are convenient for short trips and easy to learn, so many students and workers use them daily.
× Bike bikes are one of the most popular more popular mode of transportation in my country.
✓ Bicycles are one of the most popular modes of transportation in my country.
The original sentence repeats words ('Bike bikes') and mixes singular/plural forms inconsistently ('one of the most popular more popular mode'). Use 'bicycles' (plural) to refer generally, and 'one of the ... modes' requires plural 'modes'. Also use a single adjective phrase 'most popular' not repeated. Improve by removing duplication and ensuring noun and modifier agree in number.
× So I have to say yes because one it is they are affordable, more affordable than motorbike or cars.
✓ So I have to say yes because, firstly, they are affordable, more affordable than motorcycles or cars.
There is a mismatch and inconsistency in number and word choice: 'motorbike or cars' mixes singular and plural and uses 'motorbike' while 'cars' is plural. Also 'one it is' is incorrect sequence. Use a clear list marker 'firstly' and keep comparable nouns plural: 'motorcycles or cars'. Ensure pronoun 'they' correctly refers to 'bicycles'.
× And two, it's easy to learn how to ride one as well.
✓ Secondly, it is easy to learn how to ride one as well.
The phrase 'And two' is informal and awkward for listing reasons. Replace with 'Secondly' to match 'firstly' used earlier. 'It's' is acceptable but spell out 'it is' for clarity. Pronoun 'one' correctly refers to 'a bicycle' so change is mainly stylistic and for parallel structure.
