Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Be clearer and more concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid repetition, use one or two supporting details, and add a linking word if needed. Correct grammar: use past tense consistently and remove filler phrases like "actually" and repeated "I used to".
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a small bike when I was a child. My father bought it for me, and I used to ride it around the neighborhood every afternoon, which helped me learn balance and made me very confident.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Answer directly, then give specific supporting details using linking words for coherence. Improve grammar (plural/singular, prepositions, and tense) and replace vague phrases like "at afternoon" with "in the afternoon."
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, many children and adults ride bikes for fun and short trips; in the afternoons I often see kids riding beside my house and commuters using bicycles to get to work.
× Yes, I had a bike for child actually usually have do.
✓ Yes, I had a bike as a child; actually, most children usually have one.
The original sentence uses incorrect nouns and auxiliary structure for past reference. 'for child' is wrong; use 'as a child'. 'usually have do' is ungrammatical — use 'most children usually have one' to express general habit. Keep past reference 'had' and add a clear subject for the general statement.
× I used to I used to play with my little bike, my father brought it for me.
✓ I used to play with my little bike; my father bought it for me.
Redundant repetition 'I used to I used to' should be reduced to a single 'I used to'. 'Brought' is past tense but context requires 'bought' (to acquire); if the father purchased it, use 'bought'. Use a semicolon or separate sentences to join independent clauses correctly.
× Yes, I think bikes are actually popular in my country.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country.
This sentence is mostly correct but 'actually' is conversational and slightly awkward; 'quite' fits better for a clear statement. No tense change needed since it's a present opinion (present tense appropriate).
× There are many children who play with their small bike or ride their bike, they usually ride their bike at afternoon beside my house
✓ There are many children who play with their small bikes or ride their bikes; they usually ride them in the afternoons beside my house.
Mismatch between plural subject 'children' and singular 'bike' — change to plural 'bikes' and plural pronoun 'them'. Use 'in the afternoons' for habitual time and 'beside my house' is OK but add comma/semicolon to separate clauses. Also replace 'at afternoon' with 'in the afternoons' for correct preposition and number agreement.
