Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 38.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar, verb tense, and word choice; make the response concise and coherent with a clear topic sentence, one or two supporting details, and linking words. Specifically: use past tense consistently (had, rode), correct nouns/verbs (bike, rode), fix subject-verb agreement (parents didn’t), and avoid repetition. Keep to max 4–5 sentences and add a brief specific detail (how often, who with, why you liked it).
Ví dụ: Yes — I had a bike as a child. I often rode it to the department store near my house on weekends because it was faster than walking. Also, my parents liked that I exercised outdoors, so they encouraged me to ride regularly.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: Clarify the main idea and improve grammar and vocabulary. State your opinion directly, then give two specific reasons with linking words (for example, because, moreover). Correct collocations (travel by car), article use (the transportation system), and word choice (motorbikes/motorcycles). Make sentences concise and logical.
Ví dụ: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country. Most people travel by car because roads and distances make driving more practical, and the public transport system is not designed for cyclists. For example, there are many motorbikes and few safe bike lanes, so people prefer motorised transport.
× Yeah, of course I have a bite when it was a child.
✓ Yeah, of course I had a bike when I was a child.
The student used present perfect 'have' and misspelled 'bike' as 'bite' while the question asks about possession in childhood (past). Use simple past 'had' and correct the noun. Also use 'I was a child' not 'it was a child'. Suggestion: Use simple past to talk about past possession: 'I had a bike when I was a child.'
× When it was a child, I always ride a bicycle to the department store near my house on the weekend.
✓ When I was a child, I always rode my bicycle to the department store near my house on weekends.
The sentence has incorrect subject reference 'it' and wrong verb tense: 'ride' (present) should be past 'rode' to match 'When I was a child'. Also 'a bicycle' -> 'my bicycle' is more natural, and 'on the weekend' -> 'on weekends' or 'on the weekend' depending on variety; 'on weekends' is idiomatic for habitual past. Suggestion: Use correct subject 'I', past tense 'rode', and plural 'weekends' for habitual actions.
× It's very comfortable for me when my parents doesn't.
✓ It was very convenient for me when my parents didn't.
There are several issues: tense should be past to match previous sentences ('was' not 'is'), adjective choice 'comfortable' is odd for transportation so 'convenient' fits better. 'my parents doesn't' is ungrammatical: subject-verb agreement requires 'my parents don't' (present) or 'my parents didn't' (past). Because context is past, use 'was' and 'didn't'. Suggestion: Use past tense consistently and match plural subject with 'didn't'.
× Umm, honestly I think it is not popular in my country because mostly everyone transport by the car and the transportation system is a convenient to ride a bike.
✓ Honestly, I don't think bikes are popular in my country because most people travel by car and the transportation system is not convenient for riding a bike.
Multiple problems: 'I think it is not popular' should refer to 'bikes' (plural) so 'bikes are not popular' or 'I don't think bikes are popular'. 'mostly everyone transport' is wrong: use 'most people travel' or 'use cars'. 'transport by the car' is incorrect preposition and article use; say 'travel by car'. 'the transportation system is a convenient to ride a bike' has adjective/article errors and wrong verb form: 'convenient' not 'a convenient', and 'for riding a bike' is natural. Suggestion: Refer to the subject 'bikes' in plural, use 'most people' and 'travel by car', and 'not convenient for riding a bike'.
× For example, there are many motorcycle.
✓ For example, there are many motorcycles.
'Motorcycle' should be plural 'motorcycles' to match 'many' (a quantifier that requires plural countable noun). Also consider 'motorbikes' or 'motorcycles' depending on variety. Suggestion: Use plural form after 'many': 'many motorcycles'.
