Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Câu trả lời quá ngắn, thiếu thông tin và cấu trúc. Hãy bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề trả lời rõ ràng (ví dụ: "Yes, I did"), sau đó bổ sung 1–3 câu chi tiết cụ thể (mô tả loại xe, tần suất sử dụng, kỷ niệm hoặc lý do bạn thích/không thích). Sử dụng liên từ để nối ý (e.g., "because", "so", "when"). Giữ không quá 5 câu tổng cộng.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought me when I was seven, and I rode it almost every day after school. I liked it because it was light and easy to control, so I felt more independent. I also remember learning to ride it in the park with my older brother.

Điểm: 20.0Gợi ý: Câu trả lời không trả lời đúng ngôi và thiếu lý do hoặc ví dụ cụ thể. Tránh lỗi giới từ/ngôi (phải là "in my country"). Bắt đầu bằng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, sau đó nêu lý do/ví dụ cụ thể (xu hướng, môi trường, phương tiện thay thế) và dùng liên từ để nối các ý. Giữ không quá 5 câu.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people use them for short trips and commuting because traffic can be heavy and cycling is cheaper than driving. In some cities there are also bike-sharing programs and dedicated lanes, which encourages more people to ride.
× Yes, it's popular in your country.
✓ Yes, they are popular in my country.
The student used 'it' which is a singular pronoun but 'bikes' is plural, so the correct pronoun is 'they'. Also the demonstrative 'in your country' is incorrect because the student should refer to their own country in response to the examiner; use 'my country'. Finally, 'bikes' is plural so the verb should be 'are' not 'is'. Suggested improvement: identify the noun number (singular/plural) and match pronouns and verbs accordingly; use 'my' or 'your' to match the speaker's perspective.
