Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents couldn't afford one. However, our wealthy neighbor owned several bicycles, so I often joined their children and borrowed a bike to ride for short periods.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Provide a clear opinion then support it with two specific reasons linked logically. Use more precise vocabulary and correct small grammar issues (e.g., use 'also' properly and expand on 'bad weather'). Keep it to a maximum of five sentences.
Ví dụ: No, bicycles are not very popular in my country because the roads are often in poor condition. For example, many streets have potholes and unpaved sections, so people prefer motorcycles or cars for safety and speed. In addition, the rainy and windy weather makes cycling uncomfortable and unsafe during large parts of the year.
× So I always follow the children to the pack and I will borrow their.
✓ So I always followed the children to the park and borrowed theirs.
Pronoun errors and more: 'follow' and 'borrow' should match past tense context (you asked about childhood), so use 'followed' and 'borrowed' (Past tense issue and subject-verb agreement). 'pack' is a misspelling of 'park'. 'their' is a possessive determiner that must modify a noun; here the correct form is the pronoun 'theirs' to mean 'their bikes'. Suggestion: use past tense verbs consistently and the correct possessive pronoun: 'followed', 'borrowed', and 'theirs'.
× For example, we have potholes and unpaved roads so many people prefer to buy motorcycles and taxis and private cars.
✓ For example, we have potholes and unpaved roads, so many people prefer to buy motorcycles, taxis, or private cars.
The original sentence lists items with 'and' repeatedly which is awkward; use commas and a clearer list connector. Also 'private cars' is fine plural. Suggestion: add a comma before 'so' for clarity and use commas and 'or' to list alternatives: 'motorcycles, taxis, or private cars.'
× Also the bad weather.
✓ Also, the bad weather is a factor.
This fragment lacks a verb and is not a complete sentence (Sentence without a verb / Sentence structure error). To correct, make it a full clause by adding a verb and connecting it to the previous idea: 'Also, the bad weather is a factor.' Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments by ensuring each sentence has a subject and a verb.
