Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Cần trả lời trực tiếp và rõ ràng, tránh mâu thuẫn về ý (học sinh nói không có xe nhưng lại nói có thể đi xe). Nên nêu lý do cụ thể và thêm chi tiết ngắn gọn (một đến hai câu hỗ trợ), sử dụng liên từ để mạch lạc.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one. However, I learned to ride on friends’ bikes and practiced in our neighborhood park every weekend.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Cần mở rộng câu trả lời với lý do cụ thể và ví dụ để thuyết phục hơn; dùng liên từ (for example, because, so) để kết nối ý. Tránh nói khái quát mà không có bằng chứng cụ thể.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are still quite popular, especially in rural areas, because they are inexpensive and practical for short trips. For example, in my village many people use bicycles to go to the market or to school every day.
× No, because I can ride a bike.
✓ No, because I couldn't ride a bike.
The question asks about the past (when you were a child), so a past-time modal or polite expression is required. 'Can' indicates present ability; 'could' is the past form and matches the time frame. Suggestion: use 'could' for past ability or rephrase 'I didn't know how to ride a bike.' Grammar problem type ID:4
× Yes, because it is a traditional transportation in my village.
✓ Yes, because it is a traditional form of transportation in my village.
The noun 'transportation' here needs a modifier; use 'a traditional form of transportation' or 'traditional transport'. Also 'it' is vague for 'bikes' (plural) — better to refer to 'they' or rephrase as 'bicycles are a traditional form of transportation'. Suggestion: match number and use 'a traditional form of transportation' or 'traditional transport'. Grammar problem type ID:17
