Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Improve grammatical accuracy and clarity. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. “Yes, I did.”), correct the age phrase (“when I was about ten”), and avoid redundancy. Keep answer natural and up to five sentences. Add one specific supporting detail with a linking word.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. When I was about ten, I had a small red bike that I loved. For example, I often rode it to the park with my friends on weekends, which helped me feel independent and active.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons and a linking word. Correct grammar (e.g. “people don’t usually use bicycles in the streets”) and avoid vague fillers like “I think” and “and yeah.” Provide one concrete example or consequence.
Ví dụ: Not really. Because our cities are very busy and lack safe bike lanes, people don’t usually use bicycles on the streets. For example, most commuters prefer buses or cars since cycling feels unsafe during rush hour.
× 'Yes, whenever is 10 I had a bike and I really enjoyed riding a bike with my friends.'
✓ 'Yes, when I was 10 I had a bike and I really enjoyed riding it with my friends.'
'whenever is 10' is incorrect phrasing for age and mixes time references; use 'when I was 10'. Also use the pronoun 'it' instead of repeating 'a bike' to avoid redundancy. The sentence uses past tense ('had', 'enjoyed'), which is correct for a past situation, but the time clause must be expressed as "when I was 10".'},{
