Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: Your answer is too short and doesn't follow the Basic Structure rule. Start with a direct topic sentence and then add 1–2 supporting details (where, how often, or a short memory). Use linking words if you add details. Keep to a maximum of 5 sentences and be natural.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I remember riding it around my neighborhood every weekend with my friends, and it was a small blue bicycle with training wheels. It helped me become more independent and confident when I was young.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Your answer is unclear and contains grammar errors and a mistaken word ("Banks" instead of "bikes"). Begin with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then provide specific supporting details and a reason. Use linking words (e.g., "however", "because", "for example") and correct subject-verb agreement.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in cities and rural areas where they are an inexpensive way to travel. For example, many people use bicycles for their daily commute because they are cheaper than motorbikes and easier to park, but in larger cities cars and public transport remain common as well.
× Banks in our country is not really popular, some use it for a daily use and uh some for work.
✓ Bikes in our country are not really popular; some people use them for daily use and some for work.
The student used 'Banks' instead of 'Bikes' (likely a typo) and mixed singular/plural forms and pronouns incorrectly. 'Bikes' is plural and requires the plural verb 'are' (subject-verb agreement). 'Some' referring to people should be clarified as 'some people' and the pronoun referring back to 'bikes' should be 'them' not 'it'. Also 'a daily use' is unnatural; 'daily use' or 'for daily use' is correct. Suggestion: ensure the subject and verb agree in number, use clear nouns for 'some' when referring to people, and match pronouns to the noun's number. Use 'are' with plural subjects and 'them' for plural objects.
