Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Use clearer vocabulary and correct verbs, provide a topic sentence then specific supporting details and a linking word. Say where and why bikes are popular, and give an example or reason (e.g., cost, convenience, terrain). Keep to 2–4 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in rural areas. For example, many people ride bicycles to local markets because they are inexpensive and convenient for short trips, and the quiet country roads make cycling safe and easy.
× Yes, I do have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
ID 6: The sentence mixes present tense 'do have' with the past time reference 'when I was a child'. Use past tense 'had' to match the time frame. Suggestion: use past simple for completed past states (I had).
× It comes with two wheels and a pink coated.
✓ It had two wheels and was pink-coated.
ID 13: 'comes' (present) conflicts with past context; 'pink coated' is incorrect word order/formation. Use past simple 'had' and form 'pink-coated' or 'painted pink' and include the verb 'was' for a description in the past. Suggestion: use 'was pink' or 'was painted pink'.
× I wrote it every day as my favorite hobby.
✓ I rode it every day as my favorite hobby.
ID 9: The student used 'wrote' (past tense of 'write') incorrectly; the intended verb is 'ride' (past 'rode'). Use 'rode' to describe using a bike in the past. Suggestion: learn common irregular verb forms (ride/rode/ridden).
× I think bikes are pretty popular in my country, especially in the countryside.
✓ I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in the countryside.
ID 6: 'pretty popular' is informal but not strictly incorrect; change to 'quite popular' for clearer register. Tense is fine (present opinion). Suggestion: choose vocabulary appropriate to formality; no tense change needed.
× People often roaded when going to markets or places nearby.
✓ People often rode them when going to markets or places nearby.
ID 5: 'roaded' is not a correct form; the past of 'ride' is 'rode'. Also include object 'them' (the bikes) to clarify. Suggestion: use correct past tense 'rode' and include the direct object if needed.
