Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 38.0Gợi ý: Be direct and coherent: start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then give one or two specific supporting details (age, who gave it, how you felt). Use past tense consistently and avoid repetition. Link ideas with simple connectors (for example, “then”, “because”, “so”). Keep answers under five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I received it from my father for my 13th birthday, and I used to ride it every day around my neighborhood. I felt very happy and independent because it made it easier to visit friends and run small errands.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and provide clear reasons with specific details. Use correct grammar (subject-verb agreement, articles) and concise linking words such as “because”, “so”, or “for example.” Avoid repetition and finish your thought with a clear result or example. Keep to two or three sentences maximum.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people are middle class and cannot afford cars. For example, commuters often use motorcycles or bicycles to avoid traffic and save money on fuel, so biking is a practical choice for daily travel.
× Yes, when I'm a child I have a bike on my 13th.
✓ Yes, when I was a child I had a bike from when I was 13.
The sentence refers to past time, so present tense 'I'm' and 'have' are incorrect. Use past tense 'was' and 'had'. Also 'on my 13th' is unnatural; use 'from when I was 13' to indicate starting age.
× On my 18th birthday my father gifted me a bike when I was tired and I enjoy very much.
✓ On my 18th birthday my father gifted me a bike; I was very happy and enjoyed it very much.
Mixed tenses and incorrect adjective/verb forms: 'gifted' is past, so follow-up should be past 'enjoyed'. 'When I was tired' is irrelevant or misplaced; likely intended 'I was very happy'. Use past tense consistently and use 'happy' (adjective) rather than leaving sentence incomplete.
× On my birthday I was very.
✓ On my birthday I was very happy.
Sentence is incomplete; 'very' requires an adjective to modify. Add 'happy' to complete the thought and match past tense context.
× Yes, in our country the bikes are more popular than cars because my country have a middle class people more than rich peoples.
✓ Yes, in our country bikes are more popular than cars because we have more middle-class people than rich people.
Subject-verb agreement and tense: use 'have' with 'we' not 'my country have'. Also pluralization and word choice: 'middle-class people' and 'rich people' are correct; remove extra 'the' and 'the bikes'. Ensure present simple for general truths.
× That the middle class people always prefer to bike while travelling because by by traveling with the bike it is a very easy easy to cross a.
✓ Middle-class people often prefer to travel by bike because it is an easy way to get around.
Multiple errors: remove unnecessary 'That' and duplicated words 'by by' and 'easy easy'. 'Prefer to bike while travelling' is awkward; use 'prefer to travel by bike'. 'To cross a' is incomplete—use 'get around' or 'move around' to express ease of travel. Also use 'often' or 'usually' instead of 'always' for naturalness.
