Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: Your answer does not directly answer the question and is difficult to understand. State clearly whether you had a bike, then add one specific detail about how or when you used it. Check the pronunciation and meaning of key words, especially “bike” and “child,” to avoid misunderstandings.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends, especially at weekends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: You give a relevant opinion and a reason, but the answer contains several grammar and word-choice errors. Say “Bicycles are very popular in my country” instead of “Bicycle is very popular in any country,” and use “cheap and convenient” rather than “cheap accessible.” Avoid the unclear contrast “but only in my country”; instead, explain directly that people use bikes for shopping and short journeys. Use a linking word such as “because” to connect your opinion and reason clearly.
Ví dụ: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient. Many people use them for shopping or for traveling short distances, especially in crowded cities. They are also a good way to avoid traffic.
× You have a bias for your child.
✓ I had a bike when I was a child.
The question asks about a past experience, so the present-tense verb have should be changed to the past-tense verb had. Also, bike is the appropriate word for the object mentioned in the question.
× You have a bias for your child.
✓ I had a bike when I was a child.
When answering a question about your own childhood, use the first-person pronoun I, not the second-person pronoun you. The phrase your child also changes the meaning because it refers to someone else's child.
× Oh yes, probably Bicycle is very popular in any country but only in my country because it is easy and cheap accessible if you go for shopping or anywhere.
✓ Oh yes, bicycles are probably very popular in my country because they are easy and inexpensive to use when you go shopping or go anywhere.
Bicycles are being discussed in general, so the plural form bicycles is more appropriate than the singular form Bicycle. The plural subject requires the plural verb are, and the pronoun it must change to they.
× Oh yes, probably Bicycle is very popular in any country but only in my country because it is easy and cheap accessible if you go for shopping or anywhere.
✓ Oh yes, bicycles are probably very popular in my country because they are easy and inexpensive to use when you go shopping or go anywhere.
The subject bicycles is plural, so it must be followed by the plural verb are, not is. The later pronoun must also be they rather than it to agree with the plural subject.
× Oh yes, probably Bicycle is very popular in any country but only in my country because it is easy and cheap accessible if you go for shopping or anywhere.
✓ Oh yes, bicycles are probably very popular in my country because they are easy and inexpensive to use when you go shopping or go anywhere.
Cheap accessible is not a natural adjective combination in this sentence. Use inexpensive to use to express that using bicycles does not cost much and is convenient. The phrase easy to use is also grammatically complete.
× Oh yes, probably Bicycle is very popular in any country but only in my country because it is easy and cheap accessible if you go for shopping or anywhere.
✓ Oh yes, bicycles are probably very popular in my country because they are easy and inexpensive to use when you go shopping or go anywhere.
In English, use go shopping rather than go for shopping. The verb go is directly followed by the -ing activity in this expression.
