Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Thí sinh
I do. I think that bikes are very popular in my country because I see a lot of people riding bikes all over the day and I suppose that even if I had some extra money I would buy a bicycle too.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: Ответ в целом прямой и содержит личные детали: цвет велосипеда, его скорость и эмоциональное отношение к нему. Однако выражение “by the way” здесь звучит немного неестественно, “writing it” следует заменить на “riding it”, а повтор слова “fast” делает ответ избыточным. Также последняя незаконченная фраза снижает естественность и беглость речи. Лучше использовать связную структуру: прямой ответ, затем несколько конкретных деталей и причина, почему велосипед вам нравился.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a red bicycle when I was a child, and I even gave it a name. It was quite fast, so I really enjoyed riding it around my neighborhood. I especially liked it because it gave me a sense of freedom.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Ответ начинается непосредственно и содержит причину, но несколько выражений звучат неестественно. Вместо “all over the day” нужно сказать “throughout the day” или “every day”; кроме того, “I do. I think” повторяет одну и ту же мысль. Условная фраза о покупке велосипеда не полностью объясняет популярность велосипедов, поэтому лучше добавить конкретный контекст, например использование велосипедов для поездок, спорта или экологичных путешествий. Используйте связки “because”, “for example” и “as a result”, чтобы сделать ответ более логичным.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among young people and fitness enthusiasts. I often see people cycling to work or riding in parks at the weekend. They are convenient and affordable, and they are also a more environmentally friendly form of transport.
× It was fast and I enjoyed writing it and most of all I liked it because it was fast and.
✓ It was fast, and I enjoyed riding it. Most of all, I liked it because it was fast.
The sentence ends with the conjunction and, so the final clause is incomplete. Separating the ideas into two sentences makes the structure complete and clear. Also, riding is the appropriate verb for using a bicycle; writing is a different activity.
× I see a lot of people riding bikes all over the day.
✓ I see a lot of people riding bikes all day.
The natural expression for an activity that continues throughout the daytime is all day, not all over the day. All over is generally used to describe location or distribution, such as all over the country.
