Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: Answer directly in the first sentence and avoid repeated words such as “to be” and “I wanted to.” Correct the grammar and word choice: say “I didn’t have much desire to ride it” rather than “I have no desire to write it,” and “My father gave me a bike” rather than “I had a bike gift it from my father.” Add one specific reason why you did not use it often. Keep the response to two or three clear sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father gave it to me, but I didn’t ride it very often because I preferred playing indoor games. I mainly used it at weekends when my friends and I cycled around the neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Give a complete and direct answer, and avoid restarting the sentence. Correct the unclear expressions: say “in my country, Ukraine,” not “in my car in my urging country,” and use “have become more popular” instead of “this popularity raised.” Explain one or two specific reasons, such as health, convenience, or rising fuel costs. The current answer ends unfinished, so make sure the final sentence clearly completes your idea.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Ukraine, especially in large cities. They have become more common because cycling is affordable, healthy, and convenient for short journeys. In addition, some people have started cycling more because public transport and fuel have become more expensive.
× I have no desire to ride it that much.
✓ I had no desire to ride it that much.
The speaker is describing a situation in the past, when they were a child. Therefore, the present-tense verb have should be changed to the past-tense verb had. When talking about past feelings or situations, use the past tense consistently.
× I had a bike gift it from my father.
✓ I was gifted a bike by my father.
The original sentence incorrectly combines had with gift it. The bike received the action, so a passive structure is needed: subject + was/were + past participle + by + agent. The correct form is was gifted a bike by my father.
× But I guess this popularity raised that much because petrol in my country started to cost too much money.
✓ But I guess this popularity has risen so much because petrol in my country started to cost too much money.
The sentence describes an increase in popularity that began in the past and continues to be relevant now. The present perfect form has risen is appropriate. Also, rise is intransitive, so it should be used instead of raised in this meaning.
× So many people tried to.
✓ So many people tried to use bikes.
The expression tried to must be followed by the base form of a verb. The original sentence stops after the infinitive marker to, so it is incomplete. Add a verb such as use to complete the meaning.
