Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Answer the question directly, but add one or two specific details to make your response more developed. You could mention whether you used the bike regularly, who gave it to you, or where you rode it. Use a linking word such as “and” or “because” to connect your ideas naturally.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends, especially at weekends. It was a simple bike, but I really enjoyed using it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant, but “populars” is incorrect because “popular” is an adjective, not a plural noun. Say “bikes are very popular” or “there are many bicycles.” Also, provide a reason or example to support your opinion, such as using bikes for commuting, exercise, or environmental reasons.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Many people use them for commuting and exercising because they are affordable and environmentally friendly. In particular, cycling is common among young people in large cities.
× Yes, in my country bikes are so many populars.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.
Popular is an adjective, so it should not be changed to the plural form populars. The adjective very correctly modifies popular. Place the phrase in my country at the end to make the sentence sound more natural.
× Yes, in my country bikes are so many populars.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.
Many is used with plural countable nouns, such as many bikes. It cannot directly modify the adjective popular. Use very popular to describe the degree of popularity.
