Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Bạn trả lời đúng hướng nhưng có lỗi dùng từ quan trọng: “bag” phải là “bike”, và “drive a bike” nên sửa thành “ride a bike”. Câu trả lời hơi thiếu tự nhiên vì lặp lại “bike” và dùng “too” chưa phù hợp. Bạn nên mở đầu trực tiếp bằng “Yes, I did”, sau đó nêu ai mua xe và thêm một chi tiết cụ thể về việc học đi xe.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. My father bought me a bike when I was a child, and he taught me how to ride it. I remember practising in the park near my house every weekend.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Bạn đã trả lời trực tiếp và đưa ra nhóm người sử dụng xe đạp, nhưng câu trả lời còn ngập ngừng và có lỗi diễn đạt: “ride a bike a lot” nên đổi thành “ride bikes frequently”, “young people, students and” là câu chưa hoàn chỉnh, và “easy to to see” bị lặp từ. Hãy dùng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, sau đó giải thích lý do hoặc đưa ra ví dụ cụ thể, đồng thời sử dụng từ nối như “especially” hoặc “because”.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and young people. They are affordable and convenient for short journeys, so it is common to see people riding bikes on the streets.
× Definitely, uh, people ride a bike a lot in my country, especially young people, students and.
✓ Definitely, people ride bikes a lot in my country, especially young people and students.
The plural noun people refers to people in general, so the plural noun bikes is more appropriate than the singular noun a bike. Also, the original list ends with and without another item, so and should be placed before the final item: young people and students.
× Definitely, uh, people ride a bike a lot in my country, especially young people, students and.
✓ Definitely, people ride bikes a lot in my country, especially young people and students.
The original sentence is structurally incomplete because it ends with and. A conjunction such as and must connect two words, phrases, or clauses. Remove the unnecessary final and to make the sentence complete.
