Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and complete your explanation. There are several grammar and word-choice problems, such as “it’s a my grandpa’s abort to me,” which should be “my grandfather bought it for me,” and “four wheels,” which is incorrect for a normal bicycle. Avoid fillers such as “uh,” and finish the reason for your positive feelings. Use a clear structure: answer, description, and reason.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. My grandfather bought me a pink bicycle when I was about six years old. I loved it because it was my first real present, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion at the beginning and support it with a complete, relevant example. The answer is difficult to understand because of repeated words, unfinished phrases, and incorrect vocabulary, such as “famous” instead of “popular.” Explain whether bicycles are popular now, and clarify the Guangzhou government’s policy rather than ending mid-sentence. Use linking words such as “because,” “however,” and “for example” to organize your ideas.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are still quite popular in my country, especially in large cities. Many people use shared bicycles because they are convenient and environmentally friendly. For example, Guangzhou has introduced bike-sharing programs, so residents can easily rent a bicycle for short journeys.
× it's a my grandpa's abort to me
✓ It was a bicycle my grandpa bought for me.
The sentence refers to an event in the past, so use the past-tense verb was instead of it's. Bought is the correct past form of buy. Also, a cannot be used directly before the possessive determiner my.
× it's a pink and uh, always 4, uh, whales, uh, a bicycle
✓ It was pink and always had four wheels.
Wheel must be plural because the bicycle had four wheels. The sentence also needs the verb had to connect the subject with the number of wheels.
× I loved this because.
✓ I loved it.
It is the appropriate pronoun for referring back to the bicycle. This is possible in some contexts, but it is less natural here. Because introduces a reason, so it should not be left at the end without completing the reason.
× Well, it's hard to say it's very it was very popular but not very fam but not very famous now.
✓ Well, it is hard to say. It was very popular, but it is not very popular now.
The original sentence contains repeated and conflicting structures. Use separate clauses with clear subjects and verbs. Since the statement describes the past and present, use was for the past and is not for the present.
× It was very popular, but not very famous now.
✓ It was very popular, but it is not very popular now.
The word now refers to the present, so the present-tense verb is is needed in the second clause. The subject it should also be repeated to make the clause complete.
× For example, the Guangzhou Government said one policy that or that awarding the bicycle to
✓ For example, the Guangzhou government introduced a policy of awarding bicycles to residents.
The original sentence is incomplete and contains an unclear verb pattern. Use introduced a policy of followed by a gerund, awarding. The sentence also needs an object after to; residents provides a complete and natural ending.
