Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and use the correct past tense: say “When I was a child, I had...” rather than “whenever I were...” and “I have.” Use natural vocabulary such as “two-wheeled bike” and “tricycle,” and add a specific detail about how or when you used them. Avoid listing ideas without explaining them.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a couple of bikes when I was a child, including a small bicycle and a tricycle. I usually rode them around my neighborhood after school. I especially enjoyed cycling with my friends at the weekend.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear opinion, such as “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Then explain the main reason using accurate and natural phrases: “Many people live far from their workplaces, so they buy motorcycles for convenient transportation.” Avoid repetition, fillers, and unnatural expressions such as “have their workplace” and “go to anywhere.” Add one specific result or example to make the answer more effective.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially among people who live far from their workplaces. Since public transport can be crowded and slow, many people buy motorcycles because they are affordable and convenient. They make it easier to travel through heavy traffic and reach work on time.
× Yes, whenever I were a child I have many types of bike like 2 Wheeler, three Wheeler.
✓ Yes, when I was a child, I had many types of bikes, such as two-wheelers and three-wheelers.
The question asks about the past, so use the past-tense forms was and had. Was agrees with the subject I, and had is the past form of have.
× Yes, whenever I were a child I have many types of bike like 2 Wheeler, three Wheeler.
✓ Yes, when I was a child, I had many types of bikes, such as two-wheelers and three-wheelers.
After many types of, use the plural noun bikes. Also, two-wheeler and three-wheeler should be plural because the speaker is referring to more than one type or vehicle.
× Generally people have their workplace, uh, far away from the house and they have all they want a good transport facility, so they purchase uh, a bike so they can easily go to anywhere, uh, so.
✓ Generally, people have workplaces far away from home, and they all want good transportation, so they purchase a bike to travel easily.
The phrase they have all they want a good transport facility is not grammatically structured. Use they all want good transportation instead. Avoid repeating so and remove unnecessary fillers to make the sentence clearer.
× Generally people have their workplace, uh, far away from the house and they have all they want a good transport facility, so they purchase uh, a bike so they can easily go to anywhere, uh, so.
✓ Generally, people have workplaces far away from home, and they all want good transportation, so they purchase a bike to travel easily.
Because people generally have more than one workplace in the group being discussed, use the plural form workplaces. The plural form also sounds more natural with the general subject people.
× Generally people have their workplace, uh, far away from the house and they have all they want a good transport facility, so they purchase uh, a bike so they can easily go to anywhere, uh, so.
✓ Generally, people have workplaces far away from home, and they all want good transportation, so they purchase a bike to travel easily.
Do not use to before anywhere. Anywhere can function as an adverb of place by itself, so say go anywhere, not go to anywhere.
