Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 38.0Gợi ý: Answer directly in the past tense: use “didn’t have” instead of “don’t have” and “was” instead of “were.” The phrase “financial problem has a bribe” is unclear; say “my family had financial problems” or “we couldn’t afford one.” Avoid repeating the reason with both “because” and “so that’s why,” and finish with a complete sentence. Add one specific detail to make the answer more developed.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family had financial problems, so we couldn’t afford one at that time. I usually walked to school or took the bus instead.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: Begin with a clear answer and avoid unnecessary words such as “obviously.” Correct the grammar by using “many people ride bikes to work” instead of “many bikers are travel to go to office.” Remove the repeated phrase “many bikers” and do not use both “because” and “so that’s why.” Include another specific reason or example, such as bikes being affordable, convenient, or useful for avoiding traffic.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them to work because they are affordable and convenient, especially in crowded cities. They also help people avoid traffic and reduce their transportation costs.
× No, I don't have any bike when I were a child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
Because the question refers to the past, use the past tense did not, not the present tense do not. The past form of be with I is was, not were. Use the singular noun phrase a bike because the speaker is referring to one bike in general.
× There was no money when I was a child because financial problem has a bribe that time, so that's why
✓ There was no money when I was a child because there were financial problems at that time.
Use the past form were because the situation existed in the past. The phrase financial problem has a bribe is not grammatically meaningful, so it should be replaced with the clear phrase there were financial problems. Do not use because and so that's why together in the same sentence because they express the same cause-and-result relationship.
× Yes, obviously, I think bikes are popular in my country because many bikers are many bikers are travel to go to office and others also.
✓ Yes, obviously. I think bikes are popular in my country because many people travel to work by bike.
For a general fact, use the present simple: many people travel. Do not use are before the base verb travel. The repeated phrase many bikers are makes the sentence structurally incorrect, so remove the repetition. The phrase travel to work is more natural than travel to go to office.
