Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Ответ напрямую отвечает на вопрос и содержит личную деталь о том, как отец научил вас кататься. Однако есть несколько грамматических ошибок и неестественных выражений: используйте “I clearly remember”, а не “I am clearly remember”; “my favourite way to spend my free time”, а не “my favorite type of spending free time”; “when I was a child” вместо повторяющегося “when I was in my childhood”. Разделите длинное предложение на 2–3 коротких и свяжите детали словами “and” или “because”.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I clearly remember how my dad taught me to ride a bike when I was about five. It was one of my favourite ways to spend my free time because I could ride around the neighbourhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Ответ выражает понятную позицию, но начало “like” звучит неуверенно, а фраза “take your Rd. by bike” непонятна и неестественна. Используйте правильные конструкции: “bikes are mainly used for transport”, “in Moscow, they are mostly used for leisure” и “you can’t cycle in every season”. Улучшите структуру: сначала дайте прямой ответ, затем объясните его размером Москвы и погодными условиями. Избегайте повторения “but” и замените его связками “however”, “because” или “although”.
Ví dụ: Not really, especially in Moscow. Unlike in some countries where people use bicycles as their main means of transport, Muscovites mostly ride them for leisure. The city is enormous, and cycling is not very convenient in winter because of the cold weather and snow.

The verb remember is used in the present simple, so it does not take the auxiliary am. The correct form is I clearly remember, not I am clearly remember. Use the present simple to describe a memory that you still have.
