Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Answer directly using the past tense because the question is about your childhood. Use “had” and “rode” rather than “have” and “run,” and explain clearly where you rode your bike or why you enjoyed it. Avoid unclear phrases such as “wish with a bike” and “a lot of prizes.”
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I rode it almost every day. I often cycled around my neighborhood with my friends. I loved it because it was fun and gave me a sense of freedom.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 20.0Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion first, then explain whether bikes are popular and support your answer with a specific reason or example. Use complete sentences and appropriate linking words, such as “although” or “because.” Check the wording “No” or “Yes” and avoid ending with an unfinished thought.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller towns. They are an affordable and convenient way to travel short distances. However, in big cities, many people prefer cars because they have busy schedules or need to travel farther.
× Yes, I have many bikes in my child and I run with a bike.
✓ Yes, I had many bikes as a child, and I rode a bike.
The question asks about the past, so use the past-tense forms had and rode rather than have and run.
× Yes, I have many bikes in my child and I run with a bike.
✓ Yes, I had many bikes as a child, and I rode a bike.
Use as a child to describe the period when you were young. In my child is not the correct prepositional phrase here.
× Wherever I go, I wish with a bike from home to a lot of prizes, I like it so much.
✓ Wherever I went, I rode my bike from home to many places. I liked it very much.
The answer describes a childhood experience, so keep the verbs in the past tense: went, rode, and liked. The correction assumes that prizes was intended to be places.
× Wherever I go, I wish with a bike from home to a lot of prizes, I like it so much.
✓ Wherever I went, I rode my bike from home to many places. I liked it very much.
The original combines ideas unclearly and joins two independent clauses with only a comma. Use a complete, clear clause for the biking activity, then start a new sentence for the opinion.
× Lo, I think lot because recently many people have many things should do so they will drive a car to instead of bike but I think Bike
✓ No, I don't think so. Recently, many people have a lot to do, so they drive cars instead of bikes. However, I think bikes are still popular.
In this context, lot needs a determiner; the natural expression is a lot. A lot to do expresses the intended quantity clearly.
× Lo, I think lot because recently many people have many things should do so they will drive a car to instead of bike but I think Bike
✓ No, I don't think so. Recently, many people have a lot to do, so they drive cars instead of bikes. However, I think bikes are still popular.
The original contains an incomplete and unclear clause, and the final words do not form a complete sentence. Use complete clauses and connect the contrasting idea with however. The correction infers the intended meaning of the unfinished ending.
× Lo, I think lot because recently many people have many things should do so they will drive a car to instead of bike but I think Bike
✓ No, I don't think so. Recently, many people have a lot to do, so they drive cars instead of bikes. However, I think bikes are still popular.
When using singular countable nouns, an article is generally needed, as in a bike. Here, a plural comparison is more natural, so use cars instead of bikes.
