Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: Bạn trả lời đúng trọng tâm nhưng cần dùng thì quá khứ nhất quán khi kể về tuổi thơ: dùng “Yes, I did” thay vì “Yes, I do”, “I had a bike” thay vì “I have a buy”, và “rode it to school” thay vì “write it to my school”. Hãy nối lý do bằng “because” và diễn đạt rõ rằng chiếc xe bị hỏng khi bạn đạp đến trường. Câu trả lời hiện khá dài và có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp, nên ưu tiên câu ngắn, tự nhiên.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child, but I don’t have it anymore because it broke while I was riding it to school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Bạn đã nêu quan điểm, nhưng cần dùng đúng danh từ “bikes” thay vì “buys” và tránh lặp hoặc ngập ngừng như “so it’s yeah”. Không nên dùng “it” để nói về người dân; hãy diễn đạt rằng người dân thường chọn ô tô hoặc xe máy hơn. Câu trả lời sẽ thuyết phục hơn nếu nêu lý do cụ thể và dùng cấu trúc đối lập tự nhiên như “although” hoặc “because”.
Ví dụ: Honestly, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Many people prefer cars or motorbikes because they’re more convenient for travelling longer distances.
× Yes I do, I have a buy when I was a child but now I don't have it anymore because it was broken when I write it to my school.
✓ Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child, but I don't have it anymore because it broke when I rode it to school.
The question asks about a past situation, so use did and had rather than do and have. Use the past-tense form rode because the riding happened in the past. Bike is also the correct word here; buy is a different word.
× Honestly I don't think that buys are popular in my country since it is a developing country so it's yeah it prefer more car or motorbike.
✓ Honestly, I don't think bikes are popular in my country because it is a developing country. People prefer cars or motorbikes.
Using since and so together to connect the same cause and result is redundant in this sentence. Use one causal conjunction, such as because, and place the result in a separate clause. Bike, not buy, is the correct word in this context.
× Honestly I don't think that buys are popular in my country since it is a developing country so it's yeah it prefer more car or motorbike.
✓ Honestly, I don't think bikes are popular in my country because it is a developing country. People prefer cars or motorbikes.
The original subject it does not agree with the base-form verb prefer; a singular subject requires prefers. The revised sentence uses the plural subject people, which correctly takes prefer.
× Honestly I don't think that buys are popular in my country since it is a developing country so it's yeah it prefer more car or motorbike.
✓ Honestly, I don't think bikes are popular in my country because it is a developing country. People prefer cars or motorbikes.
When referring generally to cars and motorbikes, use the plural forms cars and motorbikes rather than the singular car and motorbike.
