Điểm: 20.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and avoid treating “bike” and “bicycle” as different things; they mean the same thing here. Use the past tense consistently (“didn’t have,” “owned”) and remove repeated explanations. If you mean that you had a bicycle as a child but did not have one later, clarify that distinction with a brief, relevant detail.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. I learned to ride it in a nearby park, and I used it to get around my neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Give a clear yes-or-no answer first, then explain who commonly rides bikes and why. Replace unclear phrases such as “Genesis in our generation” and avoid repeating “girls” or leaving the final sentence unfinished. Use a linking word such as “because” to connect your reason to your main point.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among young people. Many enjoy riding them because they are convenient and can be a fun way to spend time with friends. Some people also like the stylish design of newer bikes.
× When I was a child, I don't really have a bike, but I did own a bicycle.
✓ When I was a child, I didn't really have a bike, but I did own a bicycle.
The sentence refers to a period in the past, indicated by When I was a child. Use the past-tense auxiliary didn't with the base form have, rather than the present-tense don't.
× ...there's a legal ease to get bike to ride it.
✓ ...there's a legal ease to get a bike to ride it.
Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a before bike. The phrase legal ease is unclear, but it is not corrected here because it does not match one of the listed grammar problem types.
× I never got a bike, but now I got a bike.
✓ I never got a bike, but now I have a bike.
Now describes the present, so use the present-tense verb have to describe current possession. Got refers to the past in this sentence.
× In my country, bikes are popular more than anything...
✓ In my country, bikes are more popular than anything else...
In a comparative construction, place more before the adjective: more popular. Use than to introduce the comparison, and anything else makes the comparison clearer.
× ...and if you guys, if you own a bike, that means.
✓ If you own a bike, that means you can show it off.
The original sentence is incomplete because that means introduces an idea but is not followed by what it means. Complete the thought with a clause. The suggested ending follows the student's preceding idea about showing off a bike.
