分數: 40.0建議: Bạn đã hiểu nhầm câu hỏi và dùng thì sai. Trong phần thi, cần trả lời trực tiếp bằng thì quá khứ (did/had) và không lặp lại câu hỏi. Hãy bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề ngắn gọn, sau đó thêm 1–2 câu chi tiết hỗ trợ (ví dụ: ai cho bạn, đã dùng để làm gì, có giữ đến nay không). Dùng liên từ đơn giản như “because”, “so”, hoặc “but” để nối ý nếu cần.
範例: Yes, I had a small bicycle when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was six because I loved riding in the park, and I used it almost every day during summer.

分數: 75.0建議: Trả lời ngắn, đúng thì và rõ ràng nhưng vẫn có thể cải thiện bằng cách thêm lý do cụ thể và một ví dụ để làm câu trả lời thuyết phục hơn. Sử dụng liên từ như “because” hoặc “for example” để nối ý và cung cấp thông tin cụ thể (ví dụ: vì chi phí, tiện lợi, giao thông). Giữ không quá 5 câu.
範例: Not really, I think motorbikes are more popular in my country because they are cheaper and easier to park. For example, many people use motorbikes to commute through crowded city streets, especially during rush hour.

The question mixes present tense 'Do you have' with a past time reference 'when you were a child'. Use past simple 'Did you have' to match the past time frame. Suggestion: use past tense verbs when the time reference is in the past (e.g., 'Did you have', 'Were you', 'Did you ride').

The examiner's question asks about the past ('Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' actually is present, but in the dialogue context the student was asked earlier about childhood; if the intent is to answer about childhood, the student should use past tense). To refer to past popularity, use past simple 'were popular'. Suggestion: ensure tense matches the time frame being discussed: use 'were' for past and 'are' for present.
