Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 55.0建議: Câu trả lời có ý trả lời trực tiếp và có đề cập đến việc đạp xe cùng bố, nhưng còn nhiều từ ngập ngừng và cụm từ không tự nhiên như “bring my bike to like bars” và “looking up”. Bạn nên dùng cấu trúc rõ ràng: trả lời trực tiếp, nêu hoạt động cụ thể, sau đó thêm cảm nhận hoặc lý do. Cụm “in a weekend” nên đổi thành “at weekends” hoặc “on weekends”. Hãy tránh các từ đệm như “uh”, “like” và “yeah” để câu trả lời tự nhiên, hiệu quả hơn.
範例: Yes, I did. When I was a child, I often rode my bike around the neighborhood with my father at weekends. We usually went to a nearby park, and I really enjoyed spending time outdoors with him.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 45.0建議: Bạn đã trả lời đúng hướng và đưa ra lý do liên quan đến môi trường, nhưng câu trả lời có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp, lặp từ và diễn đạt chưa tự nhiên. “Absolutely yes” nên đổi thành “Absolutely” hoặc “Yes, definitely”. Không nên dùng “in the time in the past” và “people used to people”; hãy nói “In the past, many people in Vietnam used to travel by bicycle”. Ngoài ra, nên phân biệt quá khứ và hiện tại, đồng thời bổ sung một ví dụ cụ thể để phát triển câu trả lời mạch lạc hơn.
範例: Yes, definitely. Bikes are quite popular in Vietnam, especially among students and people who live in smaller cities. In the past, many people used bicycles as their main means of transport, and today some people still choose them because they are affordable and environmentally friendly.
× bicycling around with my father in a weekend
✓ bicycling around with my father on the weekend
Use on, not in, with the phrase on the weekend. You can also say at the weekend, especially in British English. For a repeated activity, on weekends is more natural.
× people in Vietnam is used to going
✓ people in Vietnam are used to going
People is a plural noun, so it must take the plural verb are, not is. The structure be used to is followed by a noun or a verb ending in -ing.
× going like by bicycles every time anywhere
✓ going everywhere by bicycle
Use by bicycle to describe the means of transportation. The word everywhere is the natural adverb for every place, and like is unnecessary in this sentence.
× they are means to protect the environment
✓ they are a means of protecting the environment
Means is countable when it means a method or way, so it needs the article a in the singular expression a means. The expression means of protecting is also more natural than means to protect in this context.
× a means to protect the environment
✓ a means of protecting the environment
After the preposition of, use the -ing form protecting. Therefore, the correct phrase is a means of protecting the environment.
