Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 65.0建議: Câu trả lời đi đúng trọng tâm và có thêm thông tin về mục đích sử dụng xe đạp. Tuy nhiên, cần tránh lặp từ “my parents”, sửa “have gave” thành “gave” vì đang kể về quá khứ, và diễn đạt tự nhiên hơn thay cho “go around my hometown”. Bạn nên dùng cấu trúc rõ ràng gồm câu trả lời trực tiếp, lý do hoặc mục đích, rồi thêm một chi tiết cụ thể.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 40.0建議: Bạn đã đưa ra quan điểm trực tiếp, nhưng phần giải thích còn khó hiểu do nhiều lỗi dùng từ và cấu trúc. Cần sửa “motorbike” thành “motorbikes”, “the personal car” thành “personal cars”, đồng thời loại bỏ các từ không phù hợp như “on Mars” và “buy”. Hãy dùng từ nối như “because” để giải thích rằng người dân thích phương tiện cơ giới hơn xe đạp, và đưa ra một lý do cụ thể như khoảng cách xa hoặc thời tiết nóng.
範例: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Most people prefer motorbikes or private cars because they are faster and more convenient for travelling long distances. However, bicycles are still common among children and people who exercise.

The event of receiving the bike happened in the past, so use the simple past tense gave. The phrase have gave is incorrect because gave is the simple past form, not the past participle. Also, the repeated phrase my parents should be mentioned only once.

The structure the more people use is incomplete because it normally requires a second comparative clause, such as the more..., the more.... Use the clearer subject most people instead.
