Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 60.0建議: Bạn trả lời trực tiếp và có thêm chi tiết về thời điểm, màu sắc và chiếc xe, nên câu trả lời khá cụ thể. Tuy nhiên, cần chú ý phát âm và dùng đúng từ: “bike” (xe đạp), không phải “buy” hoặc “bite”; cụm “training wheels” phù hợp nếu bạn muốn nói bánh phụ. Có thể nối hai ý tự nhiên hơn bằng “It was…” và giữ câu trả lời ngắn gọn.
範例: Yes, my dad bought me my first bike when I was six. It was red and had training wheels, which helped me learn to ride.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 55.0建議: Bạn nêu rõ quan điểm và đưa ra lý do liên quan đến việc đi lại hằng ngày. Tuy nhiên, nên sửa “I'm living in Vietnam” thành “I live in Vietnam” khi nói về nơi ở lâu dài; dùng “bikes” hoặc “bicycles” thay vì “their bike”; và sửa cấu trúc “not only … but also …” để hai vế song song. Tránh lặp “from places to places” và bỏ từ ngập ngừng “uh”.
範例: Yes, definitely. Bikes are quite popular in Vietnam because many people use them for everyday transport. They’re convenient for getting around, especially for short trips.
× Yes I do, since I'm living in Vietnam and people around me mostly use their bike for everyday work, not only to travel around but also to, uh, moving from places to places.
✓ Yes, I do, since I'm living in Vietnam and people around me mostly use their bikes for everyday work, not only to travel around but also to, uh, moving from places to places.
People is plural, so the possessive determiner their should refer to plural bikes. Use bikes rather than bike.
× Yes I do, since I'm living in Vietnam and people around me mostly use their bike for everyday work, not only to travel around but also to, uh, moving from places to places.
✓ Yes, I do, since I'm living in Vietnam and people around me mostly use their bike for everyday work, not only to travel around but also to, uh, move from places to places.
The phrase not only to travel is followed by an infinitive with to. For parallel structure, use the same form after but also: to move, not to moving.
× Yes I do, since I'm living in Vietnam and people around me mostly use their bike for everyday work, not only to travel around but also to, uh, moving from places to places.
✓ Yes, I do, since I'm living in Vietnam and people around me mostly use their bike for everyday work, not only to travel around but also to, uh, moving from place to place.
In the expression from place to place, place is used in the singular to refer generally to movement between locations. Use from place to place rather than from places to places.
