Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 53.0建議: Bạn trả lời đúng trọng tâm và có chi tiết cá nhân thú vị về món quà của ông. Tuy nhiên, cần dùng thì quá khứ nhất quán: “gave” và “was six”; diễn đạt rõ hơn “as a birthday present”. “I really love it” nên đổi thành “I really loved it” nếu nói về cảm xúc khi còn nhỏ. Cụm “in the gardens” chưa tự nhiên; hãy dùng “in my garden” hoặc “in the garage”, tùy ý bạn muốn nói.
範例: Yes, I did. My grandfather gave me a bicycle for my sixth birthday, and I was thrilled with it. I still have it in my garden.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 58.0建議: Bạn đã nêu ý kiến và đưa ra ví dụ về học sinh đi học bằng xe đạp. Tuy nhiên, “bicycle” không phải là một hoạt động; hãy nói “cycling is popular” hoặc “bicycles are popular”. “Most of them” không rõ đang chỉ ai hoặc vật gì, nên diễn đạt trực tiếp là “Many students ride bikes to school”. Có thể thêm một lý do cụ thể để câu trả lời đầy đủ và mạch lạc hơn.
範例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students. Many of them ride to school because it is affordable and convenient. You can often see groups of students cycling in the morning.
× Hmm, when I was a child my grandfather give me a bicycle when I'm six years old, so birthday.
✓ Hmm, when I was a child, my grandfather gave me a bicycle for my birthday when I was six years old.
Because the event happened when the speaker was a child, use the past-tense form gave instead of give. The age clause also describes a past time, so use was instead of am.
× Hmm, when I was a child my grandfather give me a bicycle when I'm six years old, so birthday.
✓ Hmm, when I was a child, my grandfather gave me a bicycle for my birthday when I was six years old.
Use for my birthday to explain the occasion on which the bicycle was given. So birthday is not a grammatical phrase in this context.
× In my opinion, bicycle is one of the most common activities in my country.
✓ In my opinion, cycling is one of the most common activities in my country.
Bicycle is a singular countable noun, so it cannot normally be used without a determiner. Since the intended meaning is the activity, cycling is the natural subject here.
× Most of them are students.
✓ Most cyclists are students.
The pronoun them has no clear suitable antecedent here; the previous sentence refers to an activity, not to people. Name the people being discussed, such as cyclists, to make the reference clear.
