Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 5.0建議: Bạn chưa trả lời câu hỏi mà chỉ lặp lại câu hỏi của giám khảo. Hãy trả lời trực tiếp bằng “Yes” hoặc “No”, sau đó thêm một chi tiết cụ thể, chẳng hạn bạn có xe đạp khi nào hoặc thường đi đâu. Dùng một đến hai câu hoàn chỉnh.
範例: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 25.0建議: Bạn đã đưa ra ý kiến “Yes, definitely”, nhưng phần giải thích còn rời rạc, có nhiều từ đệm và câu chưa hoàn chỉnh. Hãy nêu rõ xe đạp phổ biến với nhóm người nào hoặc ở đâu, rồi giải thích bằng một lý do cụ thể. Dùng câu hoàn chỉnh và tránh kết thúc bằng “because” nếu chưa nêu được lý do.
範例: Yes, I think bikes are still popular in Vietnam, especially among students and people in smaller towns. They’re affordable and convenient for short journeys, although many people in big cities now prefer motorbikes.
× Vietnam is uh, developing country
✓ Vietnam is a developing country
The singular countable noun phrase developing country needs the indefinite article a. Use a before a singular countable noun when introducing it generally.
× Especially umm, when we were umm, young, uh, because umm, Vietnam is uh, developing country, uh, so uh, buys uh, very easy to use because.
✓ Yes, definitely. Bikes are especially popular when people are young because they are easy to use. Vietnam is a developing country.
The original response is incomplete and difficult to follow: it begins with a dependent clause, uses because without completing the idea, and does not form a clear clause around very easy to use. Make the main subject and verb explicit, and avoid leaving a sentence unfinished with because.
