Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Cải thiện ngữ pháp số nhiều, sử dụng từ vựng phong phú hơn và cung cấp thêm ví dụ/so sánh. Sử dụng linking words như 'for example', 'because', 'also' để làm luận điểm rõ ràng và chính xác hơn.
Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. For example, I often see many students cycling to school every morning. They usually choose bikes because they are cheap, convenient for short trips, and easy to park compared with cars or motorbikes.
× Yes, I have a bike.
✓ Yes, I had a bike.
The question asks about having a bike when the student was a child; the context is past, so the verb should be in the past tense. Use 'had' to match the time frame: 'I had a bike.' Suggestion: Pay attention to time markers like 'when I was a child' and use past tense verbs accordingly.
× At first I don't know how to ride the bike, but my friends and my neighbors helped me how to learn to ride a bike.
✓ At first I didn't know how to ride the bike, but my friends and my neighbors helped me learn to ride it.
There are multiple issues: the time frame is past, so 'don't know' should be 'didn't know' (past tense). Also, 'helped me how to learn to ride a bike' is ungrammatical: 'helped me learn to ride it' is correct because 'help' is followed by the base verb without 'to' in this meaning, and the pronoun 'it' refers back to 'the bike'. Suggestion: Use 'didn't' for past negative and follow 'help' with the base verb: 'helped me learn.'
× Yes, I think bike is very popular in my country because when I go to school I always see many student ride a bike to their school.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because when I go to school I always see many students riding bikes to school.
'bike' should be plural 'bikes' when speaking generally. 'student' should be plural 'students' to agree with 'many'. Use the '-ing' form 'riding' after verbs of perception in ongoing habitual observation, or simply 'who ride'. Also 'ride a bike to their school' is wordy; 'riding bikes to school' is natural. Suggestion: Make nouns plural when referring to people/things in general ('bikes', 'students') and use 'riding' for ongoing/habitual actions.
× I think they choose bike to ride because it's very convenient and cheap.
✓ I think they choose bikes to ride because they are very convenient and cheap.
Pronoun and noun agreement: 'bike' should be plural 'bikes' to match 'they'. 'It's' (it is) refers to one bike; use 'they are' to refer to bikes in general. Also 'choose bikes to ride' is more natural than 'choose bike to ride.' Suggestion: Ensure pronouns and verbs agree in number with the nouns they refer to; use 'they are' for plural subjects.
