Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child, but I found it difficult to learn at first because I was afraid of falling. After a few lessons with my older cousin, I gradually became more confident and could ride without training wheels.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Give a clear, complete topic sentence and then add specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid short fragments and unclear clauses. Mention examples and reasons concisely and correct grammar (e.g., use "who enjoy riding").
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, my hometown has many parks and bike paths, and large cities like Moscow and Saint Petersburg have dedicated cycling lanes and rental schemes, which encourages more people to cycle for leisure and commuting.
× Yes, I had, but when I was child it was big trouble for me to understand how to ride a bike.
✓ Yes, I had one, but when I was a child it was very difficult for me to learn how to ride a bike.
Errors: missing object after 'had' (article/noun), missing article before 'child', awkward phrase 'big trouble' and verb 'to understand' not appropriate for learning a skill. Correction details: add 'one' after 'had' to specify the bike (singular object), add the article 'a' before 'child', replace 'big trouble for me to understand how to ride a bike' with 'very difficult for me to learn how to ride a bike' which uses correct collocation. Suggestion: use 'learn' for acquiring skills and include necessary articles and objects. Grammar problem type ID:5
× Yes, I do. In my hometown there are a lot of places where people can ride their bikes.
✓ Yes, I do. In my hometown there are many places where people can ride their bikes.
Errors: 'a lot of' is acceptable but 'many' is more natural before plural noun in formal speech; this is a style suggestion rather than strict grammar. Main structure is correct. Suggestion: use 'many' with countable plural nouns for a slightly more formal and natural phrasing. Grammar problem type ID:6
× And of course in big cities. In Moscow, in Saint Petersburg, there are a lot of special zones for people who prefer.
✓ And of course in big cities. In Moscow and Saint Petersburg there are many special zones for people who prefer cycling.
Errors: fragment 'And of course in big cities.' is a sentence fragment but acceptable in speech; the next sentence ends with 'for people who prefer' which is incomplete because it lacks an object or infinitive. Correction: combine city names with 'and' and complete the relative clause with 'cycling' to indicate what people prefer. Suggestion: ensure relative clauses include the object or verb they modify. Grammar problem type ID:26
× Who enjoying riding?
✓ Who enjoys riding?
Errors: 'Who enjoying riding?' lacks auxiliary or correct verb form after 'who'. For third-person singular 'who' referring to people in general, use 'enjoys' (simple present). Correction: 'Who enjoys riding?' is a grammatical question. Suggestion: in questions with 'who' use appropriate verb forms and subject-verb agreement; include auxiliary 'do/does' if necessary (Who does enjoy riding? is possible but uncommon).
