Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two concise supporting reasons with linking words.

× When I was child I did not have bike because my parents were not able to get me a bike.
✓ When I was a child, I did not have a bike because my parents were not able to get me one.
Missing article 'a' before 'child' and 'bike' is a singular countable noun that requires an article; also use 'one' to avoid repetition. Add comma after introductory phrase. This fixes sentence structure and article usage (also relates to Article errors and Singular/plural). Use 'a child' and 'a bike' or 'one bike'.
× I have spent my I had spent my childhood without bike and playing with toys.
✓ I spent my childhood without a bike and played with toys.
Mixed tenses 'have spent my I had spent' is incorrect; choose simple past 'spent' to match 'When I was a child'. 'Bike' needs the article 'a'. Also change parallel structure: 'spent my childhood ... and played with toys' or 'spent my childhood without a bike, playing with toys.' Remove redundant words. Use consistent past tense for past experiences.
× These were very memorable days of my life.
✓ Those were very memorable days of my life.
Use 'those' rather than 'these' when referring back to days in the past. The sentence is otherwise grammatical. This is a pronoun deictic choice correcting sentence coherence.
× Yes, of course, bikes are very famous in my country because these not only help people to move from one place to other place, but also creates easy convenient for people and other persons to carry luggage from one place to another place.
✓ Yes, of course, bicycles are very popular in my country because they not only help people move from one place to another, but also make it easy and convenient for people to carry luggage.
Replace 'bikes' with 'bicycles' or keep 'bikes' but use 'popular' not 'famous'. 'These' should be 'they'. Remove extra 'to' and 'place' repetition: use 'from one place to another'. 'Creates easy convenient' is ungrammatical; use 'make it easy and convenient'. 'Other persons' is redundant. Fix subject-verb agreement: 'they ... make', not 'creates'. Overall adjust vocabulary and structure to be natural and grammatical.
× So I think this is very helpful.
✓ So I think they are very helpful.
Referring to 'bikes/bicycles' (plural), use plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'are'. 'This' is singular and does not agree with the plural subject. Use plural form for coherence.
