Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Clarify grammar and reduce hesitations. Start with a direct topic sentence, correct tense and word order, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and avoid filler sounds ("uh").
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was a child because my parents bought it for my eighth birthday. It had training wheels at first, and I remember riding it around the park with my friends every afternoon.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Improve vocabulary accuracy and sentence structure. Begin with a clear opinion, then give two specific reasons connected with linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Avoid repetition and correct word choice ("bikes", not "whites").
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. For example, many people use bicycles to commute to work or the market, and they are also useful in crowded urban areas where cars are impractical.
× Yes, I did a bike when was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The original sentence lacks the correct verb and subject structure. 'Did a bike' is incorrect because 'have' is the correct main verb to indicate possession and in past simple it becomes 'had'. Additionally, the clause 'when was a child' is missing the subject 'I'. Use 'I had a bike when I was a child.' This fixes verb choice and sentence order. Suggestion: Use 'have' for possession (past: had) and include the subject in subordinate clauses.
× Uh, it was a very small and red colour and uh, my parents bought for me on my birthday.
✓ It was very small and red, and my parents bought it for me on my birthday.
Problems: 'small and red colour' misuses 'colour' and adjective order/structure; 'a very small and red colour' is awkward — describe the object directly: 'very small and red.' Also 'bought for me' lacks the object; English requires the object pronoun after 'bought' or the direct object before the prepositional phrase: 'bought it for me.' 'On my birthday' is correct. Suggestion: Place adjectives before the noun or describe the noun directly, and include the direct object when using 'buy' with 'for someone'.
× Yes, I think whites are popular in our country because it is a helpful for travelling for one place to another place and it is a important for it is a important for visit on the time.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in our country because they are helpful for travelling from one place to another, and they are important for visits.
Multiple issues: 'whites' is incorrect word choice; the intended noun is 'bikes'. Subject-verb agreement: 'bikes' is plural, so use 'they are' not 'it is.' 'a helpful' and 'a important' misuse the article 'a' with uncountable/adjective constructions; use 'helpful' without 'a' or 'useful' + 'for' structure. 'travelling for one place to another place' is awkward; use 'travelling from one place to another.' Redundant phrase 'it is a important for it is a important for visit on the time' should be simplified to 'they are important for visits' or 'they are important when visiting places.' Suggestion: Use correct noun ('bikes'), match plural subjects with plural verbs, remove incorrect articles before adjectives, and use idiomatic prepositions ('from... to...').
