Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Thí sinh
I think bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them to commute to school or work. The government has introduced the rules for cyclists, but these rules haven't reached everyone yet, so some people are still confused.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: 回答は基本的に明確で内容もある程度含まれていますが、いくつか改善点があります。まず、文のつながりが不自然な箇所(“Until now.”)があり、文法的に不完全です。回答はトピック文の後に具体的な詳細を付け加えている点は良いですが、接続詞(e.g. “and”, “so”, “because”)や時間表現を使って文を論理的につなげるとより自然になります。また語彙の幅を少し広げ、例えば「practiced」「gained confidence」「enjoy cycling」など適切な動詞や表現を使うと良いでしょう。回答は5文以内に収められているため長さは適切です。改善のために、主語文→理由/詳細→結果/現在の状況、という流れを意識して答えてください。
Ví dụ: Yes. I had a bike when I was a child and I first learned to ride it at six. My friends practiced with me in the park, so I gradually gained confidence and stopped using training wheels. Because I enjoyed it, I still like cycling now and go for rides whenever I have free time.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: 回答は直接的で理由も述べており情報が整理されています。ただし、より具体的な例や比較、数字などを加えると説得力が増します。接続詞(例えば“however”や“for example”)を使って対比や補足を明確にすると論理的です。また、“rules haven't reached everyone” は意味は通じますが、より自然な表現(“not everyone is aware of them” や “they are not well enforced”)を使うとよいでしょう。語彙を広げて“commute”の他に“short trips”や“bike-sharing schemes”などを加えると豊かになります。
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting to school or work. For example, bike-sharing schemes are common in cities, and many students cycle to campus. However, not everyone is aware of the new cycling rules, and they are not always well enforced, so some cyclists still ride unsafely.
× Until now.
✓ Until now, I still enjoy cycling.
This fragment is a sentence structure error because 'Until now.' is a sentence fragment and lacks a main verb or clear connection to the previous sentence. To correct it, combine it with a main clause or expand it so it expresses a complete idea. For example, 'Until now, I still enjoy cycling.' or 'I have liked cycling until now.' would provide a verb and clarify the intended meaning. Suggestion: Link fragments to adjacent sentences or add a verb to form a complete sentence.
× The government has introduced the rules for cyclists, but these rules haven't reached everyone yet, so some people are still confused.
✓ The government has introduced rules for cyclists, but these rules haven't reached everyone yet, so some people are still confused.
This sentence contains an article/word choice issue rather than a modal verb problem; however, based on the allowed list we treat it as modal/word usage adjustment. Removing the definite article 'the' before 'rules' makes the sentence more natural because we refer to rules in general rather than a specific known set. The rest of the sentence is grammatically correct. Suggestion: When speaking about rules or policies in general use no article: 'introduced rules' or specify them if using 'the' (e.g., 'the new rules').
