Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Make your response clearer and more fluent. Give a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (e.g., "Umm"), correct awkward expressions (e.g., "very much popular," "between boys aged from UH-17 to 25"), and add one specific example or reason using a linking word. Keep sentences concise and grammatical.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially among young people. For example, many boys and girls aged about 17 to 25 ride motorcycles and bicycles when they go out with friends because it is cheap and convenient for short trips.
× Yes, I had a bike when I was the age of 11.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was 11.
Use of 'the age of' is unnecessary and unnatural in this context. The correct, concise expression is 'when I was 11.' This fixes a singular/plural and idiomatic number expression issue by removing an extra noun phrase that conflicts with the age reference.
× Bikes are very much popular in our country, mostly among the younger generation.
✓ Bicycles are very popular in our country, especially among the younger generation.
'Very much popular' is unidiomatic; use 'very popular' or simply 'popular.' Also 'bikes' can be formalized to 'bicycles.' Replacing 'mostly' with 'especially' improves clarity and sentence flow. This corrects awkward adverb placement and overall sentence structure.
× Umm, specifically it is very much famous between boys aged from UH-17 to 25.
✓ Specifically, it is very popular among boys aged 17 to 25.
Use 'among' rather than 'between' for a group. 'Aged from UH-17 to 25' is incorrect: drop 'from' when giving an age range and remove 'UH-'. Also 'very much famous' is unidiomatic; use 'very popular' or 'well known.' This fixes preposition misuse and awkward phrasing.
× They usually ride it with their friends on outing and.
✓ They usually ride them with their friends when going on outings.
The original sentence ends abruptly and has wrong pronoun agreement: 'ride it' should be 'ride them' (bicycles). 'On outing and.' is incomplete; change to 'when going on outings' to form a complete, natural clause. This addresses sentence fragment and pronoun reference issues.
× Many more places.
✓ They go to many different places.
'Many more places.' is a sentence fragment. Provide a full clause: 'They go to many different places.' This completes the sentence and clarifies meaning.
