Example: Yes, bikes are popular in many parts of my country, especially in large cities. For example, in the capital there are many bike lanes and bike-sharing programs, so lots of people cycle to work. However, in my city cycling is less common because there are few dedicated lanes and the roads are hilly, so most people prefer cars.
× Yes, I actually did have a bike when I was a child and I actually do. I currently do today.
✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child, and I still do today.
The sentence mixes past reference with present affirmation awkwardly. Use 'did have' for past and 'still do' to indicate continuation into the present. Remove the repeated 'actually' and 'currently' to improve naturalness. Suggestion: separate past and present with a comma and use 'still' to show continuity.
× Maybe in most of the cities, for example in the capital they are really popular, but in my city not that much.
✓ Maybe in most cities, for example in the capital they are really popular, but in my city they are not that common.
Use 'in most cities' (no 'of') for natural English. Also include subject 'they' before 'are not that common' to complete the clause. 'Popular' is fine but 'common' suits frequency contrast better. Suggestion: remove unnecessary preposition 'of' and include the subject for clarity.
