Score: 30.0Suggestion: Bạn đã nêu quan điểm trực tiếp, nhưng phần giải thích còn khó hiểu và câu cuối chưa hoàn chỉnh. Dùng “bicycles” hoặc “cycling” thay cho “bicycle” khi nói chung; dùng “teenagers and older people” thay cho “teenager and elder”. Hãy nêu rõ mọi người dùng xe đạp để làm gì, chẳng hạn đi học hoặc đi làm, và giải thích bằng một lý do cụ thể như tiết kiệm tiền hoặc tránh tắc đường. Kết thúc câu và dùng từ nối như “because” hoặc “for example”.
Example: Definitely. Bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially among teenagers and older people. Many teenagers ride them to school, while some older people use them for short trips because they are affordable and convenient.

A singular countable noun such as bicycle needs an article, but the sentence refers to bicycles in general, so the plural form bicycles is more natural and does not take an article.
× I believe that bicycle is quite popular in my country, especially teenager and elder.
✓ I believe that bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially among teenagers and older people.
Teenager and elder refer to groups of people here, so plural forms are needed. Older people is also a clearer and more natural expression than elder in this context.
× I believe that bicycle is quite popular in my country, especially teenager and elder.
✓ I believe that bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially among teenagers and older people.

× They often use high school because of convenience and effort, the ability to especially going to school, working or.
✓ They often ride them to high school because they are convenient and require little effort. They are especially useful for going to school or work.
The original sentence combines incomplete and unclear clauses, and it ends with an unfinished list after or. Use ride them to high school to express how the students use bicycles, and complete the final list with school or work.
