Score: 5.0Suggestion: You repeated the question and changed “your country” to “our country,” so you did not give an answer. State your opinion directly and support it with a relevant reason or example.
Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. They’re an affordable way to get around, and many people use them for short journeys.
