Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are cheap and environmentally friendly. For example, many people in cities use them to avoid trafficking to keep fit.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 回答切题,也补充了骑车地点和感受,但“snow ride bike”和“wave it”表达不准确,建议分别改为你想表达的自行车类型,以及“learned to ride it”。可以再补充一个具体细节,例如谁教你骑车或你常去哪里骑。
Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small blue bike, and I learned to ride it around my neighborhood with my father. I really enjoyed exploring the nearby streets on it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: 回答直接,理由也清楚,并使用了例子。不过,“avoid trafficking”不符合这里的意思;可以说“avoid traffic”或“avoid traffic jams”。另外,建议把“锻炼身体”与避开拥堵之间的关系表达得更自然,例如说明骑车通勤既方便又能保持健康。
Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they’re affordable and environmentally friendly. For example, many people in cities ride them to work to avoid traffic jams. It’s also a convenient way to get some exercise.
