Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school because my family lived nearby, and my parents preferred that I be with friends or adults when going farther. As a result, I didn’t learn to ride until I was a teenager.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 50.0Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons or examples and a linking word to make it coherent. Mention where or among whom bikes are popular to add detail. Keep it natural and avoid repetition (use plural 'they' or 'bicycles').
Ejemplo: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially in cities and among students. For example, many people use them for short commutes because they are cheap and convenient, and there are several bike lanes in urban areas to support cycling.

The subject 'bikes' in the question is plural, so the pronoun referring back to it should be 'they' and the verb should agree in number: 'are' for plural. The original sentence used 'it is', which is singular and causes a subject-verb disagreement. Suggestion: identify the noun being referred to (bikes = plural) and use the matching pronoun and verb: 'they are'.
