Of course, bikes are very much popular in India. There are thousands of models of bikes available in India and every child in the house will have a bike. That's how popular it is.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Answer directly in the past tense and avoid repeating “I love riding bikes.” Clarify whether you mean a bicycle or a motorbike, since “180cc” usually describes a motorcycle. Add one specific detail about where you rode it or how you felt.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a red bicycle when I was a child. I rode it around my neighbourhood almost every day, especially after school, and I really enjoyed it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 65.0Sugestão: Use the natural phrase “very popular” rather than “very much popular.” Support your opinion with a more precise example, and avoid broad claims such as “every child” unless you can qualify them. You could also clarify whether you mean bicycles or motorcycles.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in India, particularly motorcycles, because they’re a convenient way to get around busy cities. There are many makes and models available, and bicycles are also common among children in some neighbourhoods.
× Of course, bikes are very much popular in India.
✓ Of course, bikes are very popular in India.
Very much does not normally modify the adjective popular. Use very popular; very directly intensifies the adjective.
× That's how popular it is.
✓ That's how popular they are.
The pronoun it refers to bikes, which is plural, so it should be replaced with they. The verb must also agree with the plural subject: they are.
