Pontuação: 35.0Sugestão: Your answer is contradictory: “No” suggests you did not have a bike, but “I have a bicycle” says that you do. Keep your answer consistent and use the past tense when talking about childhood. Add one relevant detail to make it more complete.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 65.0Sugestão: You answer the question directly, but “there” and “in my country” are repetitive. Give a specific reason or example to support your opinion, and use a linking word such as “because” or “for example.”
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they’re an affordable and convenient way to get around. For example, many people use them to commute or run errands.

The sentence refers to a time in the past, indicated by 'when I was a child,' so the verb should also be in the past tense. Use 'had' instead of 'have'.
