Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Your answer gives a relevant reason, but “gas prices” and “oil prices” are repetitive. Explain more specifically how high fuel costs encourage people to cycle, and use a linking phrase to connect your ideas.
Exemplo: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. Since fuel is expensive, some people cycle for short trips to save money and avoid traffic.

The examiner asks whether you had a bike when you were a child, so the answer should use the past tense. Change do to did to match the past-time context.
