Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear direct answer, then provide one or two specific reasons using linking words (for example, because, also).

× Having a bike at childhood is really interesting and I am one of them.
✓ Having a bike in childhood was really enjoyable and I was one of those children.
The speaker refers to a past period (childhood), so present tense 'is' and present 'am' are incorrect. Use past tense 'was' and rephrase 'one of them' to 'one of those children' for clarity. Also 'at childhood' is non-idiomatic; use 'in childhood' or 'when I was a child'.
× In my childhood my parents gifted me by cycle instead of bike because I were underage to drive it as the limit of age to drive bike is 18 plus.
✓ In my childhood my parents gifted me a bicycle instead of a bike because I was underage to drive one, as the legal age to ride a bike is 18.
Several issues: 'gifted me by cycle' is incorrect—use 'gifted me a bicycle'. 'Bike' and 'bicycle' distinction clarified. 'I were' is wrong subject-verb agreement; use past singular 'I was'. Also use 'ride' or 'ride a bike' rather than 'drive' for bicycles, and express legal age succinctly: 'the legal age to ride a bike is 18.' This corrects past participle misuse and subject-verb agreement.
× So I have bicycle to ride for my daily works.
✓ So I had a bicycle to ride for my daily tasks.
Tense should be past to match childhood context: 'have' -> 'had'. Article missing: 'a bicycle'. 'Daily works' is incorrect collocation; use 'daily tasks' or 'daily activities'. This fixes singular/plural and article usage.
× Yes, people in my country are fond of bikes as they are inspired from TV shows and movies as they're the heroes of the movies play stunt on bikes and the youth is inspired from them and the market of bikes is rapidly increasing in India generally of youth.
✓ Yes, people in my country are fond of bikes because they are inspired by TV shows and movies, where the heroes perform stunts on bikes. Young people are especially inspired, and the market for bikes is rapidly increasing among youth in India.
Use 'inspired by' rather than 'inspired from'. 'Play stunt on bikes' is ungrammatical; use 'perform stunts on bikes'. 'The youth is inspired from them' should be 'young people are especially inspired' for clarity and agreement. 'Market of bikes is rapidly increasing' should be 'market for bikes is rapidly increasing'. Also split into clearer sentences and maintain present tense where appropriate for general statements.
