Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Make your response more fluent and grammatically correct: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific, linked reasons or examples. Avoid unnecessary words like 'me' and use correct articles and plurals. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'for example' to connect ideas.

× We used to Rd. it with my sister going to school.
✓ We used to ride it with my sister when going to school.
The verb 'Rd.' is incorrect (likely a typo) and should be 'ride'. After 'used to' the base form 'ride' is required, not an -ing form. Adding 'when' clarifies the time clause: 'when going to school'. Suggestion: use the base verb after 'used to' and write full words, not abbreviations.
× We had so much fun using it in our province.
✓ We had so much fun using it in our town/province.
The preposition 'in' can be acceptable, but 'using it in our province' is slightly odd when referring to riding a bike; 'in our town' or simply 'in the province' is clearer. Also 'using it' is unusual for riding a bike; 'riding it' is more natural. Suggestion: replace 'using it in our province' with 'riding it in our town' or 'riding it in the province'.
× Yes, bikes are very popular in our country because me, I live in a very small town in our province and we use bike as a way of transportation going to near places.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in our country because I live in a very small town in our province, and we use bikes as a way of transportation for going to nearby places.
The phrase 'because me, I live' is ungrammatical; the correct subject pronoun is 'I'. 'We use bike' needs plural 'bikes' or the article 'a bike'; here plural 'bikes' matches general statement. 'Going to near places' is awkward; use 'going to nearby places' or 'short distances'. Also add a comma before 'and' to connect clauses. Suggestion: use correct subject pronouns, match noun number, and use 'nearby' as adjective for places.
