Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Make the answer more natural and specific: state a clear topic sentence, then give specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because, for instance, and therefore). Use plural nouns and natural collocations (e.g., “everyday life” not “routine life”).
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient. For example, many people use bicycles to commute short distances to work or the market, and as a result they help avoid traffic and save money.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
This sentence mixes present tense 'don't have' with past time 'when I was a child'; use past tense 'didn't have' (Past tense issue, ID 5). Also 'bike' needs an article 'a' (Article errors, ID 22). Use 'a bike' for a singular countable noun. Suggestion: change to 'I didn't have a bike' to match past time reference and correct article usage.
× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because it is very useful for everyday routine life.
✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because they are very useful for everyday life.
The sentence uses singular pronoun 'it' to refer to plural 'bikes' so change to plural pronoun 'they' (Incorrect use of pronouns, ID 12). Also 'is' should be 'are' to agree with plural subject 'bikes' (Subject-verb agreement, ID 27). 'Everyday routine life' is wordy; 'everyday life' is idiomatic. Suggestion: use 'they are very useful for everyday life' for correct agreement and clearer expression.
