Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Correct grammar, word choice and make the supporting detail more specific. Use plural forms and clearer phrases (e.g., "many people commute by bicycle"). Use a linking word to connect reason and example. Keep it natural and within five sentences and include a short example or statistic if possible.
Ví dụ: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country because many people commute to work by bike. For example, in my city a large number of office workers and students cycle every day, especially during rush hour, because it is cheaper and faster than public transport.
× No, I don't have bike when I was child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
This sentence mixes present simple ('don't have') with a past time reference ('when I was a child'). Use past simple for past situations: 'didn't have'. Also 'bike' needs the indefinite article 'a' and 'child' needs the article 'a' as well. Suggestion: use consistent past tense and include articles for singular countable nouns.
× Yes, bicycle is very popular in my country because there is a lot of people who daily ups and downs from their work on the bicycle.
✓ Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country because a lot of people travel to and from work by bicycle every day.
Multiple issues: 'bicycle' should be plural 'bicycles' to match general plural meaning, requiring plural verb 'are' (subject-verb agreement). 'There is a lot of people' is incorrect; use 'a lot of people' (no 'there is') and treat 'people' as plural. The phrase 'daily ups and downs from their work' is unnatural; replace with 'travel to and from work' and move 'every day' to clarify frequency. Also use 'by bicycle' for means of transport. Suggestion: use plural nouns for general statements, correct verb agreement, and use natural expressions for routines.
