Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities and among students, because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. For instance, many people use electric bikes to commute to work and avoid traffic.
× No, I don't have a bike when I am child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
This sentence mixes present tense with a past-time reference. The question asks about the past (when you were a child), so the verb should be in the past tense. Use 'didn't have' for negative past simple and 'was' for the past form of 'to be.' Also include the article 'a' before 'child.' Suggestion: use past simple consistently for past time expressions (e.g., 'When I was a child, I didn't have a bike.').
× I think bikes are popular in my country.
✓ I think bikes are popular in my country.
This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses present simple appropriately to state a general opinion. No correction is needed.
