Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 88.0Gợi ý: Ответ хорошо организован: сначала высказано мнение, затем приведены причины и конкретный пример. Следует писать “eco-friendly” через дефис. Слово “really” можно заменить более точным “highly” или убрать, чтобы избежать простого повторения; также утверждение “almost all of my friends” может звучать более естественно как “many of my friends”. Для большей содержательности можно добавить результат, например уменьшение пробок или расходов на транспорт.
