Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 20.0Gợi ý: Use the past tense to match “when you were a child”: say “I didn’t have” rather than “I don’t have.” The phrase “when I was shot” does not fit the question and may be a pronunciation or word-choice error; use “when I was a child.” Add one relevant detail, such as how you got around instead.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I usually walked to school, and my parents drove me to places that were farther away.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Answer in one clear opening sentence, for example, “Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.” Avoid the unclear word “bizarre”; use “they are” or “they’re.” Correct “peoples” to “people,” “it” to “them,” and “write” to “ride.” Give a specific reason or example, and avoid repeating “from one place to another place.”
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. They’re relatively affordable, and people often ride them to work or to nearby shops because they’re convenient in busy areas.

The question asks about the past, and the clause when I was shot also refers to a past time. Use the past-tense auxiliary didn't instead of don't. For past questions and negative statements, use did or didn't + the base form of the verb.
× Very popular in my country.
✓ They are very popular in my country.

✓ All of the people can easily afford it these days.
People is already the plural form of person in this context. Peoples is generally used to refer to distinct ethnic or cultural groups. Use people when referring to individuals in general.

✓ All of the people can easily afford them these days.
