Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Make your answer clearer and more natural. Use “one of the most popular forms of transport” rather than “a most popular vehicle,” and say “many people in rural areas ride bikes to the market.” Replace “for processing” with the activity you mean, such as shopping or buying groceries. Give one specific reason or example, and avoid repeating the subject (“people, they”).
