Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Ответ соответствует вопросу, но выражение famous transport неестественно; лучше сказать a popular form of transport или a popular way to get around. Уточните, кто именно пользуется велосипедами и почему, а также замените it на them, чтобы согласовать местоимение с bikes.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children. They’re an affordable and convenient way to get around, and many children enjoy riding them in parks or around their neighbourhoods.
× Yes, I had the bike when I was a child.

Use the indefinite article a because this is the first mention of a bike and you are referring to any bike, not a specific one already known to the listener.
× In my opinion, bikes are popular in our country because it's a famous transport for children and they like it.
✓ In my opinion, bikes are popular in our country because they are a popular means of transport for children, and children like them.
Transport is generally uncountable in this meaning, so a transport is not appropriate. Use a countable phrase such as a means of transport. Also, use they and them to refer clearly to the plural noun bikes.
