Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Answer in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Use the natural phrase “I didn’t have a bike” and include the article “a” before “child.” You could add a brief reason or detail to develop your answer.

Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Your answer gives a clear opinion and a reason. Use “uses” with the singular subject “everyone,” and make the reason more specific—for example, mention commuting, short trips, or avoiding traffic. “Generally” would sound more natural after “everyone.”

× No, I don't have any bike when I was child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
The question asks about the past, so use the past-tense auxiliary didn't instead of don't. Use didn't have, not don't have, to describe not having a bike during childhood.
× No, I don't have any bike when I was child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
Use a before the singular countable noun bike and before child. In this context, a bike expresses having one bike, and a child refers to the speaker during childhood.
× Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because generally everyone use bikes for their day-to-day travel.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because generally everyone uses bikes for their day-to-day travel.
Everyone is grammatically singular, so the present-tense verb needs the third-person singular ending -s: everyone uses.
