分数: 52.0建议: Answer in the past tense because the question is about your childhood: use “When I was a child” and “I didn’t have.” Also, “public transport” is usually uncountable, and the reason would sound more convincing if you explained how you usually travelled.
示例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family usually travelled by bus, so I didn’t really need one.
