分數: 30.0建議: Give a clear answer, then explain where people use bikes and why. The response is difficult to follow because “from everywhere” and “which is a” are unclear, and the verb forms in “to having” and “parents wants” are incorrect. Use specific examples and complete your final thought.
範例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. You can see children riding them in parks for fun, while many adults use them for exercise or short trips. Some older people also enjoy cycling because it is a gentle way to stay active.
