Multiple sentence structure problems: unnecessary filler words, redundant fragments, incorrect word order, and wrong adjective form. Specific issues: 'a six year old' should be 'six years old' (age expression), 'my bro on my birthday' is a fragment and unclear, 'he loves bike' should be 'he loved bikes' (tense and count/word form), and 'delighting' is the wrong form; use the adjective 'delighted'. Suggestion: remove fillers (uh), split into clear sentences, use correct age expression 'six years old', past tense 'loved', plural 'bikes' or 'a bike' depending on meaning, and adjective 'delighted'.
× From my perspective, uh, bikes are very popular in my country. Uh, many households have own at least one and it is convenient in a heavy traffic and it is affordable for everyone and bus.
✓ From my perspective, bikes are very popular in my country. Many households own at least one, and they are convenient in heavy traffic. They are affordable for everyone and are a good alternative to buses.
Several grammar and word-choice errors: 'have own at least one' is incorrect verb construction; use 'own at least one' or 'have at least one'. 'It is convenient in a heavy traffic' has wrong pronoun and article; use plural 'they' for bikes and no article with 'heavy traffic' ('in heavy traffic'). 'it is affordable for everyone and bus' incorrectly mixes singular pronoun and 'bus' as unclear; better to say 'affordable for everyone and a good alternative to buses'. Suggestions: use correct verb 'own', match pronouns to plural 'bikes' with 'they', remove unnecessary articles, and clarify comparison with buses.
