× Yeah, I had a bike when I was a child because my dad and mom there like to teaching me to how to, uh, teaching me how to ride a bike.
✓ Yeah, I had a bike when I was a child because my dad and mom liked to teach me how to ride a bike.
The sentence uses incorrect pronoun placement and several verb form errors. 'There' is unnecessary and incorrect here; use simple subject 'my dad and mom'. The verbs should be past tense to match 'had' and 'when I was a child': use 'liked' (past) and the base form 'teach' with 'to' to form 'liked to teach'. Also remove the redundant 'to how to' and duplicate phrase. Suggestion: keep subjects close to verbs and maintain consistent past tense.
× I usually use a four wheel bike when I was young, but I usually.
✓ I usually used a four-wheeled bike when I was young.
Tense inconsistency: 'usually use' is present tense but context 'when I was young' requires past tense 'used'. The noun 'four wheel bike' should be hyphenated/treated as adjective + noun: 'four-wheeled bike'. Remove the trailing incomplete phrase 'but I usually.' Suggestion: match verb tense to time reference and complete or remove fragments.
× Umm, I think umm, people who live in Korea, they are usually try to ride the bike when they like they want to umm, experience a bike, bike or enjoy their hobby.
✓ Umm, I think people who live in Korea usually try to ride a bike when they want to experience cycling or enjoy a hobby.
Multiple tense and word choice issues: 'they are usually try' mixes present continuous with base verb—use simple present 'usually try'. 'They like they want to' is redundant; use 'when they want to'. 'Experience a bike' is unnatural; use 'experience cycling' or 'ride a bike'. Also 'the bike' should be 'a bike' for generalization. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual actions, avoid redundant phrases, and choose natural collocations like 'ride a bike' or 'experience cycling'.
× Umm, but.
✓ (Remove fragment)
'Umm, but.' is an incomplete sentence fragment; 'but' requires a following clause to contrast or add information. Suggestion: either complete the thought (e.g., 'But not everyone likes cycling.') or remove the fragment.
