× My parents give it to me for my birthday gifts and I would cycle to the park almost every afternoon with my sister.
✓ My parents gave it to me as a birthday gift, and I would cycle to the park almost every afternoon with my sister.
The sentence describes a past event, so the verb 'give' should be in the past tense 'gave'. Also, 'birthday gifts' is plural and awkward; use the singular 'a birthday gift' or 'birthday presents' depending on context. Use 'as' to show the purpose/role of the gift. Suggestion: use past tense verbs consistently when narrating past events.
× I love the sense of freedom and often roll around the playground with my friends.
✓ I loved the sense of freedom and often rolled around the playground with my friends.
The student is recounting childhood experiences, which require past tense narration. 'Love' and 'roll' should be changed to 'loved' and 'rolled' to match the past timeframe. Suggestion: maintain consistent past tense when describing past habits and feelings.
× Many people use them for daily commuting as well as weekend recreation, and we even have more famous manufacturer Giant.
✓ Many people use them for daily commuting as well as weekend recreation, and we even have the well-known manufacturer Giant.
The phrase 'more famous manufacturer' is ungrammatical here. Use an article plus adjective: 'the well-known manufacturer' or 'the famous manufacturer'. 'The' is needed because a specific manufacturer (Giant) is being referred to. Suggestion: use 'the' with a specific, known singular noun and choose an appropriate adjective ('well-known' or 'famous').
× The government has invested in extensive bike paths and bike sharing schemes which make cycling convenient for urban residents.
✓ The government has invested in extensive bike paths and bike-sharing schemes, which make cycling convenient for urban residents.
Add a hyphen in 'bike-sharing' as a compound modifier and include a comma before the nonrestrictive relative clause 'which make...' for proper punctuation. The grammar is mostly correct but needs punctuation and hyphenation to improve correctness and clarity. Suggestion: use hyphens for compound nouns used as modifiers and include commas for nonrestrictive clauses.
