Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Well yes. I had a small red bike when I was a child. It was a simple one with training wheels and I used it to ride around the neighborhood with my friends. I rode it almost every afternoon after school because it was fun and used easy to use.

Pontuação: 72.0Sugestão: Be concise and correct grammar, avoid repetitions and give one or two specific details. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add a specific memory or reason using linking words. Correct small errors (e.g., “it was easy to use” not “used easy to use”).
Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike with training wheels that I rode around the neighborhood with my friends. For example, every afternoon after school we would race to the park, which helped me gain confidence in balancing before I removed the training wheels.

Pontuação: 66.0Sugestão: Give a clear topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons and linking words. Fix grammar (e.g., “they are an easy way to commute” and “short distances”).

× 'I rode it almost every afternoon after school because it was fun and used easy to use.'
✓ 'I rode it almost every afternoon after school because it was fun and easy to use.'
'used easy to use' is ungrammatical. The intended structures are either the adjective phrase "easy to use" or the past-tense verb "used to" with a bare infinitive (e.g., "used to ride"). In this sentence the correct choice is the adjective phrase "easy to use" modifying "it'. Suggestion: remove the word "used" so the phrase reads "easy to use'. Alternatively, if you meant habit, write "I used to ride it almost every afternoon'.
× '...bikes are popular in my country because it is a easy commute and people who do corporate jobs often use bike to travel in short distance.'
✓ '...bikes are popular in my country because they are an easy way to commute and people who have corporate jobs often use bikes to travel short distances.'
'it is a easy commute' has problems: wrong pronoun (it) and article 'a' before a vowel sound; better to use plural subject agreement and noun phrase "an easy way to commute'. Also "use bike" needs plural 'bikes' or an article, and 'in short distance' is incorrect preposition/number: use 'to travel short distances' or 'for short distances'. Suggestions: match subject and verb and use correct prepositions and plurals: "they are an easy way to commute"; "use bikes to travel short distances'.
× '...bikes are popular in my country because it is a easy commute ...'
✓ '...bikes are popular in my country because they are an easy way to commute ...'
The subject 'bikes' is plural, so the pronoun and verb must agree: use 'they are' not 'it is'. Also the noun phrase 'a easy commute' is awkward; 'an easy way to commute' is clearer. Suggestion: ensure pronouns and verbs match the number of the noun they refer to.
× 'people who do corporate jobs often use bike to travel in short distance.'
✓ 'people who have corporate jobs often use bikes to travel short distances.'
'do corporate jobs' is awkward; use 'have corporate jobs' or 'work in corporate jobs'. 'use bike' lacks plural or article; use 'use bikes'. 'in short distance' misuses 'in' and singular 'distance'; use 'to travel short distances' or 'for short distances'. Suggestion: use correct collocations: 'have corporate jobs' and pluralize 'bikes' and 'distances'.
