Ví dụ: Yes, I did. We bought it from a second-hand shop in my hometown, but it was quite cheap, so we had to repair the brakes before using it.

The main grammatical issue is past tense usage and word choice. 'Needed to' is acceptable but 'had to' is more natural for required past actions; keep tense consistent in the past. Also 'Japanese surplus' is a noun phrase missing 'shop' to be clear. Add a comma before 'so' to separate clauses. Suggestion: use 'had to' for obligation in the past and include the noun 'shop' for clarity.
× Butts are popular in my country especially in food take out deliveries app because some workers there uses bike as their transport from houses to houses and stores to houses.
✓ Bikes are popular in my country, especially for food takeout delivery apps, because some workers there use bikes to travel from house to house and from stores to houses.
Multiple errors: 'Butts' is a wrong word likely intended 'Bikes' (word choice/pronoun error). 'Food take out deliveries app' has incorrect noun order and missing articles; use 'food takeout delivery apps'. Subject-verb agreement: 'workers ... uses' should be 'workers ... use' (plural subject with plural verb) — this is an instance of incorrect pronoun/subject use and subject-verb agreement. Preposition and phrasing: 'as their transport' is unnatural; use 'to travel' or 'for transport'. Repetition 'houses to houses' should be 'house to house' or 'from house to house'. Suggestions: choose correct noun 'bikes', correct app phrasing, match verb to plural subject, and use natural prepositions 'to travel from house to house'.
