× Yes, I had a bike when I turned to be a elementary school student.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I became an elementary school student.
Use 'became' instead of 'turned to be' for natural expression of changing status; 'an' is required before a vowel-starting adjective 'elementary' due to article rules. Suggestion: use 'became' and 'an' for concise correct past-tense phrasing.
× When I be taught to be, uh, use a bike, my, my father, uh, gave me a separate a birthday present.
✓ When I was taught to use a bike, my father gave me a special birthday present.
'Be taught' must be in past passive 'was taught' to match past timeframe; 'to be' is unnecessary. 'Separate a' is ungrammatical—use 'special' or 'separate' appropriately; 'a special birthday present' is natural. Remove filler words and duplicate words for clarity.
× Well, in my perspective, uh, riding bikes are more popular in Taiwan right now because bikes are a more healthy way, a more less pollutant way to to be a transportation.
✓ Well, in my perspective, riding bikes is more popular in Taiwan right now because bicycles are a healthier and less polluting form of transportation.
Use singular 'riding bikes is' as the activity is treated as a singular subject (gerund phrase). 'Bikes' can be replaced with 'bicycles' for formality; use comparative adjective 'healthier' and adjective 'less polluting' instead of 'more less pollutant.' 'to be a transportation' is incorrect—use 'form of transportation.' Remove duplicated 'to.'
