No, not really. In my country bikes are not very popular because there are no umm secure places to park them on the roads or anywhere, and people UMM usually use their cars for traveling over the city.

Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Cevap iyi ama bazı dilbilgisi hataları ve dolgu kelimeleri (umm) var; ayrıca cümle yapısını biraz daha akıcı ve doğal hale getirmek için zamanları ve kelime düzenini düzeltmelisiniz. Özellikle 'didn't let me had one' yerine doğru yardımcı fiil ve fiil formunu kullanın; ayrıca gereksiz tekrarları azaltın ve bağlaçlarla bilgiyi daha mantıklı sıralayın. 5 cümleyi aşmadan detay verirken belirgin bir konu cümlesi ve bir-iki destekleyici ayrıntı kullanın.
Ví dụ: I got my first bike in fifth grade because my parents thought I was old enough. It was a small red bicycle, probably a bit too small for me, but I loved riding it around the neighborhood. I remember practicing every afternoon until I felt confident riding without help.

Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Cevap açık ama birkaç alanda geliştirilebilir: dolgu kelimelerini çıkarın, 'not really' gibi kısa cevaplardan sonra bir net konu cümlesi kurun ve nedenleri mantıklı bağlaçlarla sırayla verin. Ayrıca 'over the city' yerine daha doğal ifadeler kullanın (e.g. around the city). Spesifik örnek veya kısa karşılaştırma ekleyerek cevabı güçlendirin.
Ví dụ: Not really. Bicycles aren't very common where I live because there are few secure parking spots and the roads are often unsafe for cyclists. Moreover, most people prefer cars for longer trips around the city, so you rarely see commuters cycling to work.
× Before that my parents didn't let me had one.
✓ Before that my parents didn't let me have one.
The verb after 'let' should be in the base form (infinitive without to). 'Let' is followed by bare infinitive, so 'had' is incorrect. Use 'have' instead. Suggestion: learn common verbs that take bare infinitive after them (let, make, help) and practice forming negatives with auxiliary 'didn't' + base verb.
× The bike was red and very small for my age if I remember correctly and I used to ride it.
✓ The bike was red and very small for my age, if I remember correctly, and I used to ride it.
The original sentence is grammatically acceptable but needs commas to separate the parenthetical phrase 'if I remember correctly' for clarity. This is an article-related/punctuation clarity issue tied to sentence structure. Suggestion: insert commas around parenthetical phrases to improve readability.
× In my country bikes are not very popular because there are no umm secure places to park them on the roads or anywhere, and people UMM usually use their cars for traveling over the city.
✓ In my country bikes are not very popular because there are no secure places to park them on the roads or anywhere, and people usually use their cars to travel around the city.
Problems: unnecessary filler 'umm' removed; preposition 'for' in 'for traveling over the city' is awkward. Use 'to travel around the city' for natural English. 'Travel around' is the correct phrasal use to indicate movement within a city. Also 'over the city' suggests flying above; avoid that. Suggestion: replace 'for traveling over the city' with 'to travel around the city' and remove fillers for fluency.
