× Yes I do have a bike when I was a child, but I often get scared when riding a bike, especially if they don't have a guiding wheel.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but I often got scared when riding it, especially if it didn't have training wheels.
Issues: present auxiliary 'do have' is incorrect for past time reference (use past tense 'had') — Past tense issue (ID 5). Mixed present habitual 'often get scared' should match past context (use 'often got scared') — Past tense issue (ID 5). Pronoun 'they' referring to a singular bike is incorrect; use 'it' — Incorrect use of pronouns (ID 12). 'Guiding wheel' is nonstandard; use 'training wheels' (word choice but treated as adjective/noun choice). Suggestions: Use consistent past tense when describing past experiences, replace plural pronoun with singular to match 'bike', and use common term 'training wheels'.
× Yeah, I think it is popular in our country specifically if you were a child, they yeah, it is usually prone to children.
✓ Yeah, I think bikes are popular in our country, especially among children.
Issues: 'it is popular' mismatches plural 'bikes' — Subject-verb agreement / singular-plural issue (IDs 27 and 1). The clause 'if you were a child' is awkward and incorrect for general statement; use 'especially among children' — Sentence structure/tense issue (ID 26 and 6). 'They yeah, it is usually prone to children' is ungrammatical: 'prone to' is wrong here (objects don't get 'prone'); use 'popular among children' and remove filler words. Suggestions: Make subject and verb agree in number, use 'among' to indicate group, and avoid filler words for clarity.
× They have a lot of that. While when it comes to adult, it is usually used in hobbies like riding a bike with like with tournament like that.
✓ There are many of them. As for adults, bicycles are usually used for hobbies, such as recreational riding or competitions.
Issues: 'They have a lot of that' is vague and ungrammatical; 'There are many of them' or 'Many people have them' fixes structure — There be issue / sentence structure (IDs 3 and 26). 'When it comes to adult' needs plural 'adults' and article/number agreement — Incorrect use of nouns/pronouns (ID 12) and singular/plural issue (ID 1). 'It is usually used' is vague and mismatched; better to use plural 'bicycles are usually used' — Subject-verb agreement (ID 27). Repeated 'like with' and 'like that' are redundant; 'such as recreational riding or competitions' is clearer. Suggestions: Use correct plural forms, choose precise nouns, and restructure sentences to match number and intended meaning.
