× Yes I did, I have a bike when I work was a child and me and my father will always go to the umm the adulten river to ride the bikes bike together.
✓ Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child, and my father and I would always go to the nearby river to ride our bikes together.
Multiple tense and structure errors: 'have' should be past 'had' to match 'when I was a child' (Past tense issue). 'work' is incorrect — likely 'I was' needed. Pronoun order 'me and my father' is nonstandard; use 'my father and I'. 'will always go' is inappropriate for habitual past; use 'would always' or 'used to'. 'adulten river' seems to be a mispronunciation or wrong word; replaced with 'nearby river' for clarity. 'the bikes bike' is redundant; use 'our bikes'. Suggestion: ensure past-tense consistency for past events, use correct pronoun order, and choose vocabulary that fits context.
× Yes, riding by, it's really popular in my country, Taiwan, because, uh, Taiwan, it's, it's a small island.
✓ Yes, riding bikes is really popular in my country, Taiwan, because Taiwan is a small island.
Present tense and word choice errors: 'riding by' is incorrect; it should be 'riding bikes' (Present tense issue). Repeated 'it's, it's' is redundant; streamline to 'Taiwan is' for clarity. Suggestion: use the correct noun 'bikes' after 'riding' and avoid unnecessary repetition; keep present simple for general facts.
× It's really easy and convenient to ride a bike to everywhere.
✓ It's really easy and convenient to ride a bike everywhere.
Incorrect preposition 'to' before 'everywhere' is unnecessary (Incorrect use of prepositions). 'Everywhere' does not require 'to'. Suggestion: drop 'to' when using 'everywhere' and maintain infinitive 'to ride' + object.
× And some people were also riding bikes to explore and travel around in Taiwan.
✓ And some people also ride bikes to explore and travel around Taiwan.
Tense mismatch: the speaker is describing a general habit, so present simple 'ride' is appropriate instead of past progressive 'were riding' (Past tense issue). Also 'travel around in Taiwan' is wordy; 'travel around Taiwan' is clearer. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual or general statements.
