Yes, for sure. I hit a bike when I was a child. Uh, I think it's a common thing for children to have that kind of things. That is why children always are really active and they have really so much things to do or to learn.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it to visit my friends and to go to the park on weekends. Because our neighborhood was small and safe, I practised cycling every day and improved my balance quickly.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Ukraine, especially in cities and among young people. For example, many people commute by bike in summer because it is faster than using a car in traffic. In addition, cycling groups and bike-sharing services have become more common recently.
× I hit a bike when I was a child.
✓ I had a bike when I was a child.
The student used 'hit' (past tense of 'hit') incorrectly; context asks about possession in the past, so the correct verb is 'have' in past form 'had'. Use 'I had a bike' to indicate possession in the past. Suggestion: use 'had' for past possession and avoid verbs with different meanings like 'hit'.
× Uh, I think it's a common thing for children to have that kind of things.
✓ I think it's common for children to have those kinds of things.
The phrase 'that kind of things' is ungrammatical: 'kind' requires 'of' plus plural 'things' and demonstrative should match number. Use 'those kinds of things' or 'that kind of thing'. Also 'a common thing' is acceptable but 'common for children' flows better. Suggestion: choose singular 'that kind of thing' or plural 'those kinds of things' consistently.
× That is why children always are really active and they have really so much things to do or to learn.
✓ That is why children are always really active and they have so many things to do and to learn.
Word order: 'always are' should be 'are always'. 'Really so much things' mixes intensifiers incorrectly; correct quantifier for countable plural 'things' is 'many', and 'so many' or 'really many' (but 'so many' is natural). Use 'and' instead of 'or' when listing two related activities. Suggestion: place adverbs after auxiliary/verb ('are always'), use 'so many' with plural count nouns, and use 'and' for combined actions.
× For sure in Ukraine there is a really great amount, the great number of people who are doing some sports, really different types of sports and the maturity really I would say is riding a bike.
✓ For sure, in Ukraine there is a large number of people who do various sports, and many of them ride bikes.
'Great amount' is used with uncountable nouns; for people use 'number' not 'amount'. 'The great number' is awkward; 'a large number' is natural. 'Who are doing some sports' should be 'who do various sports' for habitual actions. 'The maturity... is riding a bike' is unclear; likely meant 'many of them ride bikes.' Suggestion: use 'a large number of people', use simple present 'do' for habitual activities, and rephrase unclear metaphors into direct statements.
