The student used present perfect 'have had' with a specific past time expression 'when I was a child'. In English, the simple past is required for actions completed at a definite time in the past. Use 'I had' instead of 'I have had'. Suggestion: Use simple past for finished past events with time markers (e.g., 'when I was a child', 'in 2010').
× Yes, because some people doesn't have cars and bikes are more efficient and convenient than just walking.
✓ Yes, because some people don't have cars, and bikes are more efficient and more convenient than walking.
The clause 'some people doesn't have' mixes a plural subject 'people' with the singular verb form 'doesn't'; correct is 'don't have'. Also 'than just walking' is acceptable but clearer as 'than walking', and parallelism improved by adding 'more' before 'convenient'. Suggestion: Match verb form to subject number (people -> don't). Keep comparisons parallel: 'more efficient and more convenient than walking' or simply 'more efficient and convenient than walking'.
