Errors: missing passive auxiliary 'was', missing preposition 'to' after 'given', incorrect repetition 'given my given by', and wrong article/preposition for 'birthday' ('on my 9th birthday'). Suggestion: Use the passive form 'was given', include the indirect object with 'to me', remove duplicate words, and use 'on' with specific days/events.

Multiple errors: missing verb 'are' (be issue/verb), wrong plural noun/pronoun pairing 'every second children' should be singular 'every second child' (singular/plural issue), subject-verb agreement 'children have' incorrect with 'every second' (use 'child has'), and incorrect verb form 'doing competition' should be 'have competitions' or 'compete' (verb form issue). Suggestions: include the correct form of 'be' with plural subject 'bikes are', use 'every second child' when referring to each individual in a statistic, ensure subject-verb agreement ('child has'), and use natural collocations like 'have competitions' or 'often compete.'
