Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are inexpensive and convenient. For example, many people use bicycles to commute to work and run short errands, especially in crowded cities where traffic is heavy.
× No, I don't have a bike when I was child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
The sentence refers to a past time ('when I was a child') so the past simple tense is required. 'Don't have' is present simple and does not match the time frame. Also add the article 'a' before 'child'. Use 'didn't have' to show past negative: 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'
× I have got my first bike when I was 18.
✓ I got my first bike when I was 18.
The clause 'when I was 18' specifies a finished past time, so the past simple ('got') is appropriate. 'Have got' (present perfect) is used for actions with relevance to the present or unspecified time, so it is incorrect here. Use 'I got my first bike when I was 18.'
× Yes, bikes are often popular in my country by plays vital role for traveling.
✓ Yes, bikes are often popular in my country and play a vital role in travel.
Sentence has multiple issues: 'by plays' is ungrammatical — use a conjunction 'and' plus correct verb form 'play' to match plural 'bikes' (subject-verb agreement). 'A vital role' needs the indefinite article 'a'. Use preposition 'in' with 'travel' (or 'for traveling') and 'travel' as a noun is more natural here. So: 'bikes ... play a vital role in travel.'
× It uh, people use bike to travel.
✓ People use bikes to travel.
The original mixes an unnecessary pronoun 'It' with 'people'. Remove 'It' and make 'bike' plural to generalize; match plural with verb: 'use bikes'. Also use the infinitive 'to travel' is fine. So: 'People use bikes to travel.'
× Uh, people use bike to uh, reach offices, their workplace and many more places.
✓ People use bikes to reach offices, their workplaces, and many other places.
Make 'bike' plural to match general subject 'people' ('bikes'). 'Workplace' should be plural 'workplaces' because referring to different people's workplaces. Use 'many other places' instead of 'many more places' for natural phrasing. Include commas properly and remove filler 'uh'.
