× Yes, I remember that I have two bikes when I were tied and the first one is when I'm three years old and it's and it's a tricycle and the second one is when umm, I'm in secondary school and I have used that to go to my school.
✓ Yes, I remember that I had two bikes when I was a child. The first one was when I was three years old and it was a tricycle, and the second one was when I was in secondary school; I used that to go to school.
Errors: plural/singular inconsistencies and wrong verb forms. 'have' should be past 'had' because the speaker refers to the past. 'were tied' is incorrect and unclear; likely intended 'was a child' or 'was little.' 'I'm three years old' should be past 'I was three years old.' 'it's a tricycle' should be past 'it was a tricycle.' 'I'm in secondary school' should be past 'I was in secondary school.' 'I have used that to go to my school' should be simple past 'I used that to go to school.' Suggestion: keep all time references consistently in the past tense and use correct singular/plural forms (e.g., 'a tricycle', 'two bikes').
× I think bikes used to be popular in my country, but right now people mainly travel by cars so it's not as popular as it's used to be.
✓ I think bikes used to be popular in my country, but right now people mainly travel by car, so they are not as popular as they used to be.
Errors: incorrect present tense agreement and wrong use of 'it's' and 'used to be'. 'People mainly travel by cars' is awkward; 'travel by car' is the correct general expression. 'it's not as popular as it's used to be' mixes singular 'it' with 'people/bikes' and has extra 'it's'. Correct form: 'they are not as popular as they used to be.' Suggestion: ensure subject pronouns match the noun ('bikes' -> 'they') and use the fixed expression 'travel by car.'
