Ví dụ: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my city and across the country because many people use them for short trips. For example, there are numerous bike lanes and many neighborhoods are designed to be bicycle-friendly, which makes cycling a convenient option.
× I used to have a small my bike when I was like 5 or 6 year old years old.
✓ I used to have a small bike when I was about 5 or 6 years old.
You used both the determiner 'my' and the adjective 'small' together in an incorrect order; use either 'my small bike' or just 'a small bike'. Also 'year old years old' is redundant and 'like' is informal; 'about' is more appropriate. Use plural 'years' with an age greater than one. Suggestion: say 'I used to have a small bike when I was about 5 or 6 years old.'
× Then when I grew up and my parents gift me one for my 11th birthday I think it was a purple bike and it was bigger so I could use it better.
✓ Then when I grew up my parents gifted me one for my 11th birthday. I think it was a purple bike, and it was bigger so I could ride it more easily.
The verb 'gift' is incorrectly used in present tense; the past tense 'gifted' (or 'gave') is required because the action happened in the past. Also the original run-on sentence needs punctuation and clearer verbs: 'use it better' is awkward for riding a bike, so 'ride it more easily' is clearer. Suggestion: use past tense verbs for past events and split into two sentences for clarity.
× Bikes are probably the most popular way of transport in my country, not only in my country but in my city.
✓ Bikes are probably the most popular means of transport in my country, and especially in my city.
'Way of transport' is less natural; 'means of transport' is standard. The phrase 'not only... but in' is ungrammatical here; use 'and especially' or 'especially in' to express emphasis. Suggestion: use idiomatic collocations like 'means of transport' and restructure to avoid redundancy.
× There's a lot of road of bike lanes and the cities just built so you can travel by bike.
✓ There are a lot of bike lanes, and the city has built them so you can travel by bike.
Use 'There are' for plural 'bike lanes' (not 'There's a lot of road of bike lanes'). 'Road of bike lanes' is incorrect word order; 'bike lanes' is sufficient. 'The cities just built' is missing an object and wrong tense/form; use 'the city has built them' or 'cities have built them'. Also use singular/plural consistently: if referring to one city use 'the city has built them'; if plural use 'cities have built them.' Suggestion: use correct existential verb 'there are', proper noun order 'bike lanes', and correct tense and object for 'build'.
