Ví dụ: Bikes are quite popular among schoolchildren in my country because many students cycle to school. However, they are less common than in some countries where motorcycles are restricted and cycling is more encouraged.
× No, I didn't have in my childhood.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike in my childhood.
The original sentence omits the object 'a bike' after 'have'. In English, 'have' as a transitive verb needs a direct object here. Add 'a bike' to make the meaning clear. Also keep past tense 'didn't have' for childhood. Suggestion: Always include the noun that 'have' refers to (e.g., 'have a bike').
× I used to borrow my friend by to learn how to drive.
✓ I used to borrow my friend's bike to learn how to ride it.
Multiple issues: 'used to' already expresses past habitual action; 'borrow' needs an object (what was borrowed) and the possessive form 'my friend's' for the bike. 'Drive' is incorrect for bicycles — use 'ride'. Remove extraneous words like 'by'. Suggestion: Use 'borrow + object' and correct verb for the vehicle: 'borrow my friend's bike to learn how to ride it.'
× And now I still don't have my own bike and I still don't know how to drive it and I'm still trying because I think it's really important to learn.
✓ Now I still don't have my own bike, I still don't know how to ride one, and I'm still trying because I think it's really important to learn.
Use 'ride' not 'drive' for bikes. 'Don't have my own bike' is fine in present tense. Replace 'drive it' with 'ride one' for clarity and natural phrasing. Also combine clauses with commas and 'and' to improve sentence structure. Suggestion: Use consistent vocabulary for bicycles ('ride') and simplify repeated 'still' if desired.
× I think many pupils are using it, but if I think it's not as popular as in other countries because in other countries they don't allow to allows allows people to use motorbike, but in the.
✓ I think many pupils use them, but I don't think bikes are as popular as in other countries because in some countries they don't allow people to use motorbikes.
'Are using' is awkward here; simple present 'use' is better for habitual actions. 'It' should be 'them' (pupils use bikes). 'If I think' is incorrect — use 'I don't think'. Remove extra words 'to allows allows allows'. Use 'motorbikes' plural and correct word order 'allow people to use motorbikes'. The original sentence was incomplete; this correction completes the thought. Suggestion: Use simple present for general facts, ensure subject-verb agreement and correct infinitive structure 'allow people to do something.'
