Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are much cheaper to buy and maintain than cars. For example, many families choose motorcycles for daily commuting since fuel and parking are less expensive.
× Yes, I surely did have a bike when I was a child and it was a small one because umm, I really wanted to study and learn how we ride a bike.
✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child, and it was small because I wanted to learn how to ride a bike.
Issues: unnecessary 'surely' with 'did have' is awkward, 'a small one' can be simplified to 'small', 'study and learn how we ride a bike' is incorrect: 'study' is unnecessary and 'how we ride a bike' should be 'how to ride a bike'. Use infinitive 'to ride' after 'learn'. Suggestion: remove filler words and use 'learn to ride a bike' to make sentence natural and grammatically correct.
× Yes, it is because, uh, with the growing economy and the prices of other vehicles which are uh, not 2 Wheelers, it is really difficult to afford them.
✓ Yes, because with the growing economy the prices of other vehicles that are not two-wheelers are very high, so many people cannot afford them.
Issues: 'it is because' is an awkward clause starter; 'other vehicles which are uh, not 2 Wheelers' is wordy and '2 Wheelers' should be 'two-wheelers' (hyphenated words spelled out). 'it is really difficult to afford them' has unclear subject: people cannot afford them. Fix subject-verb agreement and clarity by specifying 'many people cannot afford them' and simplify phrasing.
× Hence people really choose 2 Wheelers, Moreover 4 Wheelers and I myself, we have 22.
✓ Hence people choose two-wheelers rather than four-wheelers. For example, my family has two vehicles.
Issues: inconsistent capitalization and punctuation ('Hence' and 'Moreover'), mixing numerals and words, unclear 'I myself, we have 22' (nonsensical). Clarify comparison 'two-wheelers rather than four-wheelers' and replace unclear personal example with a clear statement like 'my family has two vehicles' or specify number. Use words for numbers and correct sentence structure to convey meaning.
