✓ When I was a child, I got my first bike at the age of seven or eight, and it was really hard for me to learn to ride it at first, but then I learned and got used to it.
The sentence contains redundant fillers and awkward verb constructions. Use simple past consistently for past events (got, learned, got used). Replace 'learn how to ride a bike' with 'learn to ride it' for conciseness. Remove repeated 'then' and unnecessary 'uh' fillers. Also write numbers in words for formality. Suggestion: Practice forming concise past-tense sentences: use 'learned to ride' or 'learned to ride it' and avoid repeating conjunctions or fillers.
× People use them for a daily basis.
✓ People use them on a daily basis.
The correct prepositional phrase is 'on a daily basis'. 'For a daily basis' is incorrect because 'basis' requires 'on' to indicate frequency or regularity. Suggestion: Memorize common collocations with 'basis': 'on a daily basis', 'on a regular basis'.
× Uh, but there are another transport that are way more, more popular than bikes, uh, for example, buses or uh, taxi.
✓ But there are other modes of transport that are much more popular than bikes, for example, buses or taxis.
'Another' is used with singular countable nouns; use 'other' with plural 'modes.' 'Transport' as a countable idea in this context needs 'modes of transport'. Also 'are way more, more popular' is redundant; use 'much more popular'. 'Taxi' should be plural 'taxis' to match 'buses'. Suggestion: Use 'other' for plural nouns and ensure nouns agree in number with verbs and articles; replace repeated words with a single intensifier like 'much'.
× People use them more often in cold days.
✓ People use them more often on cold days.
Use the preposition 'on' with days: 'on cold days'. The verb 'use' is fine in present simple to describe habitual actions. Change 'in cold days' to 'on cold days'. Suggestion: Remember prepositions for time expressions: 'on Mondays', 'on cold days', 'in winter'.
