Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Candidato
Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child my parents bought for me when I was like 5 or 6 and I use it every day around my neighborhood and I ride it every day. Riding the bike helped me gain confidence and independence and I finally feel proud the day where I finally rode it without the training we used for the first time.

× Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child my parents bought for me when I was like 5 or 6 and I use it every day around my neighborhood and I ride it every day.
✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was about 5 or 6, and I used it every day around my neighborhood.
Run-on sentence and inconsistent past tense: the sentence mixes past simple and present simple ('use','ride') when describing past habits. Split into two sentences for clarity, change 'use' and 'ride' to past tense 'used' and remove repetition. Also change 'bought for me' to 'bought it for me' for correct object placement and 'like 5 or 6' to 'about 5 or 6' for formality and correctness.
× Riding the bike helped me gain confidence and independence and I finally feel proud the day where I finally rode it without the training we used for the first time.
✓ Riding the bike helped me gain confidence and independence, and I finally felt proud the day I rode it without the training wheels for the first time.
Tense inconsistency and word choice: 'feel' should be past 'felt' to match past context. 'Where' is incorrect for referencing a day; use 'the day I...'. 'Training we used' is incorrect phrase; correct term is 'training wheels'. Rearranged for clarity and removed duplicate 'finally'.
× Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities where traffics are a huge problem.
✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities where traffic is a huge problem.
Pluralization error: 'traffic' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized as 'traffics'. Changed to singular 'traffic'.
× Many people use them for a short commute and running errands because they are inexpensive and environmental friendly.
✓ Many people use them for short commutes and to run errands because they are inexpensive and environmentally friendly.
Parallelism and word form errors: 'a short commute' should be plural 'short commutes' to match 'many people'. Use parallel verbs: 'use them for short commutes and to run errands'. 'Environmental friendly' is incorrect word form; use adverb 'environmentally friendly'.
× Such as if you are going to a nearby shop or if you are going somewhere close you could use.
✓ For example, if you are going to a nearby shop or somewhere close, you could use a bike.
Fragment and awkward structure: sentence begins with 'Such as' creating a fragment. Rephrase to 'For example' and complete the clause with an object 'a bike'. Add commas for clarity.
