Ví dụ: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in South Korea because they are practical for short trips and can avoid traffic congestion. For example, many people cycle along riverside paths or use bikes for commuting to nearby shops, which saves time and money.
× Yes, I used to ride a bike when I was a kid. I often ride.
✓ Yes, I used to ride a bike when I was a kid. I often rode.
The sentence mixes past habitual 'used to' with present simple 'I often ride.' To maintain consistent past tense when talking about childhood habits, use 'rode' after 'used to.' Suggestion: Use past simple for habitual past actions: 'I often rode.'
× I often rode a bike when I go to the Academy, which is about 20 minutes away along the river.
✓ I often rode a bike when I went to the academy, which was about 20 minutes away along the river.
The clause mixes past tense 'rode' with present tense 'go.' When describing past routines, all verbs should be in the past: 'went.' Also 'academy' is not a proper noun here so lowercase is fine, and maintain past reference for 'was.'
× I guess bikes are quite popular in South Korea, umm, they are very useful and convenient when uh, even there are traffic jams along uh, on the road, uh, it saves the time and.
✓ I guess bikes are quite popular in South Korea. They are very useful and convenient, because even when there are traffic jams on the road, they save time.
The original sentence is disfluent and structurally incomplete ('it saves the time and' is unfinished). Split into clearer sentences and use plural pronoun 'they' to refer to 'bikes.' Use 'when there are traffic jams' (correct clause order) and 'they save time' (clear subject-verb agreement). Also remove filler words.
