Is bicycle park correct ?
Dear Teachers,
Please kindly correct my translation . I don't khow how to say in English the words in bold type , so please replace them with the correct words that are acceptable in the USA or UK :
In my country motorcycles and bicycles are a popular means of transportation , so there are many bicycle and motorbicycle parks to keep your bikes and motorbikes , just as in western countries cars are a popular means of transportation and there are many car parks there . When you take your bike or motobike into the bicycle or motorcycle parks , the motorbike/bike keeper will give you a small piece of paper called motorbike/bike keeping ticket .You must keep this ticket carefully because when you return to take out your bike or motorbike , you must give back this motorbike/bike keeping ticket to the motorbike/bike keeper. Of course , the motorbike/bike keeper will charge you 5 cents for keeping your motorbike/bike .The money you pay them is called parking fee.
Thank you in advance

There is FAR too much repetition in your paragraph! Do this: In my country, motorcycles and bicycles are popular means of transportation, so there are many parking lots for them , just as in western countries, there are many cars and car parks. When you park your bike or motorbike in the lot, the attendant will give you a receipt.

Hi Monalisatuan,
Mostly it's good. I think you need to capitalize "Western" and remember that there is no space BEFORE the punctuation mark. I believe "car park" is British English, while "parking lot" is American English. I changed the part about "called" because it's NOT really called that. You're trying to describe what it is, but it doesn't really have a name.
