× Last Saturday I'd get along with my husband, went to cinema and watched the movie new released because I think the movie can give us more time on cinema and also can help us relax in.
✓ Last Saturday I went with my husband to the cinema and watched the newly released movie because I thought the movie could give us more time together at the cinema and help us relax.
Multiple tense and word order errors: 'I'd get along with' is incorrect for past action; use 'I went with' for a past event (Past tense issue). 'went to cinema' needs the article 'the' and natural order 'went with my husband to the cinema'. 'new released' is wrong adjective order and form; use 'newly released'. 'I think' should match past perspective 'I thought' because the event is in the past. 'can give us more time on cinema' is unidiomatic; use 'give us more time together at the cinema'. Suggestion: use simple past for completed past events, correct article usage and adjective forms, and maintain logical tense consistency.
× Normally I prefer to spend time with my families and friends such as together do some cooking and hiking.
✓ Normally I prefer to spend time with my family and friends, doing things like cooking and hiking together.
'my families' is incorrect because 'family' is a collective noun and should be singular here (Incorrect use of quantifiers). Word order 'such as together do' is ungrammatical; better to use a participle phrase 'doing things like' and place 'together' at the end. Suggestion: use 'family' for your household, and use 'doing things like X and Y together' for clarity.
× When you close to the nature you can feel.
✓ When you are close to nature, you can feel it.
Missing verb 'are' and unnecessary article 'the' before 'nature' (Sentence structure errors). The original lacks a complete predicate, making it incomplete. Use 'are close to nature' and include an object or pronoun 'it' to complete the thought. Suggestion: always include a verb and check articles with uncountable nouns like 'nature'.
× Yes, I think the music is the way to help us feel comfortable in our mind and besides that if you feel stressed from your work and the soft music can help you climb down and help you build beautiful mood.
✓ Yes, I think music is a way to help us feel comfortable in our minds, and if you feel stressed from work, soft music can help you calm down and improve your mood.
Several article and word choice issues: 'the music' should be general 'music' (Incorrect use of articles). 'the way' is better as 'a way' because one of many methods. 'in our mind' should be plural 'in our minds'. 'climb down' is incorrect collocation; use 'calm down'. 'build beautiful mood' is unidiomatic; use 'improve your mood'. Also remove unnecessary 'besides that' and ensure commas to join clauses. Suggestion: use general nouns without 'the' when speaking generally, prefer natural collocations like 'calm down' and 'improve mood'.
× Normally, I prefer to go hiking with my families and friends because I think the nature is the best medicine to help us feel unstressed from the work. You can find some interest.
✓ Normally, I prefer to go hiking with my family and friends because I think nature is the best medicine to help us relieve work stress. You can find it interesting.
'my families' should be 'my family' (Incorrect use of quantifiers). 'the nature' should be 'nature' without 'the' when speaking generally (Incorrect use of articles). 'feel unstressed from the work' is unidiomatic; use 'relieve work stress' or 'feel less stressed by work'. 'You can find some interest' is unnatural; 'You can find it interesting' or 'You can find many interesting things' works. Suggestion: use singular collective nouns for family, omit 'the' with general nouns like nature, and choose idiomatic expressions for stress and interest.
