× Yes, I believe museums are really significant places where a nation's culture, umm, modern products and all sense of information is being presented.
✓ Yes, I believe museums are really significant places where a nation's culture, umm, modern products and all sense of information are presented.
The phrase 'all sense of information is being presented' is incorrect because 'sense' should be plural ('senses') to match 'all', and the passive continuous tense 'is being presented' is unnecessary here. Using the simple present passive 'are presented' is more appropriate to describe general facts.
× Historical ones are showing a window into the past.
✓ Historical ones show a window into the past.
The verb 'are showing' is in the present continuous tense, which is not suitable for general truths. Also, 'showing a window' is awkward; 'show a window' is better. The sentence should use simple present tense to express a general fact.
× So when we talk about a city which, uh, played an important role for historical, umm, empires, uh, there are lots of museums that have, uh, in historical play.
✓ So when we talk about a city which played an important role in historical empires, there are lots of museums related to that history.
The original sentence is fragmented and unclear. 'Have in historical play' is incorrect and confusing. The phrase 'played an important role for historical empires' should be 'played an important role in historical empires'. The correction improves clarity and grammatical structure.
× Honestly, I don't uh, I rarely visit museum.
✓ Honestly, I don't, uh, I rarely visit museums.
The noun 'museum' should be plural 'museums' because the speaker refers to museums in general, not a specific one. Also, the sentence needs a comma after 'don't' for clarity.
× If I go to a different city and I want to learn about your historical or general, umm, culture, I visit yes.
✓ If I go to a different city and I want to learn about their historical or general, umm, culture, I do visit museums.
The pronoun 'your' is incorrect because the speaker is talking about other cities, not the listener's culture. 'Their' is appropriate. Also, 'I visit yes' is awkward; 'I do visit museums' is clearer.
× Uh, other than that I don't really prefer museums because it, I don't find them interesting or umm, enhancing.
✓ Uh, other than that I don't really prefer museums because I don't find them interesting or enriching.
The word 'enhancing' is incorrectly used as an adjective here. The correct adjective is 'enriching' to describe something that adds value or interest. Also, 'it,' is unnecessary and confusing.
× The last time I visited the museum, I think it was about five years ago, we went to a city called Eskisehir in the centre of Turkey with my friends.
✓ The last time I visited a museum, I think it was about five years ago when we went to a city called Eskisehir in the centre of Turkey with my friends.
The sentence is a run-on and needs to be split or connected properly. Also, 'the museum' should be 'a museum' because it is not specified. Adding 'when' clarifies the time reference.
× Uh, it was so raining and randomly we just get in the museum.
✓ Uh, it was raining heavily and randomly we just went into the museum.
'So raining' is incorrect; 'raining heavily' is appropriate. 'Get in the museum' should be 'went into the museum' to correctly express entering a place in the past.
× It wasn't really interesting as I get in the exhibition hall.
✓ It wasn't really interesting when I got into the exhibition hall.
The verb 'get' should be in the past tense 'got' to match the past context. Also, 'as I get in' is incorrect; 'when I got into' is the correct phrase.
× It was really disgusting because it was a metric.
✓ It was really disappointing because it was chaotic.
The word 'disgusting' is too strong and likely incorrect in this context. 'Disappointing' fits better. Also, 'it was a metric' is unclear and likely a misuse; 'chaotic' or another adjective describing the situation is more appropriate.
