× I recall that when I was a child, we didn't have any cars.
✓ I recall that when I was a child, we didn't have any cars.
This sentence is grammatically correct and uses the past tense appropriately to describe a past situation.
× I had a dream to have cars on that time because it was enjoyable for me and my siblings to go on a travel with our cars rather than using public transportation system like minibus and bus.
✓ I had a dream to have a car at that time because it was enjoyable for me and my siblings to travel by car rather than using public transportation systems like minibuses and buses.
The phrase 'cars on that time' is incorrect; 'a car at that time' is appropriate because the dream is about having a car in general. 'Go on a travel' is incorrect; 'travel' is uncountable here. 'Public transportation system' should be pluralized to 'public transportation systems' to match 'minibuses and buses.' Also, 'minibus and bus' should be pluralized to 'minibuses and buses' for consistency.
× But it was not affordable.
✓ But it was not affordable.
This sentence is correct; the modal verb usage is appropriate.
× Nowadays there's a trend around the world most people like to SUV's and I'm not an exception because it raise my confidence and I like to buy SUVs and autopiloted vehicles.
✓ Nowadays, there's a trend around the world: most people like SUVs, and I'm not an exception because they raise my confidence. I like to buy SUVs and autopiloted vehicles.
The phrase 'like to SUV's' is incorrect; it should be 'like SUVs' as 'SUV' is a noun, not a verb. 'It raise' is incorrect subject-verb agreement; 'they raise' is correct because 'SUVs' is plural. Also, the sentence structure is improved by splitting into two sentences for clarity.
× I get stressed when I'm driving and my heart tanked.
✓ I get stressed when I'm driving and my heart sinks.
The phrase 'my heart tanked' is incorrect in this context; 'my heart sinks' is the correct present tense expression to describe feeling stressed or anxious while driving.
× I prefer to use autopilot.
✓ I prefer to use autopilot.
This sentence is correct; modal verb usage is appropriate.
× To be honest, I prefer to be a passenger because I get stressed and I have a extra, I get a extra stress when I driving and because of the safety of cars and also roads, I'm not sure that they are really safety for me.
✓ To be honest, I prefer to be a passenger because I get stressed and I have extra stress when I am driving. Also, because of the safety of cars and roads, I'm not sure that they are really safe for me.
The phrase 'a extra' is incorrect; 'extra' is an uncountable noun here and should not have 'a'. 'I get a extra stress' should be 'I have extra stress'. 'When I driving' is incorrect; it should be 'when I am driving'. 'They are really safety' is incorrect; 'safe' is the correct adjective to describe safety.
× I prefer to be a passenger rather than use the cars.
✓ I prefer to be a passenger rather than use cars.
The definite article 'the' before 'cars' is unnecessary here because the sentence refers to cars in general, not specific cars.
× Since we live in the small town we don't have lots of traffic congestion so we can go to our destination.
✓ Since we live in a small town, we don't have much traffic congestion, so we can get to our destination.
'The small town' is incorrect unless referring to a specific town; 'a small town' is appropriate here. 'Lots of traffic congestion' is better expressed as 'much traffic congestion' because 'traffic congestion' is uncountable. 'Go to our destination' is better phrased as 'get to our destination'.
× But when I go traveling I at first I prefer to be a patient but air pushing is really high and I get upset.
✓ But when I go travelling, at first I prefer to be patient, but the pressure of the air is really high and I get upset.
'Be a patient' is incorrect; 'be patient' is the correct phrase. 'Air pushing' is unclear; 'the pressure of the air' is clearer. Also, 'travelling' is the British English spelling.
× I prefer to listen to music and also I sometimes read audio, listen to the audiobooks and have a cheat.
✓ I prefer to listen to music, and sometimes I listen to audiobooks and have a cheat.
'Read audio' is incorrect; you listen to audio, not read it. 'Have a cheat' is unclear; it might mean 'have a cheat meal' or 'cheat' in some other context, but it is better to clarify or omit. The sentence is corrected to reflect proper verb usage and clearer meaning.
