× The park has many trees and berths, and the fresh air and the greenery makes me feel calm and refreshed.
✓ The park has many trees and benches, and the fresh air and the greenery make me feel calm and refreshed.
The student used 'berths' incorrectly; context calls for 'benches' (count noun). Also 'the fresh air and the greenery' is a compound subject (plural) so the verb must be 'make' not 'makes'. Fixes: replace incorrect noun and ensure subject-verb agreement.
× I usually take a slow fork.
✓ I usually take a slow walk.
'Take a slow fork' is incorrect collocation; the intended phrase is 'take a slow walk'. Use common collocations for natural English.
× I'll do light exercise there, which helps me. Of stress and lift my mind.
✓ I do light exercise there, which helps me relieve stress and lift my mood.
Fragment 'Of stress and lift my mind' is ungrammatical. 'Relieve stress' is the correct collocation and 'lift my mood' is appropriate. Also keep tense consistent (present simple) for habitual actions.
× I recharge by staying at home reading or listening to music and sometimes I go to park along to enjoy nature and the fresh air.
✓ I recharge by staying at home reading or listening to music, and sometimes I go to the park alone to enjoy nature and the fresh air.
Missing article 'the' before 'park' and wrong word 'along' should be 'alone'. Also punctuation added to separate clauses for clarity.
× Those quite activities helps me clear my mind and feel. Paste.
✓ Those quiet activities help me clear my mind and relax.
'Those quiet activities' is plural, so the verb should be 'help' not 'helps'. 'Quite' is a misspelling of 'quiet'. The fragment 'feel. Paste.' is incorrect; replace with 'relax' to complete the idea.
× I particularly enjoy songs by JoJo, his tracks like Dao Xiang and Deng Yi Xia Ke as smoking and help me sleep better.
✓ I particularly enjoy songs by JoJo; his tracks like Dao Xiang and Deng Yi Xia Ke are soothing and help me sleep better.
The clause was ungrammatical: 'as smoking' is incorrect. Replace with 'are soothing' to describe the music. Also separate clauses with a semicolon or conjunction. Ensure verbs agree and meaning is clear.
× If the weather is bad, I usually stay at home and watch light hearted dramas or stand up comedies because they make me laugh and help me relax.
✓ If the weather is bad, I usually stay at home and watch light-hearted dramas or stand-up comedies because they make me laugh and help me relax.
Compound adjectives 'light-hearted' and 'stand-up' should be hyphenated when used before nouns. This fixes punctuation and improves readability.
