So I didn't really like going to the parks when I was a child because the parks in the Philippines are not very clean and it's not well maintained. And also my parents did not allow me to go out because it's not very safe for us to go out in public in our city.

Do you still like going to parks now?

Living in China has changed my perspective about parks. Parks in China is there. Parks in China are very clean, well maintained and it's good to stay around for a long time. We can do barbecues, do picnics and enjoy each other's company, especially with friends and family.

× 'Parks in China is there.'
✓ 'Parks in China are common.'
'Parks' is plural, so the verb must be 'are' not 'is'. The original 'is there' is also awkward; replace with 'are common' to convey existence and frequency clearly.'
× 'Parks in China are very clean, well maintained and it's good to stay around for a long time.'
✓ 'Parks in China are very clean and well maintained, and they are good places to stay for a long time.'
Mixing 'parks' (plural) with 'it's' (singular) causes a number mismatch and awkward phrasing. Use 'they are' to match plural subject, and change 'stay around' to 'stay' or 'good places to stay' for natural present-tense description.'
× 'We can do barbecues, do picnics and enjoy each other's company, especially with friends and family.'
✓ 'We can have barbecues, have picnics, and enjoy each other's company, especially with friends and family.'
'Do barbecues' and 'do picnics' are understandable but unidiomatic. Use 'have' for activities like barbecues and picnics; verbs are parallel and agree with plural subject 'we'.'},{
× 'Yes, I do want to see more parks in my city because parks in China, they have a different they have different themes.'
✓ 'Yes, I do want to see more parks in my city because parks in China have different themes.'
The original repeats phrases and inserts an unnecessary pronoun 'they', causing redundancy and a break in subject-verb flow. Use 'parks ... have' to keep subject and verb agreement and remove repetition.'
× 'They have, umm, very well maintained.'
✓ 'They are very well maintained.'
'Well maintained' is an adjective phrase describing parks and needs a form of 'be' (are) to link it to the subject. The original lacks the linking verb, so the sentence is incomplete.'
× 'People can sleep in the parks, do picnics and just spend time around with family.'
✓ 'People can sleep in the parks, have picnics, and just spend time with family.'
'Spend time around with family' is awkward; the correct prepositional phrase is 'spend time with family'. Also 'do picnics' is unidiomatic; use 'have picnics'.'
× 'Yes I do. I wanna visit the parks in Shanghai where we can see the Oriental tower.'
✓ 'Yes, I do. I want to visit the parks in Shanghai where we can see the Oriental Tower.'
'Wanna' is informal spoken contraction; use 'want to' in a formal or written response. Capitalize 'Tower' as part of a proper name. Modal 'can' is fine for ability but keep 'want to' for intent.'
× 'It looks very cool.'
✓ 'It looks very cool.'
This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed; included here only to indicate it fits the context and tense.
× 'The view is spectacular, especially comparing to to Zhuhai city.'
✓ 'The view is spectacular, especially compared to Zhuhai.'
Use 'compared to' or 'compared with' for comparisons, not 'comparing to'. Remove the duplicate 'to' and the redundant word 'city' when the place name alone suffices. This corrects the comparison structure.'
