Did you like going to parks as a child?
Candidato
Yes, it was my favorite activity when I was a child because I spent quality time with my dad and with my sister. So I remember that on Saturdays we used to go in the morning and on Sundays we used to go in the evening, sometimes with my mom too.

Do you still like going to parks now?
Candidato
Absolutely. It's one of my favorite activities nowadays. I go with my friends, sometimes with my sister and unfortunately my dad does not go with me right now. But we spend a beautiful time and we play a lot like football or basketball. They are our favorite sports to play.

Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Candidato
Yes, I think it's important for the kids to have this open space to develop their own creativity, their own imagination, their play skills, and to meet new friends, as well as to connect with their community. For sure, I would say that it would be a great improvement in all the cities.

Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Candidato
Yes, there is a particular part in Monterrey that it's called Zimbabwe, so this is a very popular park in there where a lot of people meet. They have open activities such as basketball and football matches, so I would love to go.

× we used to go in the morning and on Sundays we used to go in the evening
✓ we used to go in the morning and on Sundays we used to go in the evenings
The original mixes singular/plural for 'evening' after 'Sundays'. When referring to repeated occurrences on Sundays, use the plural 'evenings'. Use 'evenings' to indicate multiple instances over time.
× unfortunately my dad does not go with me right now
✓ unfortunately my dad does not go with me right now
No correction needed for third person singular here; the verb form 'does not go' is already correct for present simple negative with third person singular.
× I go with my friends, sometimes with my sister and unfortunately my dad does not go with me right now
✓ I go with my friends, sometimes with my sister, and unfortunately my dad cannot come with me right now
The original 'does not go with me right now' is grammatical but sounds unnatural when explaining a current inability. Replacing with 'cannot come with me right now' uses a more natural verb and modal for expressing inability in the present.
× it would be a great improvement in all the cities
✓ it would be a great improvement for all the cities
Use the preposition 'for' to indicate benefit or improvement pertaining to cities. 'In all the cities' suggests location rather than benefit.
× Yes, there is a particular part in Monterrey that it's called Zimbabwe
✓ Yes, there is a particular park in Monterrey that is called Zimbabwe
Two issues: 'part' should be 'park' (word choice) and the clause 'that it's called' is ungrammatical. Use 'that is called' or 'called'. Also 'there is a particular park in Monterrey' uses 'there is' correctly to introduce existence.
× this is a very popular park in there where a lot of people meet
✓ this is a very popular park there where a lot of people meet
Using both 'in' and 'there' is redundant and ungrammatical. Use 'there' alone or 'in Monterrey'. 'park there' or 'park in Monterrey' are correct.
× we spend a beautiful time and we play a lot like football or basketball
✓ we have a great time and we play a lot, such as football or basketball
'Spend a beautiful time' is unnatural; use 'have a great time'. Also 'play a lot like football' is ambiguous; 'such as football or basketball' clarifies examples. The change keeps intended meaning and corrects collocation.
