× But yeah, it's exhibition has a lot of meaning and we can learn history or umm, or famous metallians and their art and so on.
✓ But yeah, its exhibition has a lot of meaning, and we can learn history or famous metallians and their art and so on.
The original uses "it's" (contraction of it is) instead of the possessive pronoun "its." Use "its" to show possession. Also add a comma before "and" for clarity and remove the repeated "or". Suggestion: use "its" for possession and proofread for repeated words.
× Umm, actually in my hometown in Japan, umm, there are few museums, so umm, but yeah, in at Ueno Station there are many kinds of museums.
✓ Umm, actually in my hometown in Japan, there are a few museums, but at Ueno Station there are many kinds of museums.
"There are few museums" implies almost none; the intended meaning is likely "there are a few museums." Also remove the extra preposition "in" before "at Ueno Station." Suggestion: use "a few" for a small number and check preposition placement.
× When I was a child, I often go there.
✓ When I was a child, I often went there.
The sentence refers to a habitual action in the past, so the past simple "went" is required instead of the present "go." Suggestion: match verb tense to time expressions like "when I was a child."
× Do you often visit a museum?
✓ Do you often visit museums?
The context asks about visiting museums in general, so the plural noun "museums" or the general form is more natural than the singular "a museum." Suggestion: use plural for general habits or rephrase as "a museum" if asking about a single visit.
× I actually studying abroad, umm studied in New Zealand.
✓ I actually studied abroad in New Zealand.
The original mixes present participle "studying" without auxiliary and past tense "studied." Use the past simple "studied" to indicate completed action. Suggestion: avoid mixing forms; choose the correct tense and include auxiliary if using continuous forms.
× So I go there with my friend on holidays, umm like yeah, some resting day.
✓ So I went there with my friends on holidays, like on some days off.
The speaker refers to past study-abroad habits, so past tense "went" fits better. Also use plural "friends" if more than one; "some resting day" is unidiomatic, better "some days off." Suggestion: match tense and use natural collocations like "days off."
× Uh, maybe last time is 2 months ago I went to the Otago Museum, which is uh, umm umm, big famous museum in Dunedin, New Zealand.
✓ Uh, maybe two months ago I went to the Otago Museum, which is a big, famous museum in Dunedin, New Zealand.
When indicating a past time, use past tense structure "two months ago I went." Replace "is" with the past reference and add the article "a" before "big famous museum." Spell out numbers under ten in speech writing. Suggestion: use "two months ago" and include appropriate articles.
× Umm, you can learn the about multicultural or Pacific or wildlife like that.
✓ Umm, you can learn about multiculturalism, the Pacific, or wildlife there.
Remove the extra article "the" before "about." Use nouns or noun phrases correctly: "multiculturalism," "the Pacific," and "wildlife." Also add "there" to clarify location. Suggestion: choose correct noun forms and avoid misplaced articles.
