× that is the difference between the major friends now and the made them in the past time.
✓ That is the difference between my main friends now and the friends I had in the past.
The original uses incorrect plural forms and unclear nouns ('major friends', 'the made them'). Use 'my main friends' (singular possessive + noun) and 'the friends I had' to correctly express past relationships. Keep noun plurality consistent and use a relative clause for clarity.
× In the past time we usually talk so more and go out for walking or going for eating.
✓ In the past we usually talked more and went out for walks or to eat.
The sentence refers to past habits, so past tense verbs 'talked' and 'went' are required. Use 'walks' as a noun after 'go out for' and 'to eat' is the correct infinitive for purpose.
× And nowadays when we meet, I usually feel a discomfort to tell my things or my.
✓ Nowadays when we meet, I usually feel uncomfortable telling my thoughts or problems.
Use present simple for habitual action. 'Feel a discomfort' is incorrect; use adjective 'feel uncomfortable'. Use gerund 'telling' after 'feel uncomfortable'. 'My things or my' is incomplete; specify 'thoughts or problems'.
× And because some places are the memorable places like Coco enjoying that place with the friends or family and some of others not uh, like, uh.
✓ Some places are memorable because we enjoyed them with friends or family, while others are not.
Original sentence is fragmented and ungrammatical. Remove filler words and reorganize: use past 'enjoyed' if referring to past experiences, or present 'enjoy' for general. Use contrast 'while' to show difference.

✓ I usually like to spend time with a group of friends because in a group we sing songs, go out and go hiking, make noise, and share our problems.
Use plural 'friends' and correct phrases: 'spend time', not 'spend UMM'; remove unnecessary 'who is'. Use plural 'songs' and 'our problems'. Use parallel verb forms and simpler sentence structure.
× Yeah, I invite my friends at home like a best friends.
✓ Yes, I invite my friends to my home, like my best friends.
Use 'to my home' or 'to my house' instead of 'at home'. 'A best friends' mixes singular article with plural noun; use 'my best friends' or 'a best friend'.
× And your friends are very important for us because the friends help us to solutions our problems and, uh, make some make some comfortables.
✓ Friends are very important to us because they help us solve our problems and provide comfort.
Avoid incorrect pronoun 'your' when referring generally; use 'they' for 'friends'. 'Help us to solutions our problems' is wrong; use 'help us solve our problems'. 'Make some make some comfortables' is ungrammatical; use 'provide comfort'.
× Yeah, usually in the seasonable types of like a hiking seasons I usually often to go out with my friends and we enjoying with us and singing, dancing and playing games some and share problems.
✓ Yes, usually in hiking season I often go out with my friends and we enjoy ourselves by singing, dancing, playing games, and sharing problems.
Use present simple for habitual action: 'I often go out'. Remove redundant adverbs 'usually often'. Use 'hiking season' and 'enjoy ourselves'. Maintain parallel gerund forms for activities.
× We often meet each other in a park, park or in the some game places.
✓ We often meet each other in parks or at some game centers.
Avoid repeating 'park, park'. Use plural 'parks' for general places and 'game centers' or 'arcades' for clarity. Use preposition 'at' for specific venues.
× I usually like to share my problems with my friends and they gave me some solutions of that kinds of things and I really like to to talk about our future studies planned.
✓ I usually share my problems with my friends and they give me some solutions to those kinds of things, and I like to talk about our future study plans.
Use present simple 'share' and 'give' for habitual actions. 'Solutions of' should be 'solutions to'. 'That kinds' should be 'those kinds'. 'Future studies planned' is awkward; use 'future study plans'.
× Yeah, I have a friend known for a long time like umm, in a tent class, uh, usually in a 9th class.
✓ Yes, I have a friend I have known for a long time; we met in a tenth-grade class, usually in ninth grade.
Use present perfect 'have known' to indicate continuing relationship. 'Tent class' likely 'tenth class' or 'tenth-grade'. Clarify grade: either 'tenth grade' or 'ninth grade' — avoid both; here provide likely correction. Keep tense consistent.
× My friend's name is Chandra and that is uh, like my, uh, long time friends.
✓ My friend's name is Chandra and he is my long-time friend.
Use singular 'friend' because referring to one person 'my friend'. Use appropriate pronoun 'he' if gender known; use hyphen 'long-time'.

✓ We spent four years in school.
Referring to a past period requires past tense 'spent'. 'In school times' is ungrammatical; use 'in school'.
