× I walk quite a lot because especially in the morning because I like to get up earlier and get outside and walk for around 3 or 4 kilometers.
✓ I walk quite a lot, especially in the morning, because I like to get up early and go outside and walk around 3 or 4 kilometers.
Redundant 'because' and awkward phrasing. Use 'especially' once, 'get up early' is the correct collocation, and 'go outside and walk around' is more natural. Remove repetition to improve clarity.
× Sometimes I even do some light exercise for my body and it makes me feel more energetic and feel.
✓ Sometimes I even do some light exercise, and it makes me feel more energetic.
The final 'and feel' is incomplete and redundant. Remove the extra word and join clauses with a comma and 'and'. Use concise expression: 'feel more energetic.'
× Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?
✓ Did you often go outside for a walk when you were a child?
The phrase 'have a walk' is nonstandard in this context. Use 'for a walk' or 'go for a walk.' The rest is correct in past question form.
× We used to play games, ride bicycles and a lot of entertainment times, uh outdoors back then, people children didn't spend a lot of time in in on phones that than they do now.
✓ We used to play games, ride bicycles and enjoy many outdoor pastimes. Back then, children didn't spend as much time on phones as they do now.
Multiple issues: awkward noun phrase 'a lot of entertainment times' should be 'many outdoor pastimes' or 'many outdoor activities.' Redundant filler 'uh' removed. Word order and comparison fixed: use 'didn't spend as much time on phones as they do now.'
× I think people like to walk in bars because they help, they can relax and breathe fresh air there.
✓ I think people like to walk in parks because there they can relax and breathe fresh air.
'bars' is likely a typo for 'parks.' Preposition: use 'in parks' or 'in the park'; 'there they can' or 'they can there' — better 'there they can.' Removed comma splice and corrected noun.
× Parks usually have a calm atmosphere so they they can reduce people's stress and recharge their emotionally.
✓ Parks usually have a calm atmosphere, so they can reduce people's stress and help them recharge emotionally.
Duplicate 'they' removed. 'Recharge their emotionally' is incorrect; use 'help them recharge emotionally.' Added comma before 'so' and clarified object 'them.'
× If I had a chance, I would like to walk surrounded by nature or Botanical Garden full of flowers and trees.
✓ If I had the chance, I would like to walk surrounded by nature or in a botanical garden full of flowers and trees.
Use 'the chance' (common expression) and include preposition 'in' before 'a botanical garden.' 'Botanical Garden' should be lowercase as a common noun and needs an article 'a.'
× I think it's uh, nature give you more enjoyable and relaxing walking.
✓ I think nature gives you a more enjoyable and relaxing walk.
Remove filler 'uh.' Subject-verb agreement: 'nature gives' (singular). Use noun phrases correctly: 'a more enjoyable and relaxing walk' instead of 'more enjoyable and relaxing walking.'
× Recently I have been going to bridge near my house, it's around 4 or 5 kilometers so it's perfect for a long time.
✓ Recently I have been going to the bridge near my house; it's around 4 or 5 kilometers, so it's perfect for a long walk.
Missing article 'the' before 'bridge.' Use semicolon or period to separate clauses. 'Perfect for a long time' is wrong — should be 'perfect for a long walk.'
× I really enjoy that walk because they give me some peaceful a long time and also there's a view is so beautiful and attractive.
✓ I really enjoy that walk because it gives me some peaceful time, and the view is very beautiful and attractive.
Pronoun agreement: 'that walk' is singular, so use 'it gives.' Remove awkward 'a long time' and replace with 'peaceful time.' Fix 'there's a view is' to 'the view is.' Use 'very' instead of redundant phrasing.
