× I work a lot because I like to listen music while I was working and I want to be a fit mom and set a good example for my baby.
✓ I work a lot because I like to listen to music while I'm working and I want to be a fit mom and set a good example for my baby.
Use 'listen to' (verb + preposition) and keep the same present time reference: 'while I'm working' uses the present continuous to match 'I work a lot' and habitual present. Also add the missing preposition 'to' after 'listen'. Suggestion: Use 'listen to music' and the present continuous for simultaneous actions: 'while I'm working'.
× Yes, I remembered my father and me used to go on long walks.
✓ Yes, I remember my father and I used to go on long walks.
Use 'remember' (present) not 'remembered' when referring to memories that are still true now. Also use subject pronoun order 'my father and I'. Suggestion: Say 'I remember' for current recollection and 'my father and I' as the subject.
× My father told me stories during our walk and I was very pleased to listen.
✓ My father told me stories during our walks and I enjoyed listening.
Pluralize 'walk' to 'walks' to match 'used to go on long walks'. Replace 'was very pleased to listen' with 'enjoyed listening' for natural English and correct verb usage. Suggestion: Use 'enjoyed listening' to express past habit and 'walks' for repeated events.
× I remembered my father's stories until now.
✓ I remember my father's stories to this day.
Use present tense 'remember' for memory still applicable now. 'Until now' is better expressed as 'to this day' in this context. Suggestion: Use present simple: 'I remember my father's stories to this day.'
× the greenery and refreshing atmosphere from the parks make them very soothe, calm and motivated.
✓ the greenery and refreshing atmosphere in parks make people feel soothed, calm, and motivated.
'Soothe' is a verb; the correct adjective is 'soothed'. Also 'from the parks' is unnatural; use 'in parks'. Use 'people feel' to show the effect. Use commas in a list. Suggestion: Use adjectives 'soothed, calm, and motivated' and say 'make people feel...'.
× the refreshness of park takes the stress away and people just forget each and every day's task and stress.
✓ the refreshing qualities of the park take the stress away and people forget each day's tasks and worries.
Use 'refreshing' (adjective) rather than 'refreshness'. 'Park' should have article 'the park' and 'qualities' fits better. Match plural agreement: 'qualities ... take'. 'Each and every day's task and stress' is awkward; use 'each day's tasks and worries.' Suggestion: Use 'the refreshing qualities of the park' and plural nouns for repeated items.
× So people like to go on walks and have some chats with their friends also.
✓ So people like to go on walks and have chats with their friends as well.
'Also' at sentence end is acceptable but 'as well' is more natural here. 'Some chats' is unnecessary; 'have chats' or 'chat with' is better. Suggestion: Use 'chat with their friends as well' for natural phrasing.
× I would like to go to Paris if I would ever have a chance to walk there because I thought that Paris is so dreamy and so lovely place and I also thought that there is love everywhere in Paris, here.
✓ I would like to go to Paris if I ever had the chance to walk there because I think Paris is such a dreamy and lovely place and I feel there is love everywhere in Paris.
In the conditional, use 'if I ever had the chance' (second conditional) not 'if I would ever have'. Use present tense 'I think' for current opinion, not 'I thought'. Use 'such a' before 'dreamy and lovely place'. Remove unnecessary 'here'. Suggestion: Use correct conditional 'if I ever had the chance' and keep opinion in present: 'I think'.
× So yes, if I have had a chance then I would go to Paris.
✓ So yes, if I had the chance I would go to Paris.
Use second conditional 'if I had the chance I would' for unreal or hypothetical situations. 'If I have had a chance' is incorrect here. Suggestion: Use 'if I had the chance, I would go to Paris.'
× I go to my nearby park because I'm pregnant.
✓ I go to my nearby park because I'm pregnant.
No grammatical change needed; sentence is acceptable. However, for clarity, present continuous 'I'm going to my nearby park' could emphasize current routine. Because instruction 2 says only correct mistakes that meet list, we keep as is. Suggestion: Optionally use 'I go to the nearby park' or 'I go to my local park' for naturalness.
× Doctor advised me to do a walk for 30 or 40 minutes every day, so I do it in my park which is very refreshing, clean and full of chatting and friendships.
✓ The doctor advised me to take a walk for 30 or 40 minutes every day, so I do it in my park, which is very refreshing, clean, and full of people chatting and making friends.
Add definite article 'The doctor'. Use 'advised me to take a walk' not 'do a walk'. Add commas and pluralize gerund phrases properly: 'people chatting and making friends' is clearer than 'full of chatting and friendships.' Suggestion: Use 'The doctor advised me to take a walk' and describe the park with 'people chatting and making friends'.
