Ví dụ: Lately I have been walking in a small park near my apartment; I usually walk there for about 30 minutes while listening to music to lift my mood after a long day of work.
× Yes, I will quite often, especially after a long days of hard work because it helped me to lift my mood and recharged.
✓ Yes, I walk quite often, especially after long days of hard work because it helps me to lift my mood and recharge.
The sentence used 'will' incorrectly for habitual action; use simple present for habits (Modal verb usage). 'a long days' mixes singular article with plural noun and should be 'long days' (singular/plural issue). 'helped' and 'recharged' are past tense forms inconsistent with present habitual context; use present simple 'helps' and base verb 'recharge'. Suggestion: use consistent simple present for routines: 'I walk quite often... it helps me to lift my mood and recharge.'
× I will quite often, especially after a long days of hard work because it helped me to lift my mood and recharged.
✓ I walk quite often, especially after long days of hard work because it helps me to lift my mood and recharge.
The phrase 'a long days' mixes the singular article 'a' with plural 'days'. Remove the article or change to singular: 'a long day' or 'long days'. Also verbs must match tense (see other corrections). Suggestion: use 'after long days of hard work' for habitual context.
× because it helped me to lift my mood and recharged.
✓ because it helps me to lift my mood and recharge.
Using past tense 'helped' and past participle 'recharged' is incorrect when describing a habitual present effect. Use present simple 'helps' and base verb 'recharge' to describe general truth or routine. Suggestion: maintain present tense for habitual actions.
× Walking is like a light exercise that helped me to stay fit and manage my weight.
✓ Walking is a light exercise that helps me stay fit and manage my weight.
The clause uses past tense 'helped' but should use present simple 'helps' to describe an ongoing benefit. Also 'is like a light exercise' is better as 'is a light exercise' for clarity. Suggestion: 'Walking is a light exercise that helps me stay fit and manage my weight.'
× We usually strolled for like 30 minutes to enjoy the sunshine and get some fresh airs.
✓ We usually strolled for about 30 minutes to enjoy the sunshine and get some fresh air.
'Like' used colloquially should be 'about' in formal speech. 'Fresh airs' is incorrect plural; use uncountable 'fresh air'. 'Strolled' is past tense appropriate for 'when I was a child' so tense is fine. Suggestion: replace 'like' with 'about' and 'fresh airs' with 'fresh air'.
× People like park because they have a lot of open space so that people can walk or jog for a long distance without going in circles.
✓ People like parks because they have a lot of open space so that people can walk or jog long distances without going in circles.
'Park' needs plural 'parks' or 'the park' depending on meaning; here general statement uses plural. 'a long distance' is better as plural 'long distances' when speaking generally. Suggestion: use 'parks' for general preference and 'long distances' for non-specific extent.
× Furthermore, parks also have plants and greeneries so that people it is ideal place for breathing, freshers and relaxing.
✓ Furthermore, parks also have plants and greenery, so they are ideal places for breathing fresh air and relaxing.
'Greeneries' is incorrect; use uncountable 'greenery'. Sentence structure is faulty: 'people it is ideal place' is ungrammatical; fix subject and verb agreement. 'Freshers' is wrong word; use 'fresh air'. Also 'places' plural fits general statement. Suggestion: rephrase to clear subject-verb structure and correct nouns.
× If I had a chance, I will choose to walk on the National Park.
✓ If I had a chance, I would choose to walk in the national park.
This is a second conditional sentence expressing an unreal present/future; use 'would' not 'will' (future tense/modal usage). Also use 'in' not 'on' for parks and lowercase 'national park' unless it's a proper name. Suggestion: 'If I had the chance, I would choose to walk in the national park.'
× If I had a chance, I will choose to walk on the National Park.
✓ If I had a chance, I would choose to walk in the national park.
The phrase 'a chance' is acceptable but 'the chance' is often better; more importantly 'the National Park' capitalized implies a specific park—use proper name or lowercase/general term. Use correct article with proper nouns or common nouns. Suggestion: use 'the' for a specific opportunity and correct capitalization.
× It has a beautiful snow mountain sceneries which make the journey really interesting and relaxing.
✓ It has beautiful snowy mountain scenery, which makes the journey really interesting and relaxing.
'Snow mountain sceneries' is incorrect. Use adjective 'snowy' to modify 'mountain' and uncountable 'scenery' for vista. Subject-verb agreement: 'which makes' agrees with singular 'scenery'. Suggestion: 'beautiful snowy mountain scenery, which makes...'.
× Where did you go for a walk lately?
✓ Where have you gone for a walk lately?
When asking about recent experiences with 'lately', present perfect is more appropriate in English than simple past. Suggestion: use 'have you gone' to ask about recent activities.
× I usually walk in a small park near my apartment where I usually take 30 minutes for a daily walk and whereas listening to the music to adjust my mood and after long days of hard work.
✓ I usually walk in a small park near my apartment; I take a 30-minute daily walk while listening to music to lift my mood after long days of hard work.
Sentence has awkward tense/structure and redundant 'usually'. 'take 30 minutes for a daily walk' should be 'take a 30-minute daily walk'. 'Whereas listening' is incorrect conjunction use; use 'while' for simultaneous actions. 'to adjust my mood' is awkward; 'to lift my mood' is natural. Suggestion: streamline sentence, remove redundancy, use 'while' for concurrent actions and correct noun phrases.
