× Yes, of course I work every day since I dormitory maybe have 1 kilometer distance from the library, so I work about 30 minutes per day.
✓ Yes, of course I walk every day because my dormitory is about 1 kilometer from the library, so I walk about 30 minutes per day.
The student used 'work' instead of 'walk' and mixed tenses with 'since'. Use simple present 'walk' for habitual action. 'Since' is for time from a point; 'because' explains reason. Also correct subject-verb and word order: 'my dormitory is about 1 kilometer from the library'. Suggested improvement: Use simple present for regular routines and use 'because' to give reasons.
× When I was a kid, I often hang out in the nearby park to observe and capture the these small animals such as birds, frogs or fishes, which made me really really relaxed.
✓ When I was a kid, I often hung out in the nearby park to observe and capture these small animals, such as birds, frogs, or fish, which made me feel really relaxed.
The sentence describes past habitual actions so use past tense 'hung' not 'hang'. 'Capture' as past context can remain infinitive after 'to' but 'to observe and capture' is acceptable; keep parallel. 'the these' is redundant — use 'these'. 'Fishes' is usually 'fish' when referring to species collectively. 'Made me really really relaxed' is awkward; use 'made me feel really relaxed'. Suggested improvement: Use past tense for childhood habits and check article/pronoun redundancy and noun number.
× There are two reasons of this question I think. Firstly, people going to work outside to build up their fitness as a exercising event.
✓ I think there are two reasons for this. Firstly, people go outside to walk to build up their fitness as an exercise.
Use 'reasons for this' not 'reasons of this question'. 'People going to work outside' is ungrammatical; use 'people go outside to walk'. 'As a exercising event' is incorrect: use 'as an exercise' (article and adjective form). Also change 'build up their fitness' is fine. Suggested improvement: Use correct prepositions ('for this'), correct verb forms and choose 'exercise' (noun) not 'exercising' here.
× Additionally, people go walk the park to take the beautiful photos of the nature scenery and take some incredible pictures.
✓ Additionally, people walk in the park to take beautiful photos of the natural scenery and capture some incredible images.
Use 'walk in the park' or 'go for a walk in the park' not 'go walk the park'. 'Photos of the nature scenery' should be 'photos of the natural scenery'. Repetition 'take ... and take' replaced with varied verbs 'take' and 'capture'. Suggested improvement: Use correct prepositions ('in the park') and adjective forms ('natural scenery'), avoid repetitive verbs.
× I would like to walk through the grassland on Mongolia Desert because grassland is very very beautiful and suitable for take photos When watching the grassland spread to the horizon boundary, it is really incredible.
✓ I would like to walk through the grasslands of the Mongolian steppe because the grasslands are very beautiful and suitable for taking photos. When I see the grassland spreading to the horizon, it is truly incredible.
Use correct place name and noun forms: 'Mongolia Desert' is better as 'Mongolian steppe' or 'Mongolian grasslands'; use plural 'grasslands' and 'of the'. 'Suitable for take photos' should be 'suitable for taking photos' (gerund after 'for'). 'When watching...' needs subject 'When I see' and present participle 'spreading' to describe the view. 'Horizon boundary' is redundant; use 'horizon'. Suggested improvement: Use correct noun forms, gerunds after prepositions, and include subjects for participial clauses.
× On their last winter vacation I came home in Hubei, Wuhan and I take a walk across the mid East lake.
✓ On my last winter vacation I went home to Hubei, Wuhan, and I took a walk around the East Lake.
Use 'my' not 'their'. Past event requires past tense 'went' and 'took' rather than 'came'/'take'. 'Came home in Hubei, Wuhan' should be 'went home to Hubei, Wuhan' or 'came home to Hubei, Wuhan' depending on speaker location; 'went' is safer. 'mid East lake' is incorrect name and formatting; the famous lake is 'East Lake' and use 'around' rather than 'across' for walking around it. Suggested improvement: Use correct possessive pronoun, past tense for past events, and correct place names.
× It was the second largest lake in urban area so it took me 30 minutes to walk around it and I have done beautiful scenery and take from beautiful photos.
✓ It is the second largest lake in an urban area, so it took me 30 minutes to walk around it, and I saw beautiful scenery and took some lovely photos.
Mixes tenses: when describing a past visit, use past tense consistently: 'it was' or 'it is' — use 'it is the second largest lake in an urban area' as a general fact but then 'so it took me' is past. Better: 'It is the second largest lake in an urban area, so it took me 30 minutes to walk around it, and I saw beautiful scenery and took some lovely photos.' Also 'have done beautiful scenery' is ungrammatical; use 'saw beautiful scenery'. 'Take from beautiful photos' should be 'took some beautiful photos'. Suggested improvement: Keep tense consistent, use correct verbs for perception ('saw') and past action ('took photos').
