× Not much, I couldn't get a chance a day for walking, but I always prefer, uh, walking.
✓ Not much, I don't get a chance to walk every day, but I always prefer walking.
The student used 'couldn't' which implies past ability; context asks about present habit. This is a present tense reference, so use present simple 'don't get' and correct the phrase 'get a chance a day for walking' to natural English 'get a chance to walk every day'. Suggestion: use present simple for habits (I don't get, I prefer).
× Whenever I get a chance or whenever I have to move from one building to another or have to submit a report, I prefer walking.
✓ Whenever I get a chance, or when I have to move from one building to another or to submit a report, I prefer walking.
Use consistent present-tense connectors and parallel structure. Replace 'whenever' repetition with simpler 'or when' and make verb forms parallel ('to move', 'to submit'). Suggestion: keep similar verb forms after 'to' for clarity.
× Yes, I used to walk daily and whenever I was coming back from school or heading to tuition, I am my brother used to walk over there and we also play in parks, cricket and running here and there.
✓ Yes, I used to walk daily, and whenever I was coming back from school or heading to tuition, my brother and I used to walk there. We also used to play in parks, playing cricket and running around.
The student mixed tenses and word order. 'I am my brother used to' is incorrect; correct order is 'my brother and I used to'. Use 'used to' consistently for past habitual actions. Also 'play in parks, cricket and running here and there' is reorganized to 'play in parks, playing cricket and running around' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: keep subject order 'X and I' and repeat 'used to' for past habits.
× So it's a.
✓ So it was fun.
The fragment 'So it's a.' is incomplete and unclear. The context is past memories, so use past tense 'it was fun' to complete the idea. Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments; ensure subject and predicate form a complete thought.
× I believe it's a peaceful activity.
✓ I believe it's a peaceful activity.
This sentence is grammatically correct and matches the question's present-tense general statement. No correction needed.
× It kind of give you the meditation and all the plantation greenery just or artistic and peaceful for the mind.
✓ It kind of gives you a sense of calm and the greenery feels soothing and peaceful for the mind.
Subject-verb agreement: 'It kind of give' should be 'gives'. 'Meditation' is misused; 'a sense of calm' or 'meditative feeling' is more natural. 'Plantation greenery just or artistic' is unclear; rephrase to 'the greenery feels soothing'. Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with subject and choose appropriate nouns for intended meaning.
× It also gives you a very leisure time to spend and it's a fun activity.
✓ It also gives you leisure time to relax, and it's a fun activity.
'A very leisure time' is ungrammatical; 'leisure time' is uncountable, so do not use 'a'. Use infinitive 'to relax' for purpose. Suggestion: use uncountable nouns without 'a' and combine clauses clearly.
× For me it can be a very random walk.
✓ For me, it can be a very random walk.
Sentence is correct; only punctuation added. No grammar change needed other than comma after introductory phrase. Suggestion: include comma after introductory clause.
× For example if I coming from office and going to home I would prefer a random long walk.
✓ For example, if I am coming from the office and going home, I would prefer a random long walk.
Missing auxiliary 'am' for present continuous: use 'if I am coming'. Use articles: 'the office' and no 'to' before 'home'. Suggestion: include auxiliary verbs in continuous tenses and use correct articles.
× Or if I'm going out to buy something grocery from the market and it's UH.
✓ Or if I'm going out to buy groceries from the market, I might take a walk.
'Buy something grocery' is incorrect; use 'buy groceries' or 'buy something from the grocery store'. The trailing 'and it's UH' is incomplete; provide a complete thought such as 'I might take a walk'. Suggestion: use correct noun forms ('groceries') and complete the sentence.
× Lately my work has been very spontaneous and unplanned, like going on the street for example.
✓ Lately my work has been very spontaneous and unplanned, so I have been going out into the street for example.
Original is close but 'like going on the street' is awkward. Use present perfect progressive 'have been going out' to match 'lately'. 'Into the street' or 'out into the street' is more natural. Suggestion: match time expressions like 'lately' with present perfect constructions and use natural prepositions.
× Last night I want to purchase something from the grocery, so I decided to go on a walk.
✓ Last night I wanted to purchase something from the grocery, so I decided to go for a walk.
Mixed tenses: 'Last night' requires past tense 'wanted' not present 'want'. Also idiomatic phrase is 'go for a walk' rather than 'go on a walk'. Suggestion: keep past-tense consistency for past time references and use idiomatic expressions.
