Điểm: 86.0Gợi ý: Your answer is natural, relevant and contains supporting details.

Add a linking phrase to connect the habit and its benefit. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Your answer answers the question and gives reasons, but contains grammatical errors and some unclear wording (e.g., "going to park", "spray spending").

× Looking back on my childhood, I loved going to parks because they helped me relax after long hours of studying.
✓ Looking back on my childhood, I loved going to parks because they helped me relax after long hours of studying.
No correction needed; sentence is grammatically correct. Present participle 'going' is used appropriately to describe the activity.
× I used to play on the swings and ride my bikes there, which was a great way to get fresh air and clear my mind.
✓ I used to play on the swings and ride my bike there, which was a great way to get fresh air and clear my mind.
The student mentioned a single subject 'I' so 'bike' (singular) is more natural unless they owned multiple bikes. Use 'bike' to match the singular subject; this is a plurality/word-choice issue. If multiple bikes were intended, keep 'bikes' but context suggests one.
× Yes, I still like going to park.
✓ Yes, I still like going to the park.
The noun 'park' here is a specific place (general habit of visiting parks or a particular nearby park), so the definite article 'the' is required. Without the article the noun is uncountable/incorrect in this context.
× Actually, my hometown park has lovely scenery and beautiful natural areas, so I enjoy spray spending time there, especially when I find some free time.
✓ Actually, my hometown park has lovely scenery and beautiful natural areas, so I enjoy spending time there, especially when I have free time.
The phrase 'spray spending' is incorrect; likely a typo. Remove 'spray' and use 'spending'. Replace 'when I find some free time' with the more natural 'when I have free time'. This fixes word choice and adverbial usage.
× To be honest, yes I would like to see more parks in my city because they give people a place to relax and escape the stressful daily life.
✓ To be honest, yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because they give people a place to relax and escape the stressful daily life.
Add a comma after 'yes' for clarity (punctuation). The phrase 'the stressful daily life' is awkward; better is 'stressful daily life' or 'the stresses of daily life'. This suggestion improves article and phrasing.
× Parks also encourage exercise and socializing so adding more green spaces would improve residents physical and mental well-being.
✓ Parks also encourage exercise and socializing, so adding more green spaces would improve residents' physical and mental well-being.
Missing comma before 'so' and missing possessive apostrophe in 'residents' to show their well-being. Add the comma and the apostrophe to indicate possession.
× Yeah, I don't have many specific perks in my mind, but the one really want to visit is Hazelnut River Park in New York because it has library, greenery and green.
✓ Yeah, I don't have many specific parks in mind, but the one I really want to visit is Hazelnut River Park in New York because it has a library, greenery, and green spaces.
'perks' is incorrect; should be 'parks'. Missing pronoun 'I' before 'really want'. Countable nouns need articles: 'a library'. 'Green' alone is vague; use 'green spaces' or 'greenery'. Fixed word choice, pronoun omission, and articles.
× Great working and cycling path.
✓ It has great walking and cycling paths.
Sentence fragment lacking subject and verb. 'Working' is likely a typo for 'walking'. Use 'It has' to connect to the previous sentence and pluralize 'paths' for generality. This fixes sentence structure and word choice.
× I think it would be a relaxing place to spend on weekend and enjoy the scenery.
✓ I think it would be a relaxing place to spend a weekend and enjoy the scenery.
Omit 'on' before 'weekend' and add the article 'a' to form 'a weekend'. The correct collocation is 'spend a weekend'. This corrects preposition and article usage.
