× Yes, I like to go to parks with my mom because I liked doing outdoor sports with my mom.
✓ Yes, I liked going to parks with my mom because I enjoyed doing outdoor sports with her.
The student mixes present 'like' with past activities; context asks about childhood so past tense should be used consistently. Also avoid repeating 'with my mom' twice and use 'her' for conciseness. Suggestion: keep past tense for childhood memories and use pronouns to avoid repetition.
× For example, I enjoyed playing soccer with my mom or did hide and seek with.
✓ For example, I enjoyed playing soccer with my mom or playing hide and seek with her.
After 'enjoyed' use the -ing form (gerund). The original mixes 'enjoyed' + base verb 'did', which is incorrect. Also include the object 'her' to complete the sentence.
× No really, I don't like going parks right now because I prefer playing video games at home or studying.
✓ No, not really. I don't like going to parks right now because I prefer playing video games at home or studying.
Missing 'to' in the phrase 'going to parks' is a prepositional error related to verb use; also 'No really' is unnatural—'No, not really' fits conversational response. Maintain present tense for current preference.
× I usually use most time for studying and sleeping so I don't prefer to go parks right now.
✓ I usually spend most of my time studying and sleeping, so I don't prefer to go to parks right now.
Use 'spend time' not 'use time', and include 'most of my' before 'time'. Also 'go to parks' requires the preposition 'to'. These corrections fix collocation and preposition errors.
× Yes, I like it's better to have more parks in my city because these days we have a lot of buildings, so I feel it's stressful surrounded by high buildings, so it's better to have greens.
✓ Yes, I think it's better to have more parks in my city because we have many buildings these days, and being surrounded by tall buildings feels stressful, so having green spaces would be better.
Multiple issues: 'I like it's better' is incorrect; use 'I think' or 'I like' separately. 'A lot of buildings' is acceptable but 'many' is more natural before plural noun. 'Stressful surrounded by high buildings' needs passive/gerund structure: 'being surrounded by tall buildings feels stressful'. Avoid repeating 'so' and use 'and' to connect ideas. Use 'green spaces' instead of 'greens.'
× Yes, we have. I, yes I have.
✓ Yes, we do. Yes, I have.
Answers are disfluent and ungrammatical. For the question 'Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?' a simple affirmative is 'Yes, we do' (if referring to parks in the city) or 'Yes, I have' for personal plans. Clean, concise responses are preferred.
× I really want to go to Sydney Park in Sydney because I've heard it's a special park.
✓ I really want to go to Sydney Park because I've heard it's a special place.
'Sydney Park in Sydney' is repetitive; 'Sydney Park' implies location. 'It's a special park' is acceptable, but 'special place' sounds more natural. The present perfect 'I've heard' is correctly used to express information received before now.
× They have green spaces and I can feel more relaxed when I visit here, that's why.
✓ It has green spaces, and I feel more relaxed when I visit, which is why I want to go.
Use singular 'it' for 'Sydney Park' not 'they'. 'Visit here' is awkward; use 'visit' or 'visit there'. 'That's why' should be integrated into sentence: 'which is why I want to go.' Avoid mixing tenses; simple present 'I feel' fits general truth about the park.
