Did you like going to parks as a child?
Thí sinh
Yes, I have always liked going to parks. When I was a child and I lived in Via Blanca, my mother used to take me and my sister to go skate in the park and that was one of my favorite part of the weekends. So I'd probably say, uh, I still, I'm quite fond of going to the park.

Do you still like going to parks now?

Yes, of course. I like going to parks. I live in La Plata. That's a near, uh, city near from here and we, well, the city is designed with parks every five blocks. So I really enjoy staying there and having fresh air.

Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Thí sinh
Well, to be honest, I think there are already too many parks in my city, but it's always nice to keep them clean and accessible to families, so I think that the government should spend time on that.

Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Thí sinh
If I had to choose a part to revisit in the future, it would be El Retiro Park. It is located in Madrid and I went there two years ago. It has this really big pond and there are many construction, historical constructions, that and a museum. So I would really like to go there.

Ví dụ: I would like to revisit El Retiro Park in Madrid. I went there two years ago and enjoyed the large pond and the many historic monuments and museums, so I’d like to go back to spend more time exploring the art collections and relaxing by the water.
× my mother used to take me and my sister to go skate in the park and that was one of my favorite part of the weekends.
✓ my mother used to take my sister and me to go skating in the park, and that was one of my favorite parts of the weekend.
The verb 'skate' after 'go' should be in the -ing form (gerund) when using expressions like 'go skating'. 'Me and my sister' should be 'my sister and me' for natural word order, and 'one of my favorite part of the weekends' has plural/singular and article issues: 'parts' (plural) and 'weekend' (singular or remove 'the'). Use 'one of my favorite parts of the weekend' for a typical phrase.
× So I really enjoy staying there and having fresh air.
✓ So I really enjoy being there and getting fresh air.
'Staying there' is not incorrect but 'being there' is more natural when referring to parks; 'having fresh air' is awkward in English—use 'getting fresh air'. The issue falls under present tense/word choice for natural present-tense expression.
× That's a near, uh, city near from here and we, well, the city is designed with parks every five blocks.
✓ That's a nearby city and it's near here, and the city is designed with parks every five blocks.
'Near from here' is ungrammatical; use 'near here' or 'not far from here'. 'Nearby' is an adjective meaning 'close'. Also 'That's a near, uh, city' should be 'That's a nearby city.' This is a preposition and adjective usage issue.
× If I had to choose a part to revisit in the future, it would be El Retiro Park.
✓ If I had to choose a park to revisit in the future, it would be El Retiro Park.
The speaker likely meant 'park' not 'part'. 'Part' is incorrect here; this is a word choice causing a singular/plural confusion. Replace with 'park'.
× It has this really big pond and there are many construction, historical constructions, that and a museum.
✓ It has a really big pond, many historical buildings and a museum.
'Many construction' is incorrect; 'construction' as a noun is uncountable in this sense. Use 'many historical buildings' or 'many historical constructions'. Also the phrase was disfluent ('that and a museum'); combine elements clearly. This is an adjective/noun collocation problem and word order issue.
