Ví dụ: Yes, I want to visit Lambatar Park. I heard the government is building a large park there with extensive green spaces and a lake, so it should be a peaceful place to walk and relax.
× Also, I play football with my friends at the park.
✓ Also, I used to play football with my friends at the park.
The context is past habitual activity (when the student was a child), so the verb should be in the past habitual form 'used to' rather than simple present 'play'. Use 'used to' to indicate actions regularly done in the past but not now.
× Lately I have not enjoyed going to parks because they are often crowded and noisy so I can relax.
✓ Lately I have not been enjoying going to parks because they are often crowded and noisy so I cannot relax.
The student is describing a recent ongoing situation, so present perfect progressive or present perfect passive sense 'have not been enjoying' fits better than simple present perfect 'have not enjoyed'. Also 'so I can relax' contradicts the negative meaning; it should be 'so I cannot relax' to express inability to relax.
× I also don't have friends who wants to go with me, which makes the visit less fun.
✓ I also don't have friends who want to go with me, which makes the visits less fun.
Relative clause subject 'friends' is plural, so the verb should be 'want' (not 'wants') — third person plural agreement. Additionally, 'visit' should be plural 'visits' to match general repeated occasions. This corrects subject-verb agreement and noun number.
× Yes, outside, yes so in our hometown we have one or two parks nearby and it is quite small and when I was there it is was too noisy because they.
✓ Yes, in our hometown we have one or two parks nearby; they are quite small, and when I visited they were too noisy.
Original sentence is fragmented and contains tense and number errors. 'It is quite small' should refer to 'parks' (plural) so use 'they are quite small'. 'When I was there it is was too noisy' mixes tenses and has an extra 'is'. Use simple past 'when I visited' and 'they were too noisy'. Removing 'outside, yes so' clarifies sentence flow. Also the trailing 'because they.' was incomplete and is removed.
× Yes, and you know Lambatar, uh, I heard that the government is building a new very big park and it has enough green spaces and you can enjoy the, uh, lake and.
✓ Yes, you know Lambatar; I heard that the government is building a very large new park with plenty of green space where you can enjoy the lake and other facilities.
The original is disfluent and repeats modifiers awkwardly ('new very big'). Reorder to 'very large new park' or better 'a very large new park'. 'Green spaces' is better as uncountable 'green space' or 'plenty of green space'. Finish the sentence by specifying 'other facilities' instead of trailing 'and'. This improves noun form and sentence completion.
