× Yeah, I like to be.
✓ Yeah, I liked going to parks.
The student used 'I like to be', which is unnatural and doesn't match the past context of 'as a child'. The examiner asked about past preference, so the past tense 'liked' is appropriate. Also, use the gerund 'going to parks' to match the verb 'like' when referring to activities. Suggestion: use 'I liked going to parks' or 'I used to like going to parks.'
× No, nowadays I only sleep in the bed.
✓ No, nowadays I only sleep in bed.
The phrase 'in the bed' is grammatically possible but unnatural; English commonly uses 'in bed' without the definite article when speaking about the general state of being in bed. Also, the present tense 'sleep' is correct for a habitual action, so keep present tense. Suggestion: say 'I only sleep in bed' or 'I usually just sleep in bed nowadays.'
× No, no, in our city there is no park.
✓ No, no, there are no parks in our city.
The original sentence uses singular 'park' with 'there is' which can be acceptable if referring to a single park, but the student likely means none exist, so plural 'parks' with 'there are' is more natural. This fixes subject-verb agreement with the existential 'there be' construction. Suggestion: use 'there are no parks in our city.'
× Yeah, yeah. In future I want to go MMM situation National Park.
✓ Yeah. In the future I want to go to MMM Situation National Park.
The student omitted the preposition 'to' after 'go' and the article/word ordering around 'in future' is nonstandard; 'in the future' is the natural phrase. Also proper nouns like 'MMM Situation National Park' should have correct capitalization and likely require no article. Suggestion: say 'In the future I want to go to MMM Situation National Park.'
