× I always ask my mom to, uh, go to the park.
✓ I always asked my mom to go to the park.
The question refers to childhood (past time), so the verb should be in the past tense. 'Ask' is present; change to 'asked' to match 'when I was a child.' Suggestion: use past tense consistently when describing past routines.
× But unfortunately the park is 2 hours for my city, so I need, uh, it takes time.
✓ But unfortunately the park is two hours from my city, so it takes time to get there.
The original mixes phrases and uses incorrect preposition 'for' and awkward structure 'I need, it takes time.' Use 'from' to indicate distance and a clear clause 'it takes time to get there.' Spell out numbers in formal speech if possible.
× There aren't any park in my city so I missed going to the park when I was in Yogyakarta.
✓ There aren't any parks in my city, so I miss going to the park when I was in Yogyakarta.
Two issues: 'park' should be plural 'parks' after 'any.' The clause 'I missed going to the park when I was in Yogyakarta' mixes past and present feelings; if current feeling, use 'I miss.' If referring to past, keep 'missed' and clarify timeframe. Here likely present missing, so use 'miss.' Also add comma before coordinating conjunction 'so.'
× I feel fresh and relaxed when time going I I go to the park.
✓ I feel fresh and relaxed when I go to the park.
The original contains extra words 'time going' and duplicated 'I.' Simplify to correct present simple conditional: 'when I go.' Use present tense to describe habitual feeling.
× Yes, I would if there are any parks in my city, but unfortunately there aren't any park in my city.
✓ Yes, I would if there were any parks in my city, but unfortunately there aren't any parks in my city.
Use plural 'parks' after 'any.' Additionally, the hypothetical clause after 'I would' should use subjunctive/past form 'were' for hypothetical present situations: 'if there were any parks.' Keep 'there aren't any parks' to state current reality.
× So yeah, I sometimes go to the Tung, go to Tungalong to see the park and lying down, uh, beside the river and enjoying the air.
✓ So yeah, I sometimes go to Tung or Tungalong to see the park, lie down beside the river, and enjoy the air.
Parallel verb forms are required: use base verbs 'lie down' and 'enjoy' to match 'go.' 'Lying down' and 'enjoying' create a nonparallel structure. Also clarify place names and join with 'or' if alternatives. Remove filler words.
× I really, really want to go to Doha because I think in Doha there, uh, there is a big city and futuristic and the government built a park with a technology.
✓ I really want to go to Doha because I think Doha is a big, futuristic city and the government has built a park with advanced technology.
The original is redundant and has awkward phrasing. Use 'Doha is a big, futuristic city' (adjective order: size then adjective) and present perfect 'has built' to indicate a recent or existing action. 'With a technology' is incorrect; use 'with advanced technology.' Remove duplicate 'there.'
× So I really want to go there because, yeah, it's, uh, sounds sophisticated.
✓ So I really want to go there because it sounds sophisticated.
Do not combine 'it's' and 'sounds' together; choose one structure. 'It sounds' is present simple and correct to describe the impression. Remove fillers and contractions for clarity.
