× Yes, I like going parks a lot because it reminds me of my childhood and I always like to be part of it.
✓ Yes, I liked going to parks a lot because they reminded me of my childhood and I always liked being part of them.
Tense and number: The question asks about childhood (past), so use past tense 'liked' and 'reminded'. Also 'going parks' needs preposition 'to' and plural agreement: 'parks' -> 'to parks'. 'Be part of it' is awkward for parks (plural); use 'being part of them'. Use gerund 'being' after 'liked'. Suggestions: use past tense consistently, include 'to' after 'going', match singular/plural references.
× And I love attractions.
✓ And I loved the attractions.
Tense: Because speaker refers to childhood, use past tense 'loved'. Also add definite article 'the' to refer to specific attractions in parks. Suggestion: match tense to time period and include article when referring to known items.
× I love playing football with children.
✓ I loved playing football with other children.
Tense and clarity: Use past tense 'loved' for childhood. 'Children' is vague; 'other children' clarifies peers. Suggestion: choose past tense and add 'other' if meaning peers.
× I like playing volleyball and parks are the place that I can do.
✓ I liked playing volleyball, and parks were the places where I could do that.
Tense and structure: Use past tense 'liked' and 'were' for childhood. 'Parks are the place that I can do' is ungrammatical; use 'parks were the places where I could do that' or 'where I could play.' Use 'that' -> 'where' for locations and add pronoun 'that/this' or 'that activity'. Suggestions: match tense, use 'places' plural, and use 'where' for location clauses.
× Yes, I like going to, uh, to go parks now.
✓ Yes, I like going to parks now.
Redundancy and preposition: Remove redundant 'to go' and include preposition 'to' before 'parks': 'going to parks'. Tense is present and correct. Suggestion: avoid repeating infinitive and filler words.
× I, uh, go to park every week with my, uh, cousin's daughter.
✓ I go to the park every week with my cousin's daughter.
Article and preposition: Use definite article 'the' with 'park' when referring to a specific, habitual place: 'go to the park'. Also remove unnecessary possessive punctuation spacing. Suggestion: use 'the park' for habitual visits and omit fillers.
× Uh, she likes playing uh, with me there and I'm fond of going to there with her.
✓ She likes playing with me there, and I'm fond of going there with her.
Preposition placement: 'going to there' is incorrect; use 'going there'. Also remove unnecessary comma and filler words. Suggestion: place 'there' directly after verb for location and keep 'playing with me' intact.
× Yes of course because I live in Boca and there is a few places to go as a park because because the small city I know about they can build more parks.
✓ Yes, of course. I live in Boca and there are few places to go as parks because it is a small city; I think they can build more parks.
There be and article/quantifier errors: 'there is a few places' should be 'there are few places' (plural agreement and 'are' with plural). 'as a park' is odd; use 'as parks'. Repetition 'because because' removed. Clarify subject and verb: 'it is a small city' and use 'I think they can build more parks' for suggestion. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement with 'there are' for plural nouns and restructure sentence into clear clauses.
× Yes, I would like to go to Hyde Park because when I started to learn English I read an article about Hyde Park and it was very interesting me to go there and I would like to go there in next year maybe.
✓ Yes, I would like to go to Hyde Park because when I started learning English I read an article about Hyde Park that made me very interested in going there, and I would like to go there next year, maybe.
Gerund and verb forms: Use 'started learning' (not 'started to learn' though both can work; 'started learning' is natural). 'It was very interesting me to go there' is ungrammatical; use 'that made me very interested in going there'. Time expression: 'in next year' should be 'next year'. Modal/time phrasing: keep 'would like' for future desire. Suggestions: use 'interested in' + gerund, correct time expressions, and avoid awkward passive constructions.
