× I went to a shopping mall yesterday.
✓ I went to a shopping mall yesterday.
The sentence is correct in past tense and needs no change. Keep past simple for completed actions at a specific time (yesterday).
× I watched a movie and this is my favorite way to take a break after hard study because I study several days.
✓ I watched a movie, and this is my favorite way to take a break after intense studying because I study for several days in a row.
Original sentence has awkward structure and incorrect noun/verb forms. Use the gerund 'studying' after 'intense' and add 'for' to indicate duration. 'Several days' needs clarification so 'in a row' makes the meaning clear.
× I need to relax my brain.
✓ I need to relax my mind.
The phrase 'relax my brain' is unnatural in English; 'relax my mind' is the correct collocation. This is a vocabulary/collocation issue related to verb-object usage rather than tense.
× Who do you usually relax with?
✓ Who do you usually relax with?
This question is grammatically correct. 'Do you usually relax' appropriately uses the simple present for habitual actions.
× I usually have fun with my close friends.
✓ I usually have fun with my close friends.
Sentence is correct; 'close friends' and 'usually' are used appropriately for habitual action.
× For example, last weekend we went to a river.
✓ For example, last weekend we went to a river.
Sentence correctly uses past simple for a specific past event; no change needed.
× When uh go fishing, when Fi went fishing that that thing make us very happy.
✓ When we went fishing, that made us very happy.
The original has missing subject and tense inconsistencies and repeated words. Use 'we went' to match past tense and 'made' as past tense of 'make'. Remove filler sounds like 'uh' and repetition.
× We spend a very happy time.
✓ We had a very happy time.
The event is in the past (last weekend), so use past simple 'had' rather than present 'spend'. 'Had a very happy time' is the natural phrasing.
× Do you think listening to music is relaxing?
✓ Do you think listening to music is relaxing?
This question is correct: present simple 'do you think' is appropriate for asking opinions, and 'is relaxing' correctly describes the general quality.
× I like to do my chore while listening to music.
✓ I like to do my chores while listening to music.
Use plural 'chores' for routine tasks. The structure 'like to do ... while listening' is acceptable; ensure number agreement between 'my' and 'chores'.
× I think this physical active at the music can let me feel chill.
✓ I think being physically active while listening to music can help me relax.
Original sentence mixes forms and uses incorrect collocations. Use the gerund phrase 'being physically active' and the prepositional phrase 'while listening to music'. Replace informal 'feel chill' with 'help me relax' for clarity.
× I also like to go to the pub, listen live music.
✓ I also like to go to the pub to listen to live music.
Parallelism and infinitive form needed: 'to go to the pub to listen to live music'. Add 'to' before 'listen' and include 'to' after 'listen' for the correct verb pattern.
× It's very uh, comfortable.
✓ It's very comfortable.
Remove filler 'uh'. The sentence is otherwise correct: use contraction 'It's' and adjective 'comfortable' to describe a general feeling.
× For me, there are many ways to relax.
✓ For me, there are many ways to relax.
This sentence is correct and appropriately uses 'there are' to state general existence of ways to relax.
× One is take a shower, uh, Second, I like to do some physical activity like uh umm, clean the house.
✓ One is taking a shower. Second, I like to do some physical activities, such as cleaning the house.
Maintain parallel gerund forms: 'One is taking' and 'doing activities such as cleaning'. Remove fillers and ensure parallel structure. Use plural 'activities' if giving examples.
× Uh uh, cooking can make me feel relaxed.
✓ Cooking can make me feel relaxed.
Remove filler sounds. 'Cooking can make me feel relaxed' is correct; 'cooking' as gerund acts as subject of the sentence.
× I also like to listen music.
✓ I also like to listen to music.
The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by an object. Add 'to' to form the correct collocation 'listen to music'.
