× Living in the northern part of my country which is India, there is not lakes and ponds available around this region so it is not practiced very regularly.
✓ Living in the northern part of my country which is India, there are no lakes and ponds available around this region so it is not practiced very regularly.
The phrase 'there is not lakes and ponds' is incorrect because 'lakes and ponds' is plural. The correct form is 'there are no lakes and ponds' to match the plural subject. Use 'there are' for plural nouns and 'no' instead of 'not' in this context.
× Sometimes when it there is too much rainy days, people go to fetch fish.
✓ Sometimes when there are too many rainy days, people go to fetch fish.
The phrase 'too much rainy days' is incorrect because 'days' is countable, so 'too many' should be used instead of 'too much'. Also, 'it there is' is incorrect; it should be 'there are' to agree with the plural noun 'days'.
× In my native country, most of the people here are vegetarians, me being one of them, so I don't prefer eating fish.
✓ In my native country, most of the people here are vegetarians, and I am one of them, so I don't prefer eating fish.
The phrase 'me being one of them' is incorrect as 'me' cannot be used as the subject. It should be 'I am one of them' to correctly function as the subject of the clause.
× Being an eggetarian, I have never been to a fish market except in my childhood when my grandmother used to take me to the fish market to buy her groceries.
✓ Being an eggetarian, I have never been to a fish market except during my childhood when my grandmother used to take me to the fish market to buy her groceries.
The preposition 'in' is not appropriate with 'childhood' here. The correct preposition is 'during' to indicate the time period when the action happened.
× Living in the northern part of my country which is India, there are not many lakes and ponds present so it is not practiced in the northern part.
✓ Living in the northern part of my country which is India, there are not many lakes and ponds present, so it is not practiced in the northern part.
This sentence is mostly correct but adding a comma before 'so' improves clarity. The phrase 'there are not many lakes and ponds' correctly uses 'there are' for plural nouns.
