× I did not very well in geography when I was in middle school and high school.
✓ I did not do very well in geography when I was in middle school and high school.
The original sentence is missing the verb 'do' after 'did not' to form the negative past tense correctly. In English, 'did not' must be followed by the base form of the verb, so 'did not do' is correct here.
× I do have interest on different countries and cities.
✓ I do have interest in different countries and cities.
The correct preposition to use with 'interest' is 'in', not 'on'. So, 'interest in' is the proper phrase to express having interest about something.
× I'd like to explore different cultures.
✓ I'd like to explore different cultures.
This sentence is correct and does not contain any grammar mistakes related to the provided problem types.
× when you go to somewhere completely different from your home
✓ when you go somewhere completely different from your home
The word 'somewhere' already implies a place, so the preposition 'to' is unnecessary and incorrect here. The correct phrase is 'go somewhere'.
× I've learned geography from middle school.
✓ I've learned geography since middle school.
The preposition 'from' is incorrect here when indicating the starting point of a period continuing to the present. 'Since' is the correct preposition to use with the present perfect tense to indicate the starting time.
× I've grown the curiosity of the global world and different countries.
✓ I've grown curious about the global world and different countries.
The phrase 'grown the curiosity of' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'grown curious about' to indicate developing interest or curiosity towards something.
× I like to explore a different career of myself.
✓ I like to explore a different career for myself.
The preposition 'of' is incorrect here; 'for myself' is the correct phrase to indicate something intended or suitable for oneself.
× I definitely would like to learn more knowledge and cultures about different countries.
✓ I definitely would like to learn more about the knowledge and cultures of different countries.
The phrase 'learn more knowledge' is incorrect because 'knowledge' is uncountable and should be preceded by 'about'. Also, 'cultures about' should be 'cultures of' to correctly express belonging.
× my bucket list got a lot of countries that I never been to.
✓ my bucket list has a lot of countries that I have never been to.
The verb 'got' is informal and incorrect here; 'has' is the correct present tense verb for possession. Also, 'never been to' requires the present perfect tense 'have never been to'.
× I wish to pay a visit someday in the future.
✓ I wish to pay a visit someday in the future.
This sentence is correct and does not contain any grammar mistakes related to the provided problem types.
