× Yes, I try to walk a lot every day. Uh, although I think that walking is, uh, best way to burn calories in, it's the safest way to, uh, do some activity because things like running can, uh, harm your health.
✓ Yes, I try to walk a lot every day. Although I think that walking is the best way to burn calories, it's also the safest way to do some physical activity because things like running can harm your health.
The sentence had missing articles ('the best way') and awkward phrasing ('in, it's the safest way to, uh, do some activity'). Also 'do some activity' is unidiomatic; use 'do some physical activity' or 'engage in physical activity'. Suggest using concise, fluent present tense and including the definite article before 'best way'.
× Yes, I went a lot outside when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I went outside a lot when I was a child.
Word order is incorrect: frequency expressions like 'a lot' usually follow the verb or object. Keep past tense 'went' but place 'a lot' after 'outside' or after the verb to sound natural.
× It was, uh, if it's, uh, be can't be usually went with my parents to the park and walk there a lot.
✓ Often I used to go to the park with my parents and walk there a lot.
Original sentence mixes tenses and has ungrammatical fragments ('if it's, be can't be usually went'). Use the past habitual structure 'used to' or 'often' plus base verb for clear meaning: 'I used to go' or 'I often went'.
× And if it was, uh, work, working day, I was in kindergarten and we played there outside also very much.
✓ If it was a working day, I was at kindergarten and we played outside a lot.
Incorrect collocation 'work, working day' should be 'working day'. Preposition for institutions is 'at kindergarten'. 'Also very much' is awkward; use 'a lot' instead. Keep past tense consistent.
× I think people like to walk in parks because it has its calm and quiet atmosphere and you can just roam there a lot of time and parks are usually occupies a large territory so you can bulk a lot.
✓ I think people like to walk in parks because they have a calm and quiet atmosphere, and you can just roam there for a long time. Parks usually occupy a large area, so you can walk a lot.
Pronoun 'it' incorrectly refers to plural 'parks'—use 'they'. 'Has its calm' is awkward; use 'have a calm and quiet atmosphere'. 'Roam there a lot of time' should be 'roam there for a long time'. 'Occupies' should agree with plural subject 'parks'—use 'occupy'. 'Bulk a lot' is incorrect word choice; use 'walk a lot'.
× Well, if I had a chance I would like to go to some new city or town and roam there for hours looking for some interesting places and sightings and I because I like exploring something new.
✓ Well, if I had the chance, I would like to go to a new city or town and wander there for hours looking for interesting places and sights because I like exploring new things.
Use 'the chance' or 'a chance' consistently; 'sightings' is incorrect here—use 'sights'. Remove extra 'and I' and reorder for clarity. 'Roam' is acceptable but 'wander' is more natural. Keep the conditional structure 'if I had... I would...'. Note: grammar problem type mapped to general conditional/past-future usage; treated as sentence structure/tense combination.
× Well, lately I've been in a gachina.
✓ Well, lately I've been in Gatchina.
Place name capitalization and spelling: 'Gachina' should be 'Gatchina'. Also 'been in' is acceptable, but ensure proper noun capitalization.
× It's a small town near the Saint Petersburg and I walked there and discovered new places like parks and palaces.
✓ It's a small town near Saint Petersburg, and I walked around and discovered new places like parks and palaces.
Do not use the definite article 'the' before most city names like 'Saint Petersburg'. Use 'walked around' rather than 'walked there' for natural English. Keep past tense 'walked' and 'discovered' consistent.
× Also we went to roller skating.
✓ Also we went roller skating.
After 'went' use the -ing form of a verb to express an activity: 'went roller skating' is correct. 'Went to roller skating' is ungrammatical; 'went to skate' would be an alternative but less natural.
