× Nowadays, since I have I have a lot on my plate and I have a tight schedule, I don't have much time to work.
✓ Nowadays, since I have a lot on my plate and a tight schedule, I don't have much time to walk.
The sentence has repetition ('I have I have') and uses 'work' which conflicts with the question about walking. Fixing maintains present tense and corrects redundancy and word choice. Suggestion: remove duplicate words and use the verb that matches the context ('walk').
× But walking is my cup of tea because it recharges my batteries like an excerpt exercise and to keep fit I need to walk and also I need to have a healthy lifestyle so I decided to do it.
✓ But walking is my cup of tea because it recharges my batteries like an exercise, and to keep fit I need to walk and maintain a healthy lifestyle, so I decided to do it.
Incorrect phrase 'excerpt exercise' should be 'exercise'; comma splice and awkward infinitive use. Use parallel structures ('walk and maintain') and add commas for clarity. Keep present simple for habits and past simple 'decided' for the decision.
× Yes, I remember that when I was a child and my mother and I hang out with each other and go walking and ours my siblings accompanied us.
✓ Yes, I remember that when I was a child my mother and I used to hang out together and go walking, and my siblings often accompanied us.
Mixes present tense with past context. Use past habitual form 'used to' or past simple for past events. Fix word order and remove 'ours'. Use 'often' for frequency.
× We could enjoy each other's company.
✓ We could enjoy each other's company.
Sentence is grammatically correct. It matches past habitual context, so no change needed.
× It could produce a joyful atmosphere because we could work with each other and had a chit chat with our siblings and sometimes hang out with our friends.
✓ It created a joyful atmosphere because we spent time together, chatted with our siblings, and sometimes hung out with friends.
Use past tense consistently for past events ('created', 'spent', 'chatted', 'hung out'). 'Work with each other' is inappropriate; replace with 'spent time together'. 'Chit chat' should be 'chatted' for grammatical correctness.
× Actually, I believe that walking is like an exercise uh, so it helps people to stay physical fit.
✓ Actually, I believe that walking is a form of exercise, so it helps people stay physically fit.
'Like an exercise' is awkward; use 'a form of exercise'. 'Stay physical fit' misorders and uses adjective instead of adverb; use 'stay physically fit'. Remove filler words.
× The other thing that I like to mention is improves our mood and recharges our batteries.
✓ Another thing I would like to mention is that it improves our mood and recharges our batteries.
Missing 'that' and subject for the verb 'improves'. Introduce a clause 'that it improves' to be grammatical.
× When people feel down, they go walking.
✓ When people feel down, they go for a walk.
Both forms can be acceptable; 'go for a walk' is more natural idiomatic phrasing. Change for clarity and naturalness.
× It's a umm, uh, release dopamine and epinephrine so uh, they.
✓ It releases dopamine and epinephrine, which improves mood.
Original has filler sounds and incomplete clause. Use correct verb form 'releases' and complete the sentence with a clear result. Maintain present tense general statement.
× Nowadays I immigrated to London is the best place for me because it's really comfortable and convenient for me to go walking.
✓ Now that I have immigrated to London, it is the best place for me because it's really comfortable and convenient for walking.
Tense mismatch: 'Nowadays I immigrated' mixes present adverb with past simple. Use present perfect 'have immigrated' and rephrase for clarity. Keep general present tense for current situation.
× There are lots of parks so I if I had the chance I would go walking with my husband.
✓ There are lots of parks, so if I had the chance I would go for a walk with my husband.
Remove extra 'I' and use conditional structure correctly. 'Go for a walk' is more natural. Comma needed before 'so' clause.
× There is a beautiful park is located near.
✓ There is a beautiful park located nearby.
Redundant 'is' and incorrect word order. Use 'located nearby' or 'nearby' to indicate proximity.
× If I'm not mistaken, it was that 2 days ago, my husband and I hung out with each other and go to a park.
✓ If I'm not mistaken, it was two days ago that my husband and I hung out and went to a park.
Mixes past and present ('go to a park'). Use past tense 'went' and correct word order 'two days ago that'. Spell out numbers or use digits consistently.
× It was located within a walking distance of our house.
✓ It was located within walking distance of our house.
Do not use the indefinite article 'a' with 'walking distance' when preceded by 'within'. Use the fixed expression 'within walking distance'.
× Most people, uh, went there and uh, they, uh, went walking.
✓ Most people went there and walked.
Remove fillers and redundant phrasing. Use simple past 'walked' instead of 'went walking' for conciseness.
× They carried their children and also their pets, uh, with them.
✓ They carried their children and also brought their pets with them.
'Carried their pets' is unlikely; use 'brought their pets'. Keep past tense 'brought' and remove fillers.
× Uh, when we, uh, were walking, we could listen to the.
✓ When we were walking, we could listen to the birds/the music (depending on meaning).
Original sentence is incomplete. Complete the object of 'listen to' with a noun. Remove fillers and keep past continuous for simultaneous actions.
