× I think it's because park have fresh air and greenery so people can go for a stroll, get some light exercise and clear them out without worrying about traffic or noise.
✓ I think it's because parks have fresh air and greenery, so people can go for a stroll, get some light exercise and clear their minds without worrying about traffic or noise.
'Park' should be plural 'parks' to talk generally about parks (singular/plural agreement). 'Clear them out' is incorrect pronoun use; 'clear their minds' correctly expresses clearing one's thoughts. Also added a comma for readability. Suggestion: Use plural when speaking about things in general (parks), and match pronouns to the intended noun (their minds).
× When I was a kid I used to take an evening work with my friends around my neighborhood.
✓ When I was a kid I used to take an evening walk with my friends around my neighborhood.
The noun 'walk' was mistyped as 'work'. 'Take a walk' is the correct collocation. Suggestion: Learn common verb-noun collocations (take a walk, have a snack).
× We would walk along Small St. uh, stop for snack and then head home before it got late.
✓ We would walk along Small St., stop for a snack and then head home before it got late.
Missing article 'a' before 'snack' and punctuation. 'Stop for a snack' is the correct phrase. Suggestion: Use articles with singular countable nouns.
× I think it's because park have fresh air and greenery so people can go for a stroll, get some light exercise and clear them out without worrying about traffic or noise.
✓ I think it's because parks have fresh air and greenery, so people can go for a stroll, get some light exercise and clear their minds without worrying about traffic or noise.
With plural subject 'parks', the verb should be 'have' which is correct; originally sentence showed mismatch due to 'park have' where singular 'park' requires 'has'. Suggestion: Ensure subject and verb agree in number.
× Not really in Hanoi I usually commute by motorbike or bus so on weekdays I mostly just work from the parking area to class or walk to nearby shop if I need something.
✓ Not really. In Hanoi I usually commute by motorbike or bus, so on weekdays I mostly just walk from the parking area to class or to a nearby shop if I need something.
Several issues: 'work' used instead of 'walk' (word choice), missing articles 'a' before 'nearby shop', and run-on sentence. Present participle error flagged because 'work' was incorrect form/context. Suggestion: Use correct verb 'walk' and include articles for countable nouns; split into sentences for clarity.
× I'd love to take a long walk around Westlake, especially in the late afternoon. A good work along the lakeside water, sunset, maybe grab a coffee and just enjoy the calm atmosphere.
✓ I'd love to take a long walk around Westlake, especially in the late afternoon. A good walk along the lakeside to see the sunset, maybe grab a coffee and just enjoy the calm atmosphere.
'Work' is a typo for 'walk'. Also 'lakeside water' is awkward; 'along the lakeside to see the sunset' is clearer. Suggestion: Check for accidental typos and use natural prepositional phrases like 'along the lakeside'.
× Recently I took a short work near my house after dinner. I usually put my phone away, work at steady pace and think through what I need to do tomorrow. So it's already helped me and went after studying.
✓ Recently I took a short walk near my house after dinner. I usually put my phone away, walk at a steady pace and think through what I need to do tomorrow. It has already helped me and I usually go after studying.
Several tense and word errors: 'work' should be 'walk'. Present habitual actions require 'walk' not 'work'. 'So it's already helped me and went after studying' mixes tenses and incorrect verbs; corrected to present perfect 'has already helped me' and present habitual 'I usually go after studying'. Suggestion: Keep consistent tense: use present perfect for recent effects and simple present for habits.
× When I was a kid I used to take an evening walk with my friends around my neighborhood.
✓ When I was a kid I used to take an evening walk with my friends around my neighborhood.
This sentence is acceptable; no preposition error. Suggestion: None.
