× During busy days I can walk up to 15 to 20,000 steps, while on slow days estimated is 5000 steps.
✓ During busy days I can walk up to 15,000 to 20,000 steps, while on slow days the estimate is 5,000 steps.
Numbers were formatted incorrectly and the passive phrase 'estimated is 5000 steps' is ungrammatical. Use '15,000 to 20,000' or '15 to 20 thousand' and 'the estimate is 5,000 steps' to form a correct noun phrase. Also include the definite article 'the' before 'estimate'. Suggestion: write large numbers with commas and use 'the estimate is' for clarity.
× Yes, there was a park nearby our home.
✓ Yes, there was a park near our home.
Use 'near' instead of 'nearby' when followed by a noun phrase like 'our home'. 'Nearby' is an adverb or adjective used differently; 'near' is the correct preposition here. This fixes preposition usage and improves naturalness.
× Sometimes I go there with my friends to play and it was a very fun and memorable moment for me.
✓ Sometimes I went there with my friends to play, and it was a very fun and memorable time for me.
The sentence mixes present ('I go') and past ('it was') tenses. Because the context is childhood ('When I was a child'), use past tense consistently: 'I went'. Also 'moment' is awkward here; use 'time' for experiences. Add a comma before 'and' to join clauses.
× I think walking in general is the best exercise for people who don't want to engage in strength activities but wants to maintain an A fairly active lifestyle.
✓ I think walking in general is the best exercise for people who don't want to engage in strength activities but want to maintain a fairly active lifestyle.
Subject-verb agreement and pronoun reference: 'people' is plural, so the verb should be 'want' not 'wants'. Also 'an A fairly active lifestyle' contains an incorrect article and stray capital 'A'; remove the article and capital letter to read 'a fairly active lifestyle' or simply 'fairly active lifestyle'. Suggestion: ensure verbs agree with their subjects and keep articles/capitalization consistent.
× It is best done in parks because of the view and large space.
✓ It is best done in parks because of the views and the large open spaces.
'View' and 'large space' sound unnatural in singular; plural 'views' and 'spaces' fit general statements. Add 'the' before 'large open spaces' for naturalness and include 'open' to clarify meaning. This improves noun choice and article use.
× I haven't had the time to go for a walk lately, but when I do I usually go to this open space near our house.
✓ I haven't had time to go for a walk lately, but when I do I usually go to the open space near our house.
Use 'time' without 'the' in this common expression: 'haven't had time'. 'This open space' is acceptable but 'the open space' is more natural when referring to a known place near the house. Tense and meaning remain consistent.
× People usually go there to run and jog, but for me I go there to clear my mind of some things.
✓ People usually go there to run or jog, but I go there to clear my mind of some things.
Style improvements: use 'run or jog' rather than 'run and jog' because people typically do one or the other. Remove the redundant pronoun 'for me' before 'I' to avoid repetition. This makes the sentence more concise and natural.
