1, You have a runny nose. I'll wipe your runny nose. I'll wipe it for you.

2, Do you want to get on the push chair?

3, My mom would tell me when people want to marry someone, people who have a good personality as for their partner are more important than people who have a good lookings. I don't know if "for" is the correct word. Using "for" means that the personalities of the two people are compatible. If the meaning should be that the personalities are similar, then the phrase should be "who have a similar personality as their partner."

4, I travel, walk, hike, go to to eat for delicious food, or read a book when I have a free time.
Recently I've bought an ebook reader called a kKindle, which can let me read books without carrying a lot of books in my bag. A better phrase is "so I can read books."
I'm not used to reading e-books for the first time yet. I think I'll get used to it.

5, Is that area close from here and safe?

6, It takes about 15 minutes walking distance from here.

It's about 15 minutes' walking distance from here.

It takes about 15 minutes by foot from here.

It takes about a 15-minute walk from here.

7, I'm on my way and just got on the bus. I'm going to be a little bit late.

8, If you want me to wash the dishes, please tell me. I don't mind washing the dishes.

9, If I go out somewhere, can I bring the pushchair?

10, If possible, I want to work in Africa to help children and people who need someone's help.

11, I thought you're going to somewhere. I just misheard.

12, Do you want me to read a book?

13, I think he has been brought up well at home.

14, After giving birth to a baby, Do does your country offer maternity leave?
Do they pay on maternity leave?

15, She's on maternity leave.

16, Please have a seat here while you wait.

17, Here comes the bus. / The bus is coming.
Are these sentences same meaning? Almost. If I say, "Here comes the bus," then I can see the bus. The bus is slowing down and it's almost stopped. There is not much time left to wait for the bus If I say, "The bus is coming," it can mean the same as "Here comes the bus," or it can mean that the bus is coming, but maybe I can't see it yet. I might have to wait 5 or 10 or 30 minutes for the bus. It is coming (it is not staying in one place), but I might have to wait for the bus to arrive. So if you can see the bus arriving, you can say, "Here comes the bus," but if you can't, it's better to say, "The bus is coming." But you can say, "The bus is coming," in both situations.

18, Some people would ask me whether my area is safe.

19, Do people in your country people drink beer a lot?

20, Korea is a capitalistic country.

21, Did you enjoy dinner?

22, Is that area safe to live in?

23, It looks like most buildings in this area is are low.

24, It looks like the moon is in front of me.

25, Korean people drink a lot, especially after finishing work on Friday.

26, Some Indian restaurant I know is a little cheaper than it is in other areas.

By "Some Indian restaurant," do you mean only one restaurant, or more than one restaurant? You can say it like this if there is only one, but I think it means more than one. If it is only one, it is better to say, "An Indian restaurant."

If there are many restaurants that are cheaper, you should say, "Some Indian restaurants I know are a little cheaper than they are in other areas."

A lot of these sentences were really good already. Great job!
