Many grammar doubts (EX to have a walk around....)

Question

Hello! I have many doubts. Could you help me?? Thank you!!!

1) Someone wrote: Bring a camera to take picture because Argentina is so nice She wanted to say... because Argentina is very nice. Would it be the same??

2) "....because in Brazil we are in winter". Is it correct to say "we are in winter"??Or should he write: In Brazil it is winter?

3) "Instructions on how to get ready to the excursion". I would correct "for the excursion" or "to go to the excursion". Am I right? Thank you!

4) "to have a walk around the capital city" Is it correct to say "to have a walk around..."?

I heard "to walk around" (directy) or "to walk around" Not both combined. Could we combine them?

5) "Like we are in winter, you should bring...." I corrected "As we are in winter....." Am I right?

6)a) "Here it is winter". Is it right? I would have written "It is winter (in)here. Tell me your opinion!

b)"In Brazil it is winter" Is this correct? or better to place the place at the end?

c) "Here in Brazil it is too cold" Is this right?

7) Collocation: It is on/in Luke Street? What preposition suits better? Is it the same if I add a number??

8) "We will meet at my house." Is it fine, even if she does not say"home"?

Thank you for help me with all these doubts!!!!!!

Hello! I have many ~~doubts~~ questions. Could you help me?? Thank you!!!
1) Someone wrote: Bring a camera to take picture because Argentina is so nice She wanted to say... because Argentina is very nice. Would it be the same?? Not exactly, but almost the same. so implies comparison: so nice that you'll regret it if you don't have pictures of it.

2) "..because in Brazil we are in winter". Is it correct to say "we are in winter"??Or should he write: In Brazil it is winter? ... because it's winter in Brazil is the more usual phrase, but the others are certainly understandable.

3) "Instructions on how to get ready to the excursion". I would correct "for the excursion" or "to go to the excursion". Am I right? Yes. get ready for. Thank you!
4) "to have a walk around the capital city" Is it correct to say "to have a walk around..."?
I heard "to walk around" (directy) or "to walk around" Not both combined. Could we combine them? You can combine them. Yes. I prefer, however, just "walk around".

5) "Like we are in winter, you should bring.." I corrected "As we are in winter.." Am I right? Yes. as or since or because it's winter, but not like we are in winter.

6)a) "Here it is winter". Is it right? I would have written "It is winter (in)here. Tell me your opinion! It's (It is) winter here.

b)"In Brazil it is winter" Is this correct? or better to place the place at the end? It's winter in Brazil.

c) "Here in Brazil it is too cold" Is this right? Yes. OR, It's too cold here in Brazil.

7) Collocation: It is on/in Luke Street? What preposition suits better? American usage: on. British usage: in. Is it the same if I add a number?? No. (Surprisingly.) at 345 Luke Street.

8) "We will meet at my house." Is it fine, even if she does not say"home"? Yes. What she wrote is the best way to say it.

Thank you for help me with all these ~~doubts~~ questions!!

Note: We do not use "doubts" in English the same way that you use "dudas" in Spanish! In asking to clarify points that you are unsure of, translate "dudas" as "questions".

Note: In most casual conversation and writing, in order to speak and write authentic English, you need to use contractions. Learn to write and say "it's" instead of "it is"; "we'll" instead of "we will", and so on. The use of contractions makes you seem more like a real English speaker!

Thank you for your time, CF!!!!

I understood most of your comments/answers and notes, as well.

You helped me a lot!!!!

There is only one thing I still do not understand very well.

In one of the answers (number 6c) you told me that to say "Here is Brazil it is too cold" was right.

But then, I would like to know if (even that there is a better option to say it) the following are completely wrong (since they start with place too):

A) Here it´s winter.

B) In Brazil it is winter.

Once again: THANK YOU!!!
