What's your earliest memory?

Although my parents brought me many places like zoo or skiing, I mostly don't remember of my childhood memories. I clearly remember the moment me left arm's bone was broken when I was in elementary school. Looking back now, I've had injuries a lot in my life.

What's your earliest memory?

Although my parents had brought me to many places like the zoo or mountains for skiing, I mostly don't remember most of my childhood memories.

Skiing is an activity, and since you are listing places, the place you went to ski should go in the sentence instead of the activity!

I clearly remember the moment mey left arm's bone was broken when I was in elementary school.

Looking back nowon my past, I've had many injuries a lot in my life.

"Looking" is in present continuous tense, so it basically tells us that it's happening now!

Thank you very much for your careful correction.
This time I made the sentence structure a little simpler.
It's difficult to know when it's best to add "the".

Brought is understood but taken is more correct.

Taken me to the zoon.
Taken me to go skiing

Although my parents brought me many places like the zoo or on skiing trips, I mostly don't remember of my childhood memories.

I edited this to "on skiing trips" because "skiing" is not a place, but an activity. "Memories" is not needed here because you already used "remember" in the sentence. You could also say, "I don't have many memories of my childhood."

I thought it would be monotonous if the subject of the sentence was always "I", so I thought it would be better to use the passive voice, but is "I" easier to read?

Good question! Passive voice emphasizes the object of the sentence instead of the subject. Sometimes passive voice can be confusing for readers who might ask "by whom?" For instance, in a sentence like "The ball was kicked," it's not clear who kicked the ball. Also, it's just more common in English to say "I broke my arm," than "my arm was broken."

Although my parents brought me many places like the zoo or skiingthe ski resort, I mostly don't remember of my childhood memories.

We say "the zoo", not just "zoo". "Skiing" is not a place that you can be brought to, it's an activity. So I changed it to "the ski resort", which better represents the place you were brought to.

However, I clearly remember the moment me left arm's bone was broken when I wasI broke my left arm in elementary school.

Because this sentence contradicts what you said in your previous sentence (that you don't remember many childhood memories), it would be good to start it with "However". You would also say "I broke my left arm" instead of the more passive "my left arm's bone was broken".

Good job! Just a few minor errors.

I don't think it would be monotonous! Many stories that are told in the first-person will have a lot of sentences that start with "I" since that's the perspective of the narrator.

Although my parents brought mehave taken me to many places like the zoo or skiingthe ski slopes, I mostly don't remember of my childhood memories.

1. "zoo" is a place noun, so for the sake of parallelism, the other thing should be a place noun, too.

2. If the place where you went skiing is solely dedicated to skiing, "ski resort" is the appropriate place. I used "ski slopes" in case it was only one of many facilities.

I clearly remember the moment mey left arm's bone was broken when I was in elementary school.

Looking back now, I've had a lot of injuries a lot in my life.

"a lot" is supposed to be modifying "injuries", so it goes first, and is then connected with "of".
