× If I finish the whole day heavy work and at night I may want to compensate myself.

✓ If I finish a whole day of heavy work, at night I may want to compensate myself.

The modal verb 'may' is used correctly here to express possibility. However, the sentence lacks proper articles and prepositions, which affects clarity. Adding 'a' before 'whole day' and 'of' before 'heavy work' improves grammatical correctness and readability.

× So I bought myself some snacks.

✓ So I buy myself some snacks.

The original sentence uses past tense 'bought' which does not fit the present habitual context implied by the question 'When do you usually eat snacks now?'. Changing to present tense 'buy' aligns with the habitual action. The plural 'snacks' is correct here.

× I think it's not healthy but I still want to do it because I eat snack as a compensation for myself having workload.

✓ I think it's not healthy but I still want to do it because I eat snacks as compensation for my workload.

The noun 'snack' should be plural 'snacks' because it refers to general eating of snacks. Also, 'as a compensation' should be 'as compensation' (uncountable noun). 'For myself having workload' is awkward; 'for my workload' is clearer and grammatically correct.

× To be honest, not often because I was.

✓ To be honest, not often because I wasn't.

The sentence is incomplete and lacks the verb to complete the thought. 'I was' is incorrect here; it should be 'I wasn't' to indicate the negative past action of eating snacks often.

× so I didn't have the opportunity to eat variety snacks here.

✓ so I didn't have the opportunity to eat a variety of snacks here.

'Variety' is a singular noun and should be preceded by 'a' and followed by 'of' when used to describe multiple items. 'Variety snacks' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'a variety of snacks'.

× I prefer spicy and salt snacks compared to sweet snacks.

✓ I prefer spicy and salty snacks compared to sweet snacks.

'Salt' is a noun; the adjective form 'salty' should be used to describe snacks. Therefore, 'salt snacks' should be corrected to 'salty snacks'.

× I like chips or some or some fast noodles, etcetera.

✓ I like chips or some fast noodles, etcetera.

The phrase 'or some or some' is repetitive and incorrect. Removing the duplicate 'or some' corrects the sentence. The plural 'noodles' is correct here.
