× I'm not really that a big fan of it.
✓ I'm not really that big a fan of it.
The phrase 'that a big fan' is incorrect because 'that' should directly modify 'big' without the article 'a' in between. The correct expression is 'that big a fan'. This is a common structure in English where 'that' is used with an adjective and a noun without an article separating them.
× I feel like it engages and charges my life.
✓ I feel like it energizes and charges my life.
The verb 'engages' is not typically used with 'life' in this context. 'Energizes' is a better choice to express the idea of giving energy or vitality. Also, 'charges' is acceptable but 'energizes' fits better with the intended meaning.
× Recently, because in my work I do have a lot of chances to eat chocolate, so it became more often,
✓ Recently, because at my work I have a lot of chances to eat chocolate, it has become more often,
The preposition 'in' is incorrect when referring to 'work' in this context; 'at' is the correct preposition. Also, 'became' should be 'has become' to match the present perfect tense indicating a recent change continuing to the present.
× those chocolates are pretty much luxuries, so I really enjoy to have it.
✓ those chocolates are pretty much luxuries, so I really enjoy having them.
The verb 'enjoy' should be followed by a gerund ('having') rather than an infinitive ('to have'). Also, 'it' should be 'them' to agree with the plural 'chocolates'.
× Very often it was merely rare because my parents didn't let me to have any of those treats quite often when I was kid.
✓ Very often it was merely rare because my parents didn't let me have any of those treats quite often when I was a kid.
The verb 'let' is followed directly by the base form of the verb without 'to', so 'let me to have' is incorrect; it should be 'let me have'. Also, 'when I was kid' is missing the article 'a' before 'kid'.
× There was like a stone type chocolate when I was little and it looked quite unique so I really enjoyed the moments.
✓ There was a stone-type chocolate when I was little and it looked quite unique, so I really enjoyed the moments.
The phrase 'like a stone type chocolate' is informal and awkward; 'a stone-type chocolate' with a hyphen is more appropriate. Also, a comma is needed before 'so' to separate the clauses.
× Because I guess people really want something sweet in their lives, which is soft and tender softs, and it's just better to have something you enjoy or be interested in.
✓ Because I guess people really want something sweet in their lives, which is soft and tender, and it's just better to have something you enjoy or are interested in.
The phrase 'tender softs' is incorrect; 'soft and tender' is the correct adjective pair. Also, 'be interested in' should be 'are interested in' to agree with the subject 'you'.
× The nut really kicks out from the chocolate and it gives so good tasty vibes and I'm just so into it.
✓ The nut really stands out in the chocolate and it gives such good tasty vibes, and I'm just so into it.
The phrase 'kicks out from' is incorrect; 'stands out in' is a better expression. Also, 'so good tasty vibes' should be 'such good tasty vibes' for correct quantifier usage.
× Definitely mostly if they don't have any other like allergies or if they dislike it, it would be a different problem.
✓ Definitely, mostly if they don't have any allergies or if they dislike it, it would be a different problem.
The phrase 'any other like allergies' is awkward and incorrect; 'any allergies' is sufficient. Also, a comma after 'Definitely' improves clarity.
× But mostly it would be great 'cause why won't people hate something sweet to in their lives that would be cheerful sometimes and also thoughtful for their lives?
✓ But mostly it would be great because why would people hate something sweet in their lives that would be cheerful sometimes and also thoughtful for them?
The contraction ''cause' should be 'because' in formal speech. 'Why won't people hate' is incorrect; 'why would people hate' is the correct form. 'Something sweet to in their lives' is incorrect; 'something sweet in their lives' is correct. Also, 'thoughtful for their lives' should be 'thoughtful for them' for natural expression.
