Score: 58.0Suggestion: 回答は意味が伝わりますが、文法ミス、冗長表現、語順の不自然さが目立ちます。改善点は:1) 主語と動詞の一致("I like my belongings to be tidy"など)を使う。2) 不要な重複("living in alone by myself")は避ける。3) 文を2文程度に分けて、接続詞(therefore, so, because)を適切に使う。4) 語彙を少し自然な表現("keep things tidy"より"keep my place tidy")に替える。

× Yes, I like my belongings keep tidy because I'm living in alone by myself so no one can clean my home and keep things T tidy and one of my friends said I'm a minimalist.
✓ Yes, I like to keep my belongings tidy because I live alone, so no one else can clean my home or keep things tidy, and one of my friends said I'm a minimalist.
Pronoun errors and related issues: 'my belongings keep tidy' uses incorrect structure; use the infinitive 'to keep' for preferences. 'I'm living in alone by myself' incorrectly combines forms and pronouns; use 'I live alone'. 'so no one can clean my home and keep things T tidy' should be 'no one else can clean my home or keep things tidy' to clarify the subject and use appropriate conjunction. Suggestions: use 'like to + verb' for preferences, use 'live alone' for residence, use 'no one else' to exclude others, and keep conjunctions and parallel verbs consistent.
× Umm, not really, but my mom often make me to keep my room tidy when I was a child because my mom is also a minimalist.
✓ Umm, not really, but my mom often made me keep my room tidy when I was a child because she was also a minimalist.
Past tense and pronoun consistency: 'often make me' should be past tense 'made me' to match 'when I was a child'. 'make me to keep' incorrectly uses 'to' after 'make'; causative 'make' is followed by the bare infinitive ('make me keep'). Also pronoun repetition: replace second 'my mom' with 'she' for natural phrasing. Suggestions: match verb tense to the time frame, use causative 'make + person + bare infinitive', and use pronouns to avoid repetition.
× Yeah, but now I can understand what she mean.
✓ Yeah, but now I can understand what she means.
Present tense subject-verb agreement: 'she mean' is incorrect; third person singular requires 'means'. Suggestion: conjugate verbs for third person singular in the present tense by adding -s.
× I'm not really sure whether I can keep my study space tidy or not because I only have the one desk which I use for like eating meals and also studying but I trying to not to put all of the thing on the desk.
✓ I'm not really sure whether I can keep my study space tidy or not because I only have one desk which I use for eating meals and studying, but I'm trying not to put all of my things on the desk.
Verb forms and articles: 'the one desk' should be 'one desk'. 'use for like eating meals' remove 'like' and use 'for eating meals'. 'also studying' parallel with 'eating' should be 'and studying' or comma-separated. 'but I trying' missing auxiliary 'am' for present continuous: 'I'm trying'. 'not to put' should be 'not to put' -> better 'not to put' but with contraction 'not to' often becomes 'not to' acceptable; here 'trying not to put' is correct. 'all of the thing' should be 'all of my things'. Suggestions: ensure auxiliary verbs are present for continuous tenses, keep parallel structure, use correct articles, and pluralize countable nouns.
× Yes, I think so, especially for people who are living by themselves like me, because if they cannot keep their room tidy, their room will be very dirty and especially in summer there will be some insects.
✓ Yes, I think so, especially for people who live by themselves like me, because if they cannot keep their rooms tidy, the room will become very dirty and in summer there may be some insects.
Tense and agreement: use simple present 'people who live' rather than 'are living' for habitual/general situations. 'their room' should be 'their rooms' when referring to people in general. 'will be very dirty' can be 'will become very dirty' for clarity. 'especially in summer there will be some insects' is awkward; use 'in summer there may be some insects' to indicate possibility. Suggestions: use simple present for general truths, ensure plural agreement when referring to people in general, and choose modal 'may' for possibility.
