× I started using the Internet around 2017 when my grandfather bought me a new notebook from China.
✓ I started using the Internet around 2017 when my grandfather bought me a new notebook from China.
No correction needed; sentence correctly uses past simple to describe completed past actions.
× I used it every day for my school subjects or exams.
✓ I used it every day for my school subjects and exams.
Use 'and' instead of 'or' to link two things that both occurred regularly. 'Or' suggests a choice, while 'and' correctly indicates both activities.
× Playing notebook was part of my life at that time.
✓ Using the notebook was part of my life at that time.
The phrase 'playing notebook' is ungrammatical in English. Use 'using the notebook' or 'playing on the notebook' depending on meaning. Here 'using the notebook' fits general usage.
× I usually go online when I have work to do online, for example checking emails or doing research.
✓ I usually go online when I have work to do, for example to check emails or do research.
Avoid repeating 'online' unnecessarily. Use infinitive forms 'to check' and 'do' to parallel 'have work to do'. This improves grammar and clarity.
× Using Internet is fine in moderation, but using too much can be distracting.
✓ Using the Internet is fine in moderation, but using it too much can be distracting.
'Internet' normally takes the definite article 'the'. Also add 'it' after 'using' to clarify the object.
× That's why I try to use Internet in limit.
✓ That's why I try to use the Internet in moderation.
'In limit' is incorrect. Use the phrase 'in moderation' to express limited use. Also add 'the' before 'Internet'.
× Yes, actually I remember that it was two years ago when I played online games on Internet all night.
✓ Yes, actually I remember that it was two years ago when I played online games on the Internet all night.
Add 'the' before 'Internet'. The past tense 'played' and 'was' are correct for a past event.
× After that in the morning my dad took my phone and give it to my brother.
✓ After that, in the morning my dad took my phone and gave it to my brother.
Both verbs refer to past actions and must be in past tense. 'Give' should be 'gave' to match 'took'. Also add a comma for clarity.
× It was unhappy situation and I have realized it.
✓ It was an unhappy situation, and I realized it.
Add the article 'an' before 'unhappy situation'. Use simple past 'realized' to match the past event. Also include a comma before 'and' to join clauses.
× I never play it from online.
✓ I never played it online again.
Use past tense 'played' to refer to the past decision. 'From online' is incorrect; use 'online' or 'on the Internet'. Add 'again' to convey cessation after the event.
× To be honest, I try to spend time in moderation, but if I spend time too much on Internet it will be distracting for my ace and for my health.
✓ To be honest, I try to spend my time in moderation, but if I spend too much time on the Internet it will be distracting for my academic performance and for my health.
Use 'my time' and place 'too much' before 'time' for correct adverb placement. Add 'the' before 'Internet'. 'Ace' is incorrect—likely 'grades' or 'academic performance'; replaced with 'academic performance' for clarity.
× Without the Internet, I would focus more and more to read English books because I need to improve my English skills and fluency in speaking I.
✓ Without the Internet, I would focus more on reading English books because I need to improve my English skills and speaking fluency.
Use 'focus on reading' (verb + preposition + -ing). Move 'speaking' before 'fluency' for natural word order and remove the stray 'I' at the end.
× I will also spend more time engaging in community activities and meeting friends in person.
✓ I would also spend more time engaging in community activities and meeting friends in person.
The conditional 'would' matches the hypothetical 'Without the Internet' clause. Using 'will' is less consistent with the conditional context.
