Score: 63.0Suggestion: 回答は質問に合っており内容も分かるが、文法や語彙の選択に誤りがあり、表現がやや不自然です。具体的には固有名詞(Yomiuri Symbol→Yomiuri Shimbun)や不可算名詞の扱い(many information→a lot of information / much information)、語順(by visiting→when I visit)の改善が必要です。短く簡潔にしつつ接続語で情報をつなげ、具体例を一つ加えると良いでしょう。

× I often visit the news websites such as Nikkei and Yomiuri Symbol. I find many information about politics and business and markets by visiting.
✓ I often visit news websites such as Nikkei and Yomiuri Shimbun. I find a lot of information about politics, business, and the markets by visiting them.
'Many' is used with countable nouns; 'information' is uncountable so use 'a lot of' or 'much'. 'The markets' is more natural with 'markets' in this context. Also add 'them' to refer back to the websites and correct the proper name to 'Yomiuri Shimbun'.
× My favorite website is Nikkei, the news media about Japanese business and policy. I always visit this website when I commute to my workplace.
✓ My favourite website is Nikkei, the news media about Japanese business and policy. I always visit this website when I commute to work.
'Commute to work' is the natural collocation; 'commute to my workplace' is grammatically possible but wordy. Also note British spelling 'favourite' versus 'favorite' — either is acceptable depending on variety.
× Sometimes the websites change the user interface to develop the experience of customers. For example, the layout of news has been changed every day.
✓ Sometimes websites change their user interface to improve the customer experience. For example, the layout of the news changes frequently.
'Develop the experience of customers' is unnatural; use 'improve the customer experience'. Use 'websites' without 'the' and 'their' for possession. 'Has been changed every day' mixes present perfect passive with 'every day'; use simple present 'changes frequently' for habitual action.
× In Japan, the Yahoo News is popular websites. Almost everyone have visited this site and many people find information about.
✓ In Japan, Yahoo News is a popular website. Almost everyone has visited this site and many people use it to find information.
Do not use 'the' before brand name here. 'Yahoo News' is singular so 'is a popular website'. Subject-verb agreement: 'everyone has' not 'have'. 'Find information about' is incomplete; specify 'use it to find information' or 'find information on it'.
× I prefer getting information from websites because I can find many information quickly. On the other hand, when when I focus on the. Accuracy of.
✓ I prefer getting information from websites because I can find a lot of information quickly. On the other hand, when I focus on accuracy, I prefer books.
Again, 'information' is uncountable so use 'a lot of' not 'many'. Remove duplicate 'when'. 'When I focus on the accuracy of.' is a sentence fragment; complete it with the object or contrast clause (e.g. 'I prefer books').
× No, I don't want to have my own website because I don't want to provide my information for other people.
✓ No, I don't want to have my own website because I don't want to provide my personal information to other people.
Use 'personal information' for clarity. Preposition: use 'provide X to someone' or 'provide someone with X', not 'provide X for'.
