Do you make a list when you shop?
Candidato
Yeah, I sometimes make a list. Not not all the time. Sometimes I just go in and use my memory to see if I can get everything I need. And then sometimes I look home and look in the cup and look in the fridge and actually make a a proper list. Normally they write it down on my phone or make a paper list.

Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
Candidato
Umm, on most days I do umm, not every day, because sometimes I'm just working on one thing so I don't really need to make a list. But umm, I would say most of the time I would make a list so, umm, I know where I'm going and what I need to do. Yeah, and it works. It does.

Why don't some people like making lists?
Candidato
I don't know. Why don't you ask them? I don't. I don't really know, to be honest. Some people like it, some people don't. Who cares?

Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
Candidato
Was like I normally make a list on paper, but I do occasionally use my phone to make a list. It just depends. Whatever's convenient for me at the time I'm at work. I tend to write it down on paper so I can log it and remember it for the next day. And if it's just typical day-to-day things I might make a list on my phone.

× Not not all the time.
✓ Not all the time.
The phrase 'Not not all the time' contains a repeated negation which is unnecessary and incorrect in this context. Removing the extra 'not' corrects the sentence structure and clarifies the meaning.
× Sometimes I just go in and use my memory to see if I can get everything I need.
✓ Sometimes I just go in and use my memory to check if I can get everything I need.
The verb 'see' is less appropriate here; 'check' better fits the context of verifying or confirming items. This improves clarity and correctness in prepositional usage.
× And then sometimes I look home and look in the cup and look in the fridge and actually make a a proper list.
✓ And then sometimes I look at home and look in the cupboard and look in the fridge and actually make a proper list.
The phrase 'look home' is incorrect; it should be 'look at home' to indicate searching within the home. Also, 'cup' is likely a mishearing or typo for 'cupboard', which is the correct noun for kitchen storage. Correct prepositions and nouns improve sentence accuracy.
× Normally they write it down on my phone or make a paper list.
✓ Normally I write it down on my phone or make a paper list.
The pronoun 'they' is incorrect here as the speaker refers to themselves. Changing 'they' to 'I' corrects the subject and ensures subject-verb agreement.
× Was like I normally make a list on paper, but I do occasionally use my phone to make a list.
✓ I normally make a list on paper, but I do occasionally use my phone to make a list.
The phrase 'Was like' is an incorrect use of pronouns and sentence structure. Removing it clarifies the sentence and corrects the pronoun usage.
