× I started using Internet when I was quite young, probably around 8:00 or nine years old.
✓ I started using the Internet when I was quite young, probably around eight or nine years old.
The word 'Internet' is a singular noun that requires the definite article 'the' before it. Also, '8:00' is a time, but the intended meaning is age, so it should be 'eight' spelled out and 'or nine years old' to indicate age range.
× I often go online when I am free, specially after finishing my studies.
✓ I often go online when I am free, especially after finishing my studies.
The word 'specially' is incorrect here; the correct adverb is 'especially' to indicate emphasis or particularity.
× However, my study schedule is quite subject and my parents always encourage me to focus more on my schoolwork rather than spending too much time on the Internet.
✓ However, my study schedule is quite strict and my parents always encourage me to focus more on my schoolwork rather than spending too much time on the Internet.
The word 'subject' is incorrectly used here; likely the intended word is 'strict' to describe the study schedule. This is a vocabulary error but relates to adjective use.
× For example, I usually use the Internet to research for my assignments or to relax by watching educational videos.
✓ For example, I usually use the Internet to research my assignments or to relax by watching educational videos.
The preposition 'for' after 'research' is unnecessary in this context; 'research my assignments' is correct.
× No, I can't recall any specific time when I was not allowed to use the Internet. I generally have unrestricted access to it, especially during my free time when I like to browse social media or watch videos. However, sometimes my parents ask me to take a break from the Internet so that I can concentrate better on my studies, which I understand is import.
✓ No, I can't recall any specific time when I was not allowed to use the Internet. I generally have unrestricted access to it, especially during my free time when I like to browse social media or watch videos. However, sometimes my parents ask me to take a break from the Internet so that I can concentrate better on my studies, which I understand is important.
The word 'import' is a typo and should be 'important' to correctly convey the meaning.
× No, I don't think I spent too much time online because as a student, my daily routine is well organized with specific time slots for studying their leisures.
✓ No, I don't think I spend too much time online because as a student, my daily routine is well organized with specific time slots for studying and leisure.
The verb tense 'spent' is past tense but the context requires present tense 'spend' to match the ongoing habit. Also, 'their leisures' is incorrect; it should be 'and leisure' to indicate free time activities.
× Moreover, my parents always encouraged me to stay focused on my study plan.
✓ Moreover, my parents always encourage me to stay focused on my study plan.
The word 'always' indicates a habitual action, so the present tense 'encourage' is appropriate instead of past tense 'encouraged'.
× Limit my use of mobile phones to avoid distraction.
✓ They limit my use of mobile phones to avoid distraction.
The original sentence lacks a subject, making it incomplete. Adding 'They' clarifies who limits the use.
× Therefore, I mainly use the Internet for educational purpose rather than entertainment.
✓ Therefore, I mainly use the Internet for educational purposes rather than entertainment.
The noun 'purpose' should be plural 'purposes' to correctly express the general idea.
× Without the Internet, I would prefer reading books because it helps me relax and gain knowledge at the same time.
✓ Without the Internet, I would prefer reading books because they help me relax and gain knowledge at the same time.
The pronoun 'it' incorrectly refers to 'books' which is plural; the correct pronoun is 'they'.
× Reading also improve my concentration and vocabulary, so I think it would be beneficial way to spend my time.
✓ Reading also improves my concentration and vocabulary, so I think it would be a beneficial way to spend my time.
The verb 'improve' should be 'improves' to agree with singular subject 'Reading'. Also, the article 'a' is needed before 'beneficial way'.
