How important is interest in study?
수험생
I think that having interest in the subject that you study is very important because when you study something that you really like and you really have a passion about it, you study really hard. You study while you're being happy and productive and your mental health is very good. But when you study in a thing that you don't like, you will not gonna have the passion, you're gonna not understand.

× Uh, so my school is actually here in Cairo as at the capital of Egypt.
✓ Uh, so my school is actually here in Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
The phrase 'as at the capital of Egypt' misuses prepositions and conjunctions. Use a noun phrase 'the capital of Egypt' after a comma to appositively describe Cairo. This corrects preposition misuse and improves fluency.
× It's specially, uh, placed in, uh, Sheraton, uh, or Heliopolis.
✓ It's specially located in Sheraton, Heliopolis.
'Placed in' is awkward here and 'specially' is the wrong adverb (meant 'especially' or unnecessary). Use 'located in' to describe location and 'Sheraton, Heliopolis' without extra fillers. Use 'especially' only if emphasizing; otherwise omit.
× Uh, my school actually have a very special place since there is a lot of activ activities that can be, uh, done next to it.
✓ Uh, my school actually has a very special location since there are a lot of activities that can be done near it.
Subject 'my school' is singular, so use 'has' not 'have'. Also 'there is a lot of activities' should be 'there are a lot of activities' (plural agreement). 'Next to it' is acceptable but 'near it' is more natural.
× And it has restaurants, cafes next to it.
✓ And it has restaurants and cafes nearby.
Using 'next to it' is not wrong but 'nearby' or 'near it' is more natural. Also add 'and' between 'restaurants' and 'cafes' to connect nouns correctly.
× So it's so fun having.
✓ So it's so much fun to be there.
The original lacks a clear object and uses an incorrect gerund structure. 'Fun to be there' expresses the intended meaning of enjoying that location.
× Actually. It's not my first school.
✓ Actually, it's not my first school.
A period incorrectly splits a sentence. Combine with a comma to form a single coherent sentence.
× I've moved schools two years ago and it's very good choice.
✓ I moved schools two years ago and it was a very good choice.
Use simple past 'moved' with a specific time expression 'two years ago'. Present perfect 'I've moved' is incompatible with a definite past time. Also match tense in the second clause: 'it was a very good choice.'
× And I really, really think that I did a great job choosing these schools because I really like the teachers.
✓ And I really, really think that I did a great job choosing this school because I really like the teachers.
The student refers to one school earlier, so use singular 'this school' instead of plural 'these schools'. Ensure pronoun/noun consistency.
× They are very friendly and I'm very, I'm really grateful for having my friends and really the school helps me a lot with my studies.
✓ They are very friendly, and I'm really grateful for my friends; the school also helps me a lot with my studies.
Sentence run-on and awkward phrasing. 'Grateful for having my friends' is unnatural—use 'grateful for my friends'. Use punctuation to separate ideas and improve clarity.
× I think my school is a really good place to study because it's quiet, it's clean, it has the perfect teachers who are really friendly and they are very helpful.
✓ I think my school is a really good place to study because it's quiet, it's clean, and it has excellent teachers who are friendly and helpful.
'Perfect teachers' is exaggerated/unidiomatic; 'excellent teachers' is more natural. Remove repetition ('really' and 'very') and use parallel structure with commas and 'and'.
× They understand children and care about their mental health.
✓ They understand students and care about their mental health.
Within a school context, 'students' fits better than 'children' (may include older students). Maintain consistent referent 'their' for 'students'.
× So yeah, it's very perfect for people to study and for young students to be comfortable and safe being in that place.
✓ So yeah, it's ideal for studying and allows young students to feel comfortable and safe in that environment.
'Very perfect' is redundant; 'ideal' is concise. Rephrase for natural English: 'for people to study' -> 'for studying'; 'being in that place' -> 'in that environment'.
× I'm very grateful for choosing my school.
✓ I'm very grateful for choosing my school. -> I'm very grateful that I chose my school.
The original 'grateful for choosing my school' is awkward. Use 'grateful that I chose my school' or 'grateful to have chosen my school' to express gratitude about a past decision.
× The environment is very good. It's clean, it's perfect.
✓ The environment is very good: it's clean and well-maintained.
'Perfect' is hyperbolic; 'well-maintained' is clearer. Combine sentences for fluency.
× Uh, every single one that works in my school keeps the school so safe, so secured and so clean, so it doesn't have any viruses.
✓ Everyone who works at my school keeps it safe, secure, and clean, so there are fewer health risks.
'Every single one that works in my school' is wordy; use 'Everyone who works at my school'. 'So secured' is incorrect adjective form—use 'secure'. 'It doesn't have any viruses' is unnatural; better to say 'fewer health risks'.
× They really like to make sure that the students are safe, are happy and included and understanding everything that they study.
✓ They really try to ensure that the students are safe, happy, included, and understand everything they study.
Use 'try to ensure' instead of 'like to make sure'. Keep parallel verb forms: 'are safe, happy, included' then 'and understand' (present simple) to match subject 'students'.
× How important is interest in study?
✓ How important is interest in studying?
Use the gerund 'studying' after 'interest in' to form a natural noun phrase. Alternatively, 'interest in the subject' could be used with an article.
× I think that having interest in the subject that you study is very important because when you study something that you really like and you really have a passion about it, you study really hard.
✓ I think that having interest in the subject you study is very important because when you study something you really like and have a passion for, you study very hard.
Drop 'the' before 'subject' is optional; improve phrasing: 'have a passion for' instead of 'have a passion about it'. Replace 'really hard' with 'very hard' for formality and remove redundant 'really's.
× You study while you're being happy and productive and your mental health is very good.
✓ You study while feeling happy and productive, and your mental health is better.
'You're being happy' is unnatural; use 'feeling happy'. 'Is very good' is vague—'better' or 'improves' is clearer. Maintain parallelism and concision.
× But when you study in a thing that you don't like, you will not gonna have the passion, you're gonna not understand.
✓ But when you study something you don't like, you won't have passion and you won't understand it.
Mixing 'will' and 'gonna' is informal and ungrammatical. Use 'won't' for future negative. 'Study in a thing' is incorrect; say 'study something'. Place 'not' correctly before the auxiliary and object 'it' at the end.
