× Is mostly my friends because when I moved to Ho Chi Minh City, umm, I was far away from my mother, my family, so that I also have my friends to relax.
✓ It's mostly my friends because when I moved to Ho Chi Minh City I was far away from my mother and my family, so I also have my friends to relax with.
Incorrect subject pronoun and sentence structure: 'Is mostly my friends' lacks a subject and should be 'It's mostly my friends' or 'It is mostly my friends'. Also 'so that I also have my friends to relax' is awkward and missing the preposition 'with'. Suggestion: use 'It's mostly my friends' and place 'with' after 'relax' for grammatical correctness and natural phrasing.
× There are a lot of places that I go to relax after a hectic day.
✓ There are a lot of places where I go to relax after a hectic day.
The relative clause 'that I go to relax' is understandable but slightly awkward; using 'where' is more natural when referring to places. Suggestion: replace 'that I go to relax' with 'where I go to relax'.
× I always hang out with my friends at a coffee shop.
✓ I always hang out with my friends at a coffee shop.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable. No change needed. Note: 'a coffee shop' is fine when referring to a type or one typical place; keep as is.
× Yes, as I do, listening to music is the best way to, umm, release the dress and recharge your batteries.
✓ Yes, I do. Listening to music is the best way to release stress and recharge my batteries.
Errors: 'as I do' is unnatural here; use 'I do' or 'Yes, I do.' 'Release the dress' is a misspelling and wrong word; should be 'release stress'. Also 'recharge your batteries' shifts person; match speaker with 'my batteries'. Suggestion: use 'Yes, I do.' and correct vocabulary and pronoun consistency.
× Especially when you.
✓ Especially when I'm stressed.
This fragment 'Especially when you.' is incomplete and unclear. It needs a subject and verb to complete the thought. Suggestion: finish the idea with 'Especially when I'm stressed' or 'Especially when I feel stressed' to convey why music helps.
× There are a lot of ways that I find it to relax after hectic day.
✓ There are a lot of ways I use to relax after a hectic day.
Problems: unnecessary 'that' and 'it' make the clause awkward; 'after hectic day' is missing the indefinite article 'a'. Suggestion: remove 'that' and 'it' and add 'a' before 'hectic day'.
× Firstly, I hang out with my friend at a coffee shop.
✓ Firstly, I hang out with my friends at a coffee shop.
If the speaker previously mentioned hanging out with multiple friends, use plural 'friends' for consistency. If referring to one friend, keep 'friend' and change context. Suggestion: use 'friends' to match earlier statements.
× The relaxing atmosphere the coffee will find is very good for UMM.
✓ The relaxing atmosphere in the coffee shop is very good for me.
This sentence has multiple issues: word order is incorrect ('the coffee will find' is ungrammatical), and 'UMM' appears as filler or typo. Use 'in the coffee shop' and 'for me'. Suggestion: restructure to 'The relaxing atmosphere in the coffee shop is very good for me.'
