× I usually eat snacks after going to Crump school because I get tired of studying at home school so by having snacks I can be relaxed and motivate me to study more.
✓ I usually eat snacks after going to Crump school because I get tired of studying at home, so by having snacks I can relax and motivate myself to study more.
The phrase 'can be relaxed' is incorrect because 'relaxed' is an adjective and 'can be' implies passive voice, which is not appropriate here. Instead, 'can relax' uses the verb correctly. Also, 'motivate me' should be 'motivate myself' to correctly use the reflexive pronoun when the subject and object are the same person.
× So the large amount of sugar do bad to our body so I guess it's so bad.
✓ So the large amount of sugar does bad to our body, so I guess it's so bad.
The subject 'amount' is singular, so the verb should be 'does' instead of 'do' to agree in number. This is a subject-verb agreement issue.
× I often got snack for a price.
✓ I often got snacks for a price.
The noun 'snack' should be plural 'snacks' because it refers to multiple instances of eating snacks, not just one.
× For example, when I finish doing school homework I could get snack from my mom.
✓ For example, when I finished doing school homework I could get snacks from my mom.
The verb tense should be past tense 'finished' to match the past context. Also, 'snack' should be plural 'snacks' because it refers to multiple items.
× For example, when I finish doing school homework I could get snack from my mom.
✓ For example, when I finished doing school homework I could get snacks from my mom.
The action happened in the past, so 'finish' should be in the past tense 'finished' to maintain tense consistency.
× So. Snack was like a praise for me in the past.
✓ So, snacks were like praise for me in the past.
'Snack' should be plural 'snacks' because it refers to multiple instances. Also, 'praise' is uncountable and does not need 'a'. The verb should be plural 'were' to agree with the plural subject.
× My favorite snack is Black Sander, which is a chocolate snack which is delicious and very cheap.
✓ My favourite snack is Black Thunder, which is a chocolate snack that is delicious and very cheap.
The product name is likely 'Black Thunder' not 'Black Sander'. Also, 'which' is better replaced by 'that' for defining clauses. 'Favourite' is the British English spelling.
× It costs ¥40 per package. It is very cheap and also it's so delicious, so I like it very much.
✓ It costs ¥40 per package. It is very cheap and also very delicious, so I like it very much.
The phrase 'it's so delicious' is informal; 'very delicious' is more appropriate in this context. Also, the sentence is fine but can be improved for clarity and formality.
