× Generally I love eating chocolates but I do avoid it because it's very sugary and it is not good for health.
✓ Generally I love eating chocolates but I do avoid them because they're very sugary and not good for health.
The pronoun 'it' is incorrectly used to refer to 'chocolates', which is plural. The correct pronoun should be 'them' to match the plural noun 'chocolates'. Also, 'it's' should be 'they're' to agree with the plural subject.
× So I uh, keep chocolate away from me and just avoid it in terms of health.
✓ So I uh, keep chocolate away from myself and just avoid it for health reasons.
The reflexive pronoun 'myself' is appropriate here instead of 'me' because the subject and object refer to the same person. Also, 'in terms of health' is better expressed as 'for health reasons' for clarity.
× And. Are there biological need?
✓ And is there a biological need?
The sentence is incomplete and incorrectly structured. It should be a question with correct subject-verb agreement and article usage: 'Is there a biological need?'
× Generally when someone gave me on my birthday or my father brought for me, I eat chocolate once in a week.
✓ Generally, when someone gives me chocolate on my birthday or my father brings it for me, I eat chocolate once a week.
The sentence mixes past and present tense incorrectly. Since the question is about frequency, present tense 'gives' and 'brings' is appropriate. Also, 'once in a week' should be 'once a week'.
× Otherwise I completely avoided.
✓ Otherwise, I completely avoid it.
The sentence incorrectly uses past tense 'avoided' when present tense 'avoid' fits better to express habitual action.
× Because it's not that good for health.
✓ Because it's not that good for health.
No correction needed here; sentence is grammatically correct.
× Yes, indeed. When I was a kid, I was like so much fond of chocolates, different kinds of chocolates.
✓ Yes, indeed. When I was a kid, I was very fond of chocolates, different kinds of chocolates.
The phrase 'was like so much fond' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'was very fond' to indicate strong liking.
× And my parents were like very strict about having chocolates because I have a problem of tooth decay.
✓ And my parents were very strict about me having chocolates because I had a problem with tooth decay.
The phrase 'were like very strict' is informal and incorrect; 'were very strict' is correct. Also, 'I have' should be past tense 'I had' to match the past context. 'Problem of tooth decay' should be 'problem with tooth decay'.
× So they generally keep away this chocolates from me.
✓ So they generally kept these chocolates away from me.
The verb tense should be past 'kept' to match past context. 'This chocolates' is incorrect; 'these chocolates' is correct plural demonstrative pronoun.
× But I cry and somehow.
✓ But I cried and somehow got them.
The sentence is incomplete and lacks clarity. Adding 'cried' and 'got them' completes the thought and corrects tense.
× Chocolate is quite popular around the world becauses in occasions such as birthdays, someone's engagement party or a wedding reception, people generally prefer giving chocolates as greeting or a gift to indicate love and gratitude towards the people.
✓ Chocolate is quite popular around the world because on occasions such as birthdays, someone's engagement party, or a wedding reception, people generally prefer giving chocolates as a greeting or a gift to indicate love and gratitude towards others.
The word 'becauses' is a typo and should be 'because'. The preposition 'in' should be 'on' when referring to occasions. 'As greeting' should be 'as a greeting'. 'Towards the people' is better as 'towards others' for clarity.
× My favorite flavor in chocolate is the dark chocolate which is rich in cocoa which helps me relieve my stress and anxiety.
✓ My favorite flavor of chocolate is dark chocolate, which is rich in cocoa and helps me relieve my stress and anxiety.
The phrase 'flavor in chocolate' should be 'flavor of chocolate'. Also, adding commas improves sentence clarity. 'Which helps me relieve' is better connected with 'and'.
× Otherwise ur talking about other flavors, I sometimes like strawberry and orange chocolates very much.
✓ Otherwise, when talking about other flavors, I sometimes like strawberry and orange chocolates very much.
The sentence is informal and incomplete. 'ur' should be 'you are' or 'when'. Adding 'when talking about' clarifies the meaning.
× Yes, of course. Chocolate is a sweet sugary thing generally gifted to others in form of love and gratitude to other people on their special occasions like birthday, engagement and wedding.
✓ Yes, of course. Chocolate is a sweet, sugary thing generally gifted to others as a form of love and gratitude on their special occasions like birthdays, engagements, and weddings.
'In form of love' should be 'as a form of love'. Also, plural forms 'birthdays', 'engagements', and 'weddings' are appropriate here.
× It will show how. Great, you love them.
✓ It will show how much you love them.
The sentence is fragmented and unclear. Combining into one sentence with 'how much you love them' corrects the structure and meaning.
