× Yes, I make a list when I go for shopping because it helped me to mind which item should I bring at home without wasting time over there, so it's more convenient to have a list on hand.
✓ Yes, I make a list when I go shopping because it helps me to remember which items I should bring home without wasting time there, so it's more convenient to have a list on hand.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'helped' (past tense) when the context requires present tense 'helps' to match 'I make a list'. Also, 'go for shopping' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'go shopping'. 'Mind' is not appropriate here; 'remember' or 'keep track of' is better. The sentence structure is adjusted for clarity and correctness.

✓ Yes, I make a list when I go shopping because it helps me to remember which items I should bring home without wasting time there, so it's more convenient to have a list on hand.
The phrase 'go for shopping' is incorrect; the correct form is 'go shopping' using the verb in the present participle form without 'for'. This is a common error in English verb usage.

✓ Yes, I make a list when I go shopping because it helps me to remember which items I should bring home without wasting time there, so it's more convenient to have a list on hand.

✓ Yes, I make a list for my work because it helps me to stay organized and have a clear picture of what should be done first and what should be done last.
The phrase 'what should be done at 1st and what should be done at last' is awkward. 'At 1st' should be 'first' and 'at last' should be 'last'. Also, 'have a clear picture what' needs the preposition 'of' to be correct.
× The most important work should be done first, so it I won't leave it at the last.
✓ The most important work should be done first, so I won't leave it until the end.
The phrase 'so it I won't leave it at the last' is ungrammatical and confusing. The corrected sentence removes the unnecessary 'it' and uses 'until the end' for clarity and correctness.

The article 'A' should be lowercase 'a' and 'to do list' should be hyphenated as 'to-do list'. 'Whatever they want to' is incorrect; 'however they want' is correct. 'Being writing' is incorrect; it should be 'writing'. Also, 'somewhere on the paper' is better as 'on paper'.

The preposition 'on the paper' is less natural than 'on paper' in this context. Also, 'being writing' is incorrect; the correct form is 'writing' without 'being'.
× I prefer to make it on my phone because it's more convenient as I have my phone all the time with me and it's very difficult to find paper and pen to write it down so it's better to so I prefer to have a list on phone only.
