× Most of the time I try to make a list to, umm, save time whenever I go for the shopping.
✓ Most of the time I try to make a list to, umm, save time whenever I go shopping.
The phrase 'go for the shopping' is incorrect. In English, we say 'go shopping' without 'for the'. This is a common collocation where 'go' is followed by a verb in the -ing form to indicate the activity.
× However, I often forget to umm, list it out and do uh, unnecessary soft pain.
✓ However, I often forget to, umm, list it out and do, uh, unnecessary soft chores.
The phrase 'do unnecessary soft pain' is unclear and likely a mispronunciation or misuse. Assuming the intended meaning is 'do unnecessary soft chores' or 'tasks'. Also, 'list it out' is acceptable but could be simplified to 'make a list'. The correction focuses on clarity and appropriate word choice.
× And I really wanted to umm, make a habit of doing list.
✓ And I really want to, umm, make a habit of making lists.
The phrase 'make a habit of doing list' is incorrect because 'list' is a countable noun and needs an article or plural form. Also, 'doing list' is not idiomatic; we say 'making lists'. The verb 'want' should be in present tense to match the context.
× However, when I was doing a placement, I didn't list out the work to do so that it would be easier and faster to finish all the works within the deadlines.
✓ However, when I was doing a placement, I didn't list out the work to do so that it would be easier and faster to finish all the work within the deadlines.
The word 'works' is incorrect here because 'work' is an uncountable noun when referring to tasks or job duties. Using 'works' implies multiple physical creations, which is not the intended meaning.
× Well, I believe that making a list will be easier, but if you have a good intentions of doing work, you don't need to make the list of work to do so.
✓ Well, I believe that making a list will be easier, but if you have good intentions of doing work, you don't need to make a list of work to do so.
The phrase 'a good intentions' is incorrect because 'intentions' is plural and should not be preceded by the singular article 'a'. The correct phrase is 'good intentions' without 'a'.
× It's better to have a great mindset than making A to do list.
✓ It's better to have a great mindset than making a to-do list.
The article 'A' should be lowercase 'a' and 'to do list' should be hyphenated as 'to-do list' because it is a compound noun. Also, 'making a to-do list' is the correct phrase.
× Coming over to England, but.
✓ Coming over to England, though.
The sentence 'Coming over to England, but.' is incomplete and ungrammatical. It seems to be a fragment. Replacing 'but' with 'though' and integrating it properly would improve clarity, but as a standalone sentence, it is incorrect.
× I prefer making list on my phone because it is more convenient and accessible.
✓ I prefer making lists on my phone because it is more convenient and accessible.
The noun 'list' should be plural 'lists' because the speaker refers to making multiple lists over time, not just one.
× Most of the time my phone will be on my hands and it is it will be very easier for me to just take less whenever I got time and buy something or do something according to it.
✓ Most of the time my phone will be in my hands and it will be much easier for me to just take notes whenever I get time and buy something or do something according to it.
The phrase 'on my hands' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'in my hands'. 'It is it will be very easier' is redundant and should be 'it will be much easier'. 'Take less' is likely a mishearing or typo for 'take notes'. Also, 'got time' should be 'get time' to match present tense.
