× I really make list when I shop because I think shopping around is a great way to relax so I want to lose my mind and don't think anything just to find anything.
✓ I really make lists when I shop because I think shopping around is a great way to relax so I want to lose my mind and not think about anything just to find anything.
The noun 'list' should be plural 'lists' because it refers to the general action of making multiple lists when shopping. Also, 'don't think anything' is incorrect; it should be 'not think about anything' to express the intended meaning clearly.
× This in on designed and unprepared.
✓ This is unplanned and unprepared.
The phrase 'in on designed' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'unplanned' or 'not designed'. Also, 'unprepared' is the correct adjective here. The sentence needed restructuring for clarity and correctness.
× I think it's a great fun.
✓ I think it's great fun.
The word 'fun' is an uncountable noun and does not require the article 'a'. Therefore, 'a great fun' is incorrect; it should be 'great fun'.
× Yes, I often make a list for my work because my work is filled with not only daily routines but also unexpected tasks.
✓ Yes, I often make lists for my work because my work is filled with not only daily routines but also unexpected tasks.
Since the speaker refers to making lists regularly, the plural form 'lists' is more appropriate than the singular 'a list'.
× So I need to write all the tasks so that I won't forget anything important.
✓ So I need to write down all the tasks so that I won't forget anything important.
The verb 'write' usually requires the particle 'down' when referring to recording information. Omitting 'down' makes the sentence less natural.
× And I find this method quite effective and useful because it helps me concentrate on my work without.
✓ And I find this method quite effective and useful because it helps me concentrate on my work without distractions.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'without' which is incomplete. Adding 'distractions' completes the thought and makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× Maybe they think make a list doesn't work for them because it's sometimes can be seen as a waste of time to making too much list and do not take actions.
✓ Maybe they think making a list doesn't work for them because it can sometimes be seen as a waste of time to make too many lists and not take action.
The phrase 'think make a list' is incorrect; it should be 'think making a list'. 'Too much list' should be 'too many lists' because 'list' is countable. 'Do not take actions' should be 'not take action' for natural expression.
× But I do think make list is useful.
✓ But I do think making lists is useful.
'Make list' is incorrect; it should be 'making lists' to express the general action. Also, 'lists' should be plural to indicate the general concept.
× I prefer make this on the remainder of my smart phone because I find it quite convenient.
✓ I prefer to make this on the reminder of my smartphone because I find it quite convenient.
The verb 'prefer' should be followed by 'to' plus the base verb: 'prefer to make'. 'Remainder' is incorrect here; the correct word is 'reminder'. Also, 'smart phone' is commonly written as one word 'smartphone'.
× You just need to type some words on the app so you can remember them without forgetting anything important.
✓ You just need to type some words into the app so you can remember them without forgetting anything important.
The correct preposition with 'type' in this context is 'into' rather than 'on'. This makes the sentence more natural and grammatically correct.
× So I usually use the smart phones remember reminder.
✓ So I usually use the smartphone's reminder.
The phrase 'smart phones remember reminder' is incorrect. It should be 'smartphone's reminder' to indicate the reminder feature of the smartphone. Also, 'smartphone' is singular here.
