Do you make a list when you shop?
Thí sinh
Yes, I do. Because if I don't make a list, I would get the thing that I don't really need. And I spend a lot of money on them and I waste my money and I ended up getting so many stuffs that I don't really need and I'm gonna throw it away eventually. So making this is very important for me.

No, I don't make a list for my work because I don't think it works for me. When I work or study I usually don't like to follow the list that I make. I just wanna do whatever I want at the time.

× I would get the thing that I don't really need.
✓ I would get things that I don't really need.
The word 'thing' should be plural 'things' because it refers to multiple items, not just one.
× I spend a lot of money on them and I waste my money and I ended up getting so many stuffs that I don't really need
✓ I spend a lot of money on them and I waste my money and I ended up getting so much stuff that I don't really need
The word 'stuffs' is incorrect; 'stuff' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized.
× So making this is very important for me.
✓ So making this list is very important for me.
The phrase 'making this' is incomplete and unclear; adding 'list' clarifies the meaning and makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× I just wanna do whatever I want at the time.
✓ I just want to do whatever I want at the time.
The informal contraction 'wanna' should be replaced with the correct modal verb phrase 'want to' in formal speech.
× In my opinion making lists makes us like we gotta do the thing on the list and be gonna be so stressed out.
✓ In my opinion, making lists makes us feel like we have to do the things on the list and can be very stressful.
The original sentence has informal and incorrect expressions such as 'gotta' and 'be gonna be'; it needs restructuring for clarity and grammatical correctness.
× So with that list is more efficient way to work.
✓ So having that list is a more efficient way to work.
The original sentence lacks a subject and article; adding 'having' and 'a' corrects the sentence structure.
× I prefer to make a list on paper because I'm the type of person who really like to use the physical paper instead of using mobile devices because it just makes me feel good.
✓ I prefer to make a list on paper because I'm the type of person who really likes to use physical paper instead of mobile devices because it just makes me feel good.
The verb 'like' should be 'likes' to agree with the singular subject 'person'; also, 'the physical paper' is better as 'physical paper' for natural expression.
