× I always wear T-shirts whenever I'm going for a casual outing with my friends, like birthday uh, strolling and visiting a close by friends.
✓ I always wear T-shirts whenever I go on casual outings with my friends, such as birthday parties, strolling, and visiting nearby friends.
The student mixed present simple and present continuous incorrectly ('I always wear' with 'I'm going'). Use present simple for habitual actions ('I go'). 'A close by friends' has article and number errors and word order issues; use 'nearby friends' and plural 'parties'. Also reorder items for clarity.
× It makes me look comfortable and it is easier to wear.
✓ They make me look comfortable and are easy to wear.
Pronoun agreement: 'T-shirts' is plural so use 'they' and 'make'. 'Easier to wear' compares without reference; use 'easy to wear' to describe characteristic.
× I like it so much.
✓ I like them very much.
Pronoun should agree with plural noun 'T-shirts' -> 'them'. Also 'so much' is informal; 'very much' is more natural here.
× Yes, I like buying T-shirts because it makes me feel more comfortable and easier to wear than other tops, and I like wearing it whenever I'm going for casual outing with friends, such as birthday party or for a stroke.
✓ Yes, I like buying T-shirts because they make me feel more comfortable and are easier to wear than other tops, and I like wearing them whenever I go on casual outings with friends, such as birthday parties or for a stroll.
Subject-pronoun agreement: 'T-shirts' is plural so use 'they' and 'them'. Maintain present simple for habitual actions ('I go'). 'For a stroke' is incorrect idiom; likely 'for a stroll'. Use plural 'birthday parties' to match generalisation.
× T-shirts are easier to wear, to wear and easily to wash and dry.
✓ T-shirts are easy to wear and easy to wash and dry.
Redundant repetition 'easier to wear, to wear' is incorrect. Use parallel structure 'easy to wear and easy to wash and dry.' Avoid comparative 'easier' without comparison.
× So majority of people in my country like going for it because it makes them comfortable, looks more casual and more easier to wear than other clothes.
✓ So the majority of people in my country like wearing them because they make them comfortable, look more casual, and are easier to wear than other clothes.
Need definite article 'the majority'. Pronouns must agree with plural 'T-shirts' -> 'them' and 'they'. Remove double comparative 'more easier' -> 'easier'. Maintain parallel verb forms: 'make', 'look', 'are'.
× No, I didn't wear T-shirts when I was small.
✓ No, I didn't wear T-shirts when I was a child.
'When I was small' is understandable but 'when I was a child' is more natural. Past tense 'didn't wear' is correct; change only phrasing for naturalness.
× I like wearing gown and other traditional attires because my mom had never thought of buying them for me.
✓ I liked wearing gowns and other traditional attire because my mom had never thought of buying T-shirts for me.
Tense consistency: speaker refers to childhood, so use past 'liked'. 'Gown' should be plural 'gowns' if general, and 'attire' is usually uncountable not 'attires'. Clarify object of 'buying' as 'T-shirts'. 'Had never thought' (past perfect) is acceptable to show prior action; keep it if context is clear.
