× to watch the televisions or to surfing the net
✓ to watch television or to surf the net
Use base form after 'to' (infinitive). 'To' + verb requires the base form 'surf', not 'surfing'. Also 'television' is uncountable here, so use 'television' not 'the televisions'. Suggestion: Use 'to watch television' and 'to surf the internet'.
× I stay in there
✓ I stay there
Do not use both 'in' and 'there' together; 'there' already indicates location. Remove 'in'. Suggestion: Say 'I stay there' or 'I stay in the dormitory.'
× I have the sedentary lifestyle
✓ I have a sedentary lifestyle
Use the indefinite article 'a' before a singular countable noun phrase 'sedentary lifestyle'. 'The' is incorrect here. Suggestion: Use 'a sedentary lifestyle.'
× I usually stay inside the dormitory to surfing the net
✓ I usually stay inside the dormitory to surf the net
After 'to' use the base verb 'surf' (infinitive), not the -ing form 'surfing'. Suggestion: Use 'to surf the net'.
× update the new and chatting with my friend through the through the screen
✓ update news and chat with my friend through the screen
Use 'update news' (no 'the') and parallel verb forms 'chat' to match 'update'. Remove duplicate 'the'. Suggestion: Use parallel verbs and correct noun forms: 'update news and chat with my friend through the screen.'
× chatting with my friend through the through the screen
✓ chatting with my friends through the screen
Plural 'friends' is more natural when speaking generally. Also remove duplicated words. Maintain number agreement. Suggestion: Say 'chat with my friends through the screen.'
× to refresh their mind
✓ to refresh their minds
When speaking about people in general, pluralize 'mind' to 'minds' to agree with plural 'people' or use 'one's mind'. Suggestion: Use 'refresh their minds' or 'refresh one's mind.'
× make people immerse themselves into uh, the bit and escape the reality
✓ make people immerse themselves in the beat and escape reality
Use 'in' not 'into' with 'immerse oneself in something'. 'Beat' (music beat) is correct spelling. Do not use 'the' before 'reality' in this context. Suggestion: Say 'immerse themselves in the beat and escape reality.'
× I also believe that it make people refresh and recheck the battery after a hard working day
✓ I also believe that it makes people feel refreshed and recharge their energy after a hard working day
Subject 'it' requires third person singular verb 'makes'. 'Refresh' needs to be in adjective form 'feel refreshed' and 'recheck the battery' is incorrect idiom; use 'recharge their energy'. Suggestion: Use 'it makes people feel refreshed and recharge their energy.'
× I tend to stay inside the dorm and surfing the net
✓ I tend to stay inside the dorm and surf the net
After 'and' joining two verbs with same subject, use base forms in parallel: 'stay' and 'surf', not 'surfing'. Suggestion: Keep verbs parallel: 'stay... and surf...'.
× I also update the news and chatting with my friend to the screen
✓ I also update news and chat with my friend on the screen
Use 'on the screen' for communicating via screens. Use parallel verbs 'update' and 'chat' and no article 'the' before 'news'. Suggestion: Say 'update news and chat with my friend on the screen.'
× I hardly go outside because it can rent out my energy
✓ I hardly go outside because it can drain my energy
'Rent out my energy' is incorrect collocation; correct verb is 'drain' meaning reduce energy. Suggestion: Use 'drain my energy'.
× I prefer staying at home and recover by myself
✓ I prefer staying at home and recovering by myself
After 'prefer' with gerund structure, keep parallel gerund 'recovering'. 'By myself' is acceptable. Suggestion: Use parallel gerunds: 'preferring staying... and recovering...' but better: 'I prefer to stay at home and recover by myself.'
