× I love eating chocolate very much, especially when I am on the huge pleasure.
✓ I love eating chocolate very much, especially when I am in huge pleasure.
The phrase 'on the huge pleasure' is incorrect because the preposition 'on' does not collocate with 'pleasure' in this context. The correct preposition is 'in' to express being in a state of pleasure.
× For example umm I when I was was preparing for the exam, I used to eat plenty of chocolates because it makes me feel happier with the release of dopamine.
✓ For example, when I was preparing for the exam, I used to eat plenty of chocolates because it made me feel happier with the release of dopamine.
The verb 'makes' should be in the past tense 'made' to agree with the past context 'used to eat' and 'was preparing'. Also, the repeated word 'was' is a typographical error and should be corrected.
× I used to eat chocolate everyday when I was a student, but I know there is a lot of drawbacks eating chocolate.
✓ I used to eat chocolate every day when I was a student, but I know there are a lot of drawbacks to eating chocolate.
The word 'everyday' is an adjective meaning 'commonplace'; the correct adverb is 'every day' (two words). Also, 'there is' should be 'there are' to agree with the plural noun 'drawbacks'. Additionally, 'drawbacks eating chocolate' is missing the preposition 'to'.
× I used to eat chocolate everyday when I was a student, but I know there is a lot of drawbacks eating chocolate.
✓ I used to eat chocolate every day when I was a student, but I know there are a lot of drawbacks to eating chocolate.
The phrase 'there is a lot of drawbacks' is incorrect because 'drawbacks' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is'. Also, 'a lot of' is followed by plural noun, so 'are' is appropriate.
× For example, it contains a lot of sugar which makes me get fatter and fatter and also which may hinder my health so I seldom eat it.
✓ For example, it contains a lot of sugar which makes me get fatter and fatter and also may hinder my health, so I seldom eat it.
The phrase 'which may hinder my health' is correct but the second 'which' is unnecessary and disrupts sentence flow. Removing the second 'which' improves clarity.
× When I was a kid, I used to eat uh, chocolate every day because it is my favorite, umm, snacks.
✓ When I was a kid, I used to eat chocolate every day because it was my favourite snack.
'Chocolate' is singular and uncountable here, so 'snacks' (plural) is incorrect. Also, 'it is' should be 'it was' to match past tense. 'Favourite snack' is the correct singular form.
× My mom, uh, bought it to me, uh, once she finished her work and as a trip or compliment.
✓ My mom bought it for me once she finished her work as a treat or compliment.
The verb 'bought' takes the preposition 'for' when indicating the recipient, not 'to'. Also, 'trip' is incorrect in this context; 'treat' is the appropriate word.
× Chocolate is famous worldwide for several reasons. For example, some chocolate is produced by the luxury brands some.
✓ Chocolate is famous worldwide for several reasons. For example, some chocolate is produced by luxury brands.
The phrase 'the luxury brands some' is ungrammatical and redundant. Removing 'some' at the end corrects the sentence structure.
× Therefore, some individuals would like to showcase their high rank in the society so they will buy it and then post it into the social media and all.
✓ Therefore, some individuals would like to showcase their high rank in society, so they buy it and then post it on social media and so on.
'In the society' should be 'in society' without 'the'. 'Post it into the social media' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'on'. 'And all' is informal; 'and so on' is more appropriate.
× My favorite flavor of chocolate would be the coffee flavored because I really love drinking coffee and the smells of coffee can helps me stay focused uh when especially when I am very tired and also the aroma of the coffee can help me reflect.
✓ My favourite flavour of chocolate would be coffee-flavoured because I really love drinking coffee and the smell of coffee can help me stay focused, especially when I am very tired. Also, the aroma of coffee can help me reflect.
'Coffee flavored' should be 'coffee-flavoured' as a compound adjective. 'Smells' should be singular 'smell' to refer to the general scent. 'Can helps' is incorrect; modal verb 'can' is followed by base verb 'help'. Sentence is long and benefits from splitting for clarity.
× My favorite flavor of chocolate would be the coffee flavored because I really love drinking coffee and the smells of coffee can helps me stay focused uh when especially when I am very tired and also the aroma of the coffee can help me reflect.
✓ My favourite flavour of chocolate would be coffee-flavoured because I really love drinking coffee and the smell of coffee can help me stay focused, especially when I am very tired. Also, the aroma of coffee can help me reflect.
The modal verb 'can' should be followed by the base form of the verb without 's'. Therefore, 'can helps' is incorrect; it should be 'can help'.
× I don't think chocolate is always a good gift because not everyone like eating chocolate and also to some of the people chocolate is quite sweet, uh and not healthy with a lot of sugar.
✓ I don't think chocolate is always a good gift because not everyone likes eating chocolate, and for some people, chocolate is quite sweet and not healthy due to a lot of sugar.
'Not everyone like' should be 'not everyone likes' to agree with singular subject 'everyone'. 'To some of the people' is awkward; 'for some people' is correct. 'With a lot of sugar' is better expressed as 'due to a lot of sugar'.
× And also it is a challenge for us to keep it fresh.
✓ Also, it is a challenge for us to keep it fresh.
Starting a sentence with 'And also' is redundant and informal. Using 'Also' alone is more appropriate in formal speech or writing.
