Why don't some people like making lists?
考生
Well, in my perspective, I think that some individuals find it more monotonous and irritating to write the things on a paper and keep them in their bag and pockets. So that's why they always ignore to make a list. Apart from this, they have a sharp mind so that's why they do not have any kind of help.

Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
考生
Well, in these days I always prefer to make a list by using my mobile phone as it is really convenient way to recheck it and edit it easily. But when I was a child, I always prefer to make a list by using a paper and a pen. I do not have mobile phone at that time.

× For example, last week I went for shopping.
✓ For example, last week I went shopping.
The phrase 'went for shopping' is incorrect because 'go shopping' is the correct collocation. The preposition 'for' is unnecessary here. The correct past tense expression is 'went shopping'.
× I always try to make a list of to do things in my work as I'm an office admin so in a transportation company.
✓ I always try to make a list of things to do in my work as I'm an office admin in a transportation company.
The phrase 'list of to do things' is awkward and incorrect. The correct phrase is 'list of things to do'. Also, 'so in a transportation company' is unnecessary and incorrect; it should be 'in a transportation company' to indicate the workplace.
× So I always prefer to make a list of the schedule and the appointments beforehand, whatever it is with my boss or with the customers.
✓ So I always prefer to make a list of the schedule and appointments beforehand, whether it is with my boss or with customers.
The phrase 'whatever it is' is incorrect in this context; 'whether it is' is the correct expression to indicate alternatives. Also, 'the customers' can be generalized to 'customers' unless referring to specific ones.
× I think that some individuals find it more monotonous and irritating to write the things on a paper and keep them in their bag and pockets.
✓ I think that some individuals find it more monotonous and irritating to write things on paper and keep them in their bags and pockets.
The article 'the' before 'things' and 'paper' is unnecessary here. Also, 'bag' should be pluralized to 'bags' to match 'pockets' since people usually have multiple pockets and possibly multiple bags.
× So that's why they always ignore to make a list.
✓ So that's why they always ignore making a list.
The verb 'ignore' is followed by a gerund (-ing form), not an infinitive. Therefore, 'ignore to make' is incorrect; it should be 'ignore making'.
× Apart from this, they have a sharp mind so that's why they do not have any kind of help.
✓ Apart from this, they have sharp minds, so they do not need any kind of help.
'They have a sharp mind' is incorrect because 'they' is plural and should be matched with 'sharp minds'. Also, 'do not have any kind of help' is better expressed as 'do not need any kind of help' to convey the intended meaning.
× Well, in these days I always prefer to make a list by using my mobile phone as it is really convenient way to recheck it and edit it easily.
✓ Well, these days I always prefer to make a list using my mobile phone as it is a really convenient way to recheck and edit it easily.
The phrase 'in these days' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'these days'. Also, 'by using' can be simplified to 'using'. The article 'a' is missing before 'really convenient way'.
× But when I was a child, I always prefer to make a list by using a paper and a pen.
✓ But when I was a child, I always preferred to make a list using paper and a pen.
The verb 'prefer' should be in the past tense 'preferred' to match the past time frame 'when I was a child'. Also, 'by using a paper' is incorrect; 'using paper' is the correct form.
× I do not have mobile phone at that time.
✓ I did not have a mobile phone at that time.
The sentence refers to a past time, so the verb should be in the past tense 'did not have'. Also, the article 'a' is needed before 'mobile phone'.
