× I'm a student, my school offer several English course classes such as academic writing and career issues.
✓ I'm a student. My school offers several English courses, such as Academic Writing and Career Issues.
Subject 'school' is singular so the verb should be 'offers' (subject-verb agreement). 'English course classes' is redundant and uncountable; the correct plural is 'courses'. Capitalize course names. Also separate into two sentences for clarity.
× For example, academic writing help me to build structure in English and current issue made me aware of current news.
✓ For example, Academic Writing helps me build structure in English, and Current Issues makes me aware of current news.
'Academic Writing' is a singular course so the verb should be 'helps' (third person singular). When using 'help' plus a verb, the base form 'build' is correct, not 'to build'. 'Current issue' likely refers to a course 'Current Issues' (plural or titled) so use singular verb 'makes' if treated as a course title; keep consistent capitalization.
× I study at high school.
✓ I study at a high school.
In English, when referring to attending 'high school' in general, include the article 'a' before 'high school' unless using a proper name. The sentence needs the indefinite article for correct grammar.
× It takes about one hour from my home, which is longer than my friends.
✓ It takes about one hour from my home, which is longer than it takes my friends.
The clause 'which is longer than my friends' is incomplete; compare durations by specifying what is longer than friends' commute: 'it takes my friends' or 'their commute'. Maintain parallel structure.
× It's really hard sometimes but I think it's worth doing it so I'm really enjoying it.
✓ It's really hard sometimes, but I think it's worth it, so I really enjoy it.
Mixed tenses and awkward phrasing: 'worth doing it' should be 'worth it'. Use simple present 'I really enjoy it' for habitual feeling rather than present continuous 'I'm really enjoying it' unless emphasizing a current ongoing experience. Also add commas for clarity.
× I think it's good place to study because there is no distraction around my high school which help me to which help me focus on my studying and we can see beautiful ocean from my classroom which help me reduce my stress and and wind.
✓ I think it's a good place to study because there are no distractions around my high school, which help me focus on my studies, and we can see the beautiful ocean from my classroom, which helps reduce my stress and the wind.
Need the indefinite article 'a' before 'good place'. 'No distraction' should be plural 'no distractions'. 'Help' must agree with plural 'distractions' and singular 'which' referring to the view should use 'helps'. Use 'focus on my studies' (plural) and insert necessary commas. 'And and wind' contains repetition and unclear meaning; I interpreted to mean the ocean view reduces stress and the wind — adjust to 'the wind'.
× Yes, I would like the place where I started to change quieter environment because it would be beneficial and help me focus on my study more.
✓ Yes, I would like the place where I study to become quieter because that would be beneficial and help me focus more on my studies.
Original sentence has incorrect structure and word order: 'where I started to change quieter environment' is ungrammatical. Use 'where I study' and 'to become quieter' to express desired change. Use 'that would be' for conditional and 'focus more on my studies' for natural word order.
× For example, if there were quite a liberally.
✓ For example, if it were quieter and more liberally regulated.
Original phrase is unclear and uses incorrect words. 'Quite a liberally' is ungrammatical. I propose 'quieter' (comparative adjective) for environment and 'more liberally regulated' if the speaker meant relaxed policies. Clarify intended meaning; if the student meant 'quiet library', correction could be 'if there were a quiet library'.
× My future study Belong is to go to university in Malaysia and study international relations.
✓ My future study plan is to go to a university in Malaysia and study International Relations.
'Belong' is incorrect here; use 'plan' or 'goal'. 'University' generally takes an article 'a university' unless naming a specific institution. Capitalize discipline 'International Relations' as a program name.
× I want to focus on global policy because I'm really interested in working for the United Nations and I believe this degree will give me the knowledge and contacts I need to pursue that career.
✓ I want to focus on global policy because I'm really interested in working at the United Nations, and I believe this degree will give me the knowledge and contacts I need to pursue that career.
Prepositions with organizations can be 'at' or 'for'; both are possible but 'at the United Nations' is common when referring to working within the organization. Add a comma before 'and' for clarity. The rest of the sentence is fine.
