× Well, now I don't usually wear AT shirt anymore.
✓ Well, now I don't usually wear that shirt anymore.
The student used 'AT' which seems to be a typo for the demonstrative 'that'. Use 'that' before singular countable nouns to refer to a specific item (that shirt). Also 'a' or 'the' could work depending on context, but 'that shirt' matches spoken reference. Suggestion: replace 'AT' with 'that'.
× I think that I wear it about two or three times a week, especially at the weekend because you know, even it's really comfortable, but it's not really stylish and fashion fashionable.
✓ I think that I wear it about two or three times a week, especially at the weekend because, you know, even though it's really comfortable, it's not very fashionable.
Several issues: 'even it's' is incorrect; the correct conjunction is 'even though' or 'although' to introduce contrast. 'fashion fashionable' is redundant; use 'fashionable' or 'stylish'. Also use 'it's' instead of repeating 'but it's'. Suggestion: use 'even though' and choose one adjective: 'fashionable' or 'stylish'.
× Whenever I go out, I have to wear something more stylish.
✓ Whenever I go out, I have to wear something more stylish.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. It correctly uses pronouns and structure. Included for completeness.
× No, I don't usually buy T-shirts because at I mentioned before, I don't usually wear it just three, two, four or three times a week.
✓ No, I don't usually buy T-shirts because, as I mentioned before, I only wear them two or three times a week.
Problems: 'at I mentioned' is incorrect; correct phrase is 'as I mentioned'. 'it' is wrong because 'T-shirts' is plural, so use 'them'. The order 'just three, two, four or three times' is confused; simplify to 'two or three times a week.' Suggestion: use 'as I mentioned' and match pronoun number.
× So I wanna spend that money to buy other things like dress or tea or shirts so that so a tie so I can so that I can wear to my.
✓ So I want to spend that money on buying other things like dresses, ties, or shirts so that I can wear them.
Multiple problems: 'wanna' is informal; use 'want to'. Preposition 'spend money on' is correct, not 'spend money to'. List items should be plural and meaningful: 'dress or tea' is likely 'dresses or ties'; 'tea' is incorrect. Remove repeated fragments 'so that so a tie so I can so that I can wear to my.' Also use object pronoun 'them' to refer to the items. Suggestion: reorganize sentence with correct verbs and prepositions and clear list.
× I think that T-shirt are not really fashionable for the old people in in Vietnam because I think that the old people, they want to wear something that more comfortable and more stylish.
✓ I think that T-shirts are not really fashionable for older people in Vietnam because they prefer to wear something more comfortable and more stylish.
Use plural 'T-shirts' with plural verb 'are'. 'the old people' is awkward; use 'older people' or 'elderly people'. Remove the redundant 'they' after 'the old people,'. Use 'prefer' to express habitual preference and correct comparative structure 'more comfortable and more stylish' is fine but 'that more comfortable' is incorrect; omit 'that'. Suggestion: use plural agreement and smoother phrasing.
× Yes, I did. I usually wear AT shirt when I was a child because it's really comfortable and it allowed me to move, uh, move easily and can play around with my friends and you know, because and this is very cheap so.
✓ Yes, I did. I usually wore that shirt when I was a child because it was really comfortable and allowed me to move easily and play with my friends, and it was very cheap.
Tense inconsistency: when referring to past habits, use past tense 'wore' (not 'wear'). 'AT' should be 'that'. Match verbs to past: 'it was really comfortable', 'allowed me', and 'was very cheap'. Remove filler and awkward fragments like 'uh' and 'and you know, because and this is'. Suggestion: use simple past for past habits and clean up redundant words.
