× Actually, no, I don't like singing. Because it can increase my self-confidence.
✓ Actually, no, I don't like singing because it can increase my self-confidence.
The sentence 'Because it can increase my self-confidence.' is a sentence fragment and cannot stand alone. It should be connected to the previous sentence to form a complete sentence.
× Uh, I don't know how to think so I prefer to listen to items instead of singing.
✓ Uh, I don't know how to think, so I prefer to listen to items instead of singing.
There is a missing comma before the conjunction 'so' which connects two independent clauses. Adding the comma improves sentence clarity and correctness.
× And instead of that I tried to spend my time on some physical activities.
✓ And instead of that, I tried to spend my time doing some physical activities.
The phrase 'spend my time on some physical activities' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'spend my time doing something' to indicate the activity being performed.
× If I want mention one person it would be my girlfriend because in my opinion it's a good way to show how much will I love her.
✓ If I want to mention one person, it would be my girlfriend because, in my opinion, it's a good way to show how much I love her.
The phrase 'If I want mention' is missing the infinitive 'to'. Also, the word order in 'how much will I love her' is incorrect; it should be 'how much I love her'. Commas are added for clarity.
× If he or she is in a bad mood, definitely it helps them to boost their energy and mood.
✓ If he or she is in a bad mood, definitely it helps him or her to boost his or her energy and mood.
The pronouns 'he or she' and 'them' do not agree in number. To maintain agreement, use 'him or her' and 'his or her' to match the singular subject.
