Multiple errors: 'these day' should be 'these days' (plural) so matches Grammar Problem Type 1: Singular and plural issue; 'study' following 'working and' needs gerund 'studying' — grammar type 8: Verb + -ing form; missing article before 'schedule' — grammar type 17: Incorrect use of the definite article; 'no time for being myself' is unidiomatic and should be 'no time for myself' — grammar type 13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs. Suggested improvement: check noun plurality, use gerunds after verbs like 'working and studying', include articles before specific nouns, and use natural English phrases like 'no time for myself'.
× When I was a kid, I loved to make my bed tidily because when I woke up early, early morning and I feel very happy with the tidy bedroom and show that to my mom and my dad and I were very proud of myself.
✓ When I was a kid, I loved to make my bed tidily because when I woke up early in the morning I felt very happy with the tidy bedroom and showed it to my mom and dad; I was very proud of myself.
Errors: tense inconsistency — 'I feel' should be past 'I felt' (Grammar Problem Type 6: Present tense issue and 5: Past tense issue); redundant 'early, early morning' should be 'early in the morning' (Grammar Problem Type 11: Incorrect use of prepositions); 'show that to my mom and my dad' is awkward; use 'showed it to my mom and dad' (Grammar Problem Type 26: Sentence structure errors). Suggestion: keep past-tense consistently when describing past habits, use standard prepositional phrase 'in the morning', and use concise pronoun references 'it' for the bedroom.
× Before going home I always clean up my working space like put the trash in the garbage cans and use the tissue and wipe my tables, my desk and I clean and I tidy up the my file and put it.
✓ Before going home, I always clean up my workspace: I put the trash in the garbage can, use a tissue to wipe my table and desk, and tidy up my files.
Subject-verb agreement and sentence structure problems: 'I always clean' is acceptable but the list that follows is ungrammatical and repetitive (Grammar Problem Type 27: Subject-verb agreement errors and 26: Sentence structure errors). 'Garbage cans' can be singular 'garbage can' in many contexts (Grammar Problem Type 1: Singular and plural issue). 'use the tissue' should be 'use a tissue' (Grammar Problem Type 22: Article errors). 'wipe my tables, my desk' is redundant — use 'table and desk' or 'table and desk' (Grammar Problem Type 18: Incorrect order of adjectives not directly but ordering). Suggestion: simplify lists, use articles correctly, and keep parallel structure in lists (use verbs in same form).
× In my opinion, it depends on the situation that we accept. For example, when I'm free and I can spend most of the time cleaning up my working space or my bedrooms for example. However, when I'm busy with working and studying, I don't have enough time to do that and.
✓ In my opinion, it depends on the situation. For example, when I'm free I can spend most of my time cleaning my workspace or my bedroom. However, when I'm busy with work and study, I don't have enough time to do that.
Problems: sentence fragments and tense/word choice issues. 'depends on the situation that we accept' is unnatural and causes sentence structure error (Grammar Problem Type 26). 'spend most of the time' should be 'spend most of my time' (Grammar Problem Type 11: Incorrect use of prepositions/possessives). 'working and studying' as nouns is awkward; use 'work and study' (Grammar Problem Type 13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs). The final 'and.' is a sentence fragment. Suggestion: write complete sentences, use possessive pronouns for time expressions, and use concise noun forms 'work and study' when referring to activities.
