× I would like to say I am not a tidy people but when I feel like my room is like uh full of rubbish I will wash my house and I keep it tiny if it too.
✓ I would like to say I am not a tidy person, but when I feel like my room is full of rubbish I will clean my room and keep it tidy.
'People' is plural while the speaker refers to themselves singular, so use 'person'. 'Wash my house' is unnatural for tidying a room; use 'clean my room'. 'Keep it tiny' is incorrect word choice and meaning; 'keep it tidy' is appropriate. Also remove filler words and redundant 'like'. Suggestions: use singular pronouns for one person, choose appropriate verbs (clean), and use 'tidy' to describe neatness.
× As a child, I am a hard working person who usually clean the house and uh, swept the room.
✓ As a child, I was a hardworking person who usually cleaned the house and swept the room.
The sentence refers to past time 'As a child', so verbs should be in past tense: 'am' -> 'was'; 'clean' -> 'cleaned'. 'Hard working' is normally written as 'hardworking'. Suggestions: match tense to time expressions and use past forms for repeated past actions.
× I think in my childhood I don't usually have much work to do, so I often do the housework and help parents with household chores.
✓ I think in my childhood I didn't usually have much work to do, so I often did the housework and helped my parents with household chores.
Childhood is past, so 'don't usually have' should be past 'didn't usually have'; 'do' -> 'did'; 'help parents' -> 'helped my parents' requires past tense and a possessive. Suggestions: ensure past tense consistency and include possessive pronouns when referring to 'parents'.
× I just doesn't eat while I study.
✓ I just don't eat while I study.
Subject 'I' pairs with auxiliary 'do' not 'does'; 'doesn't' is for third person singular. Use 'don't' with I. Suggestion: remember 'doesn't' for he/she/it and 'don't' for I/you/we/they.
× I don't bring so many books or many uh, documentary on my table and just do little.
✓ I don't bring many books or many documentaries to my table and I only do a little at a time.
'So many' is colloquial and redundant with 'many'; 'documentary' should be plural 'documentaries' when countable. Preposition 'on' with 'table' is acceptable but 'to my table' is more natural for bringing items. 'Do little' is vague; 'do a little' or 'do a small amount at a time' is clearer. Suggestions: use correct plural forms and clearer quantifiers and prepositions.
× Also, uh, clean my house usually weekly.
✓ Also, I clean my house usually every week.
Missing subject 'I' and adverb placement: 'usually weekly' is awkward; use 'usually every week' or 'usually weekly' after the verb. Suggestions: include subject and use natural adverb phrases: 'usually every week'.
× That would be because when I live untidy there are rats ex exit in my room and there are so many spider or some insect like that that will make me feel uncomfortable and a little bit disgusting.
✓ That is because when I live untidily there are rats and mice in my room, and there are many spiders and other insects that make me feel uncomfortable and a little disgusted.
Adverb needed: 'live untidy' -> 'live untidily' or 'live in an untidy way'. 'Rats ex exit' is unclear; likely intended 'rats and mice' or 'rats exist'. Use 'spiders' plural. 'That will make me feel' should be present simple for general truth: 'make me feel'. 'Disgusting' describes insects; to describe the speaker's feeling use 'disgusted'. Suggestions: use adverbs for manner, correct plural nouns, choose verbs that match meaning ('exist' not 'exit'), and match adjective/participant to the subject ('disgusted' for person).
