× How I use air pulse uh from Apple uh, it is a white colored 1 and it feels comfortable when wearing it and it has a function called uh rich filter out the ambient noise so it's very useful when using it in a noisy.
✓ I use AirPods from Apple. They are white and feel comfortable to wear, and they have a feature called a noise filter that cancels ambient noise, so they are very useful in noisy places.
Errors: incorrect word order and verb form ('How I use' should be 'I use'), incorrect noun name and plurality ('air pulse' -> 'AirPods'), awkward adjective phrase ('white colored 1' -> 'white' or 'white ones'), incorrect use of present participle 'when wearing it' -> 'to wear', missing article and wrong verb forms around the feature name ('called uh rich filter out the ambient noise' -> 'a feature called a noise filter that cancels ambient noise'), and incorrect phrase 'in a noisy' -> 'in noisy places'. Suggestion: use correct subject-verb order, correct product name and plural/singular agreement, use infinitive 'to wear' for purpose/description, add articles where needed, and use clear noun phrases for conditions.
× I will use headphones whenever I'm working or doing something that needs to be concentrated because by listening to music I feel relaxed and I feel more concentrated about something.
✓ I use headphones whenever I'm working or doing something that requires concentration because listening to music helps me relax and concentrate better.
Errors: unnecessary future tense 'I will use' conflicts with habitual context; 'needs to be concentrated' is incorrect passive/awkward phrasing — use 'requires concentration'; 'by listening to music I feel relaxed and I feel more concentrated about something' is redundant and awkward — use 'listening to music helps me relax and concentrate better'. Suggestion: use simple present for habits, use 'require concentration', and combine clauses to avoid repetition.
× I won't wearing I won't using headphones when I need to read an article because, uh, I have to be 100% concentrated on the contents at rates. So the the music, the background music may interfere me.
✓ I won't wear or use headphones when I need to read an article because I have to be 100% focused on the content. So background music may interfere with me.
Errors: incorrect forms 'I won't wearing' and 'I won't using' should be 'I won't wear' and 'I won't use' (modal + base verb). 'be 100% concentrated on the contents at rates' is ungrammatical — use 'be 100% focused on the content'. 'may interfere me' is incorrect transitive use — say 'may interfere with me' or better 'may interfere with my concentration'. Suggestion: after 'won't' use base verb, use 'focused' for mental state, use correct preposition 'with' after 'interfere', and use singular 'content' for the article.
× It's comfortable if you just wear headphones for one or two hours, but if you wear them all day long your ears will be painful. So I recommend people just use 1-2 hours and take a rest hanging out and take a deep breath.
✓ It's comfortable if you wear headphones for one or two hours, but if you wear them all day your ears will hurt. So I recommend that people use them for only one to two hours, take breaks, go outside, and take deep breaths.
Errors: 'your ears will be painful' is unnatural — use 'your ears will hurt' or 'you will feel ear pain'. 'I recommend people just use 1-2 hours' needs structure and articles — use 'I recommend that people use them for only one to two hours'. 'take a rest hanging out' is awkward — clarify as 'take breaks' and 'go outside' or 'hang out'. Suggestion: use natural collocations for pain, recommend with 'that' clause, spell out numbers in speech style, and use parallel verb forms in lists.
