× Yeah, I like wearing T-shirt, but I do not wear them often. Uh.
✓ Yeah, I like wearing T-shirts, but I do not wear them often.
The noun 'T-shirt' should be plural 'T-shirts' because 'them' refers to multiple shirts; this is a singular and plural issue handled by using the plural form with the general statement. Also ensure consistency between noun and pronoun. Suggestion: use 'T-shirts' whenever speaking generally about types of shirt you wear.
× I like to wear professional coats.
✓ I like to wear professional coats.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable, but 'coats' can be plural or singular depending on meaning. If the student means the general type of clothing, 'coats' is fine. No change needed. (Included to confirm no correction required.)
× Preferably I like black clothes because they are very easy to set up with other clothes.
✓ Preferably, I like black clothes because they are very easy to match with other clothes.
The phrase 'set up with' is incorrect collocation for clothing; the correct verb is 'match'. Also add a comma after 'Preferably' as an introductory adverb. Suggestion: use 'match' when talking about combining clothes.
× As I mentioned earlier, I like looking professional.
✓ As I mentioned earlier, I like looking professional.
This sentence is correct. It uses the -ing form 'looking' appropriately to describe appearance. No correction needed.
× I separate the time for choosing my clothes.
✓ I set aside time to choose my clothes.
'Separate the time' is an unnatural collocation; use 'set aside time' or 'reserve time'. Also use the infinitive 'to choose' instead of 'for choosing' for more natural English. Suggestion: say 'I set aside time to choose my clothes.'
