× I pay a lot of attention to my clothing, however, I do not spend a lot of time to choosing what to wear because I often hurrying to go somewhere and that's why I usually wear something.
✓ I pay a lot of attention to my clothing; however, I do not spend a lot of time choosing what to wear because I am often in a hurry to go somewhere, and that's why I usually just wear something.
Errors: 'to choosing' is incorrect because after 'spend time' we use the gerund (choosing), not 'to' plus gerund. 'I often hurrying' lacks an auxiliary verb; the correct continuous form is 'I am often hurrying' or better 'I am often in a hurry'. Suggestion: Use 'spend time choosing' and 'I am often in a hurry' or 'I often hurry' depending on intended meaning. Use a semicolon or period to separate independent clauses for clarity.
× As I said before, I'm often in a hurry, so I often wear casual things that are available at any time. So that's the reason I choose casual clothes over smart ones.
✓ As I said before, I'm often in a hurry, so I usually wear casual clothes that are convenient; that's why I choose casual clothes over smart ones.
Errors: 'available at any time' is awkward for clothing — 'convenient' or 'easy to put on' is better. Repetition of 'so' is stylistically weak. Use 'usually' instead of repeated 'often' to vary vocabulary. Maintain present simple for habitual actions.
× Yes, I do like wearing T-shirts because they feed most of my pants and moreover they are very comfortable and stylish.
✓ Yes, I do like wearing T-shirts because they go with most of my pants, and they are very comfortable and stylish.
Error: 'feed most of my pants' is wrong word choice; the correct phrase is 'go with' or 'match' to indicate compatibility. 'Moreover' is formal and can be replaced with 'and' in spoken answers. Maintain present simple for general truths/habits.
× It depends where I go because most of my time I am in a hurry, but if it's about a special occasion, I spend a lot of time choosing fashionable outfits.
✓ It depends on where I am going because most of the time I am in a hurry, but if it's for a special occasion, I spend a lot of time choosing fashionable outfits.
Errors: Missing preposition 'on' after 'depends'. 'Most of my time I am in a hurry' has incorrect word order; correct form is 'most of the time I am in a hurry'. Use 'for a special occasion' rather than 'about'. Keep tenses consistent (present continuous for planned/near-future or habitual contexts).
× Commonly on work days I wear more smart clothes because I go to school where it is important to. Wear only uniform. However, on weekdays I wear comfort clothes, so that's schedules.
✓ Usually on work days I wear smarter clothes because I go to school where it is important to wear a uniform. However, on weekends I wear comfortable clothes because of my schedule.
Errors: 'Commonly' is less natural than 'Usually'. 'Wear more smart clothes' should be 'wear smarter clothes' (comparative adjective). Sentence fragments: 'where it is important to. Wear only uniform.' must be combined into 'where it is important to wear a uniform.' 'On weekdays I wear comfort clothes' conflicts with earlier 'work days' — likely meant 'weekends'. 'Comfort clothes' should be 'comfortable clothes'. 'So that's schedules' is ungrammatical; clarify as 'because of my schedule' or 'because of the timetable.' Maintain consistent meaning between workdays and weekends.
× One of my favorite colors is dark blue and black because my skin is pretty pale so only dark clothes look good on me.
✓ My favorite colors are dark blue and black because my skin is quite pale, so dark clothes look better on me.
Errors: 'One of my favorite colors is dark blue and black' is incorrect because two colors are listed — use plural 'colors are'. 'Pretty' is colloquial; 'quite' is preferable in a test answer. 'Only dark clothes look good on me' is acceptable but 'look better on me' is clearer and less absolute. Ensure subject-verb agreement with plural subject.
