× I like to wear a baggie because it's comfortable to wear everyday.
✓ I like to wear baggy clothes because they're comfortable to wear every day.
The speaker used 'a baggie' incorrectly; 'baggie' is an adjective or informal noun but here 'baggy clothes' is correct. Also 'everyday' (adjective) should be 'every day' (adverbial phrase). Use plural 'clothes' with the plural verb 'they're'. Suggestion: Say 'baggy clothes' and 'every day'. Use plural agreement for 'clothes'.
× Genuinely I feel like I will choose comfortable clothes because it's so comfortable to wear everyday.
✓ Genuinely, I feel like I would choose comfortable clothes because they're so comfortable to wear every day.
The original uses 'will choose' which implies a definite future decision; in context of preference, 'would choose' or present 'I choose' is more natural. Also 'it's' should agree with plural 'clothes' -> 'they're'. 'Everyday' should be 'every day'. Suggestion: Use 'would choose' or 'I choose' for preferences and match verb number with 'clothes'.
× Even going outside, even studying it feels so comfortable and everything.
✓ Even when going outside or studying, it feels so comfortable.
The pronoun usage and sentence structure are awkward: 'even studying it' misplaces 'it'. Restructuring to 'when going outside or studying' clarifies the subjects and removes the extraneous 'and everything'. Suggestion: Use 'when' to introduce activities and avoid redundant phrases.
× Yes, I like to wear T-shirt.
✓ Yes, I like to wear a T-shirt.
A singular countable noun referring to an item of clothing requires an article: 'a T-shirt'. Suggestion: Use 'a' before singular countable nouns like 'T-shirt'.
× I like to wear loose T-shirt because it's so comfortable.
✓ I like to wear loose T-shirts because they're so comfortable.
'Loose' modifies 'T-shirt' correctly but the noun should be plural 'T-shirts' if speaking generally, and pronoun must agree: 'they're'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns for general statements and match pronouns.
× Yes, I choose a lot of time to choose.
✓ Yes, I spend a lot of time choosing clothes.
The original repeats 'choose' and uses 'choose a lot of time' which is ungrammatical. Use the collocation 'spend time doing something' and gerund 'choosing'. Suggestion: Use 'spend a lot of time' + gerund.
× People choose clothes because as a girl I feel like it's take more time to choose clothes because we have to be like beautiful.
✓ People choose clothes, and as a girl I feel like it takes more time because we want to look beautiful.
Problems: 'it's take' is ungrammatical; correct form is 'it takes'. 'We have to be like beautiful' is unnatural; better 'we want to look beautiful'. Also streamline repetition. Suggestion: Use correct verb agreement ('it takes') and natural phrasing ('want to look beautiful').
× We wanted to look beautiful.
✓ We want to look beautiful.
The student shifts to past tense 'wanted' while describing a general present motivation; use present tense 'want'. Suggestion: Use present simple for general truths or habitual desires.
× That's why I feel like I chose a lot of time.
✓ That's why I feel like I spend a lot of time choosing clothes.
'Chose' is past tense and doesn't fit the habitual meaning. Use present 'spend' and gerund 'choosing'. Suggestion: Use present tense for habitual actions and the correct verb pattern 'spend time doing'.
× Yes, I style different clothes on weekends because sometimes you have to even style yourself in a different way to see how you look and I feel like you need to have a confidence in every type of clothes.
✓ Yes, I wear different styles on weekends because sometimes you even have to style yourself in a different way to see how you look, and I feel like you need confidence in every type of clothing.
'Style different clothes' is awkward; 'wear different styles' or 'wear different clothes' is better. 'Have a confidence' is wrong article use; use 'confidence' without 'a'. 'Type of clothes' -> 'type of clothing'. Also simplify sentence flow. Suggestion: Use 'wear different styles', omit unnecessary articles before uncountable nouns, and use 'clothing' for general categories.
× I choose black and I feel like it's more good black because it's not gonna get dirty or anything like that.
✓ I choose black, and I feel like black is better because it doesn't show dirt easily.
'It's more good black' is ungrammatical; use 'black is better'. 'Gonna' is informal; use 'doesn't' and 'show dirt easily' for clarity. Also match subject with predicate correctly. Suggestion: Use comparative 'better', avoid informal 'gonna', and use clear phrasing like 'doesn't show dirt easily'.
