× Well, for clothing, I am more into, uh, cotton type of clothes and I currently I'm into, uh, sports clothing because I started walking and also for, for.
✓ Well, for clothing, I am more into cotton types of clothes and currently I'm into sports clothing because I started walking.
The phrase 'cotton type of clothes' is awkward; 'cotton types of clothes' or simply 'cotton clothes' is more natural. Also 'I currently I'm' has redundant present tense auxiliary; use 'currently I'm' or 'I am currently'. The trailing 'and also for, for' is unfinished and should be removed. Use gerund forms appropriately ('into' + noun) rather than mixing structures. Suggestion: say 'I am more into cotton clothes and currently I'm into sports clothing because I started walking.'
× Well, I prefer wearing comfortable and casual clothes because it makes me comfortable and I.
✓ Well, I prefer wearing comfortable and casual clothes because they make me comfortable.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'and I.' which is incomplete. Also 'clothes' is plural, so the pronoun referring to it should be plural: 'they make me comfortable' not 'it makes me comfortable'. Remove the incomplete fragment and ensure subject-pronoun agreement. Suggestion: 'I prefer wearing comfortable and casual clothes because they make me comfortable.'
× Yeah, I like wearing T-shirts because they are breathable, comfy and, you know, just casual and good for daily. Daily. Yeah.
✓ Yeah, I like wearing T-shirts because they are breathable, comfy and just casual and good for daily wear.
Repeat 'Daily. Daily.' is redundant. 'Good for daily' is incomplete; use the noun 'daily wear' or 'everyday use'. Also remove filler phrase 'you know' for clarity. Maintain parallel adjectives and noun phrase. Suggestion: 'They are breathable, comfy and just casual, good for daily wear.'
× Yeah, I actually spend a lot of time choosing loads because I am always conscious about what I look like, especially when I am going out with my friends, my coworkers and family.
✓ Yeah, I actually spend a lot of time choosing clothes because I am always conscious about how I look, especially when I am going out with my friends, my coworkers and my family.
'Choosing loads' is informal and vague; use 'choosing clothes' or 'choosing outfits'. Also 'what I look like' is acceptable but 'how I look' is more natural here. Add 'my' before 'family' for parallelism. Ensure clearer quantifier and noun use. Suggestion: 'I spend a lot of time choosing clothes because I am conscious about how I look, especially when going out with friends, coworkers and family.'
× Yeah, I wear different styles of clothes on weekdays and weekends. For weekdays, I usually wear casual and comfortable clothes, uh, since I am just at home and for weekends when we go out, we, I, I wear, uh, casual and.
✓ Yeah, I wear different styles of clothes on weekdays and weekends. On weekdays I usually wear casual and comfortable clothes since I am at home, and on weekends when we go out I wear more dressy casual clothes.
The original response contains hesitations and an incomplete ending 'casual and.' Remove filler words and complete the contrast between weekdays and weekends. Use parallel sentence structure: 'On weekdays... and on weekends...'. Clarify what is worn on weekends (e.g., 'more dressy casual clothes'). Suggestion: 'On weekdays I usually wear casual and comfortable clothes, and on weekends when we go out I wear more dressy casual clothes.'
× Well currently I'm into pastel colored clothes like pink, blue, but before I am usually into black clothes only because it makes me look umm thinner.
✓ Well, currently I'm into pastel-coloured clothes like pink and blue, but before I was usually into only black clothes because they made me look thinner.
Tense inconsistency: 'but before I am usually' mixes present and past; use past 'was' for past habits. 'Black clothes only' order is awkward; 'only black clothes' is better. Also 'it makes me look thinner' is wrong because 'clothes' is plural, so use 'they made me look thinner.' Hyphenate 'pastel-coloured' or keep as two words depending on style. Remove filler 'umm'. Suggestion: 'Currently I'm into pastel colours like pink and blue, but before I was usually into only black clothes because they made me look thinner.'
