× Definitely, I feel tired when I do hard work, especially when I do my household chores without helpers.
✓ I definitely feel tired when I do hard work, especially when I do my household chores without helpers.
Sentence needs natural adverb placement: place 'definitely' before the verb 'feel'. This is a word order issue within present simple tense. Improve by placing adverbs (definitely) before the main verb to sound natural.
× And I usually do not work uh at home because, uh, I am a professional lady.
✓ I usually do not work at home because I am a professional woman.
Use a complete sentence without conjunction 'And' at the start and avoid filler 'uh'. 'Lady' is less natural in this context; use 'woman'. This fixes sentence structure and word choice to match the formal context.
× I go to my clinic but.
✓ I go to my clinic.
The original ends with an incomplete conjunction 'but' creating a sentence fragment. Remove 'but' to form a complete sentence.
× Sometime I feel very tired after doing my household chores which is physically demanding.
✓ Sometimes I feel very tired after doing my household chores, which are physically demanding.
Use 'Sometimes' (adverb) and plural verb agreement: 'chores' is plural so the relative clause needs 'are' not 'is'. Also add a comma before the non-restrictive clause.
× I am a professional lady, I go to my clinic on the daily basis and when I came back home and do my household job which is exhausted for me and at the end of the day I just lay down on my bed and.
✓ I am a professional woman; I go to my clinic daily, and when I come back home and do my household jobs, which are exhausting for me, at the end of the day I just lie down on my bed.
Multiple issues: use 'come' (present simple) to match habitual action rather than 'came' (past). 'Household job' should be plural 'household jobs'. Use adjective 'exhausting' not 'exhausted'. Verb 'lie down' (present) is correct form 'lie', not 'lay' (which is past or transitive). Punctuation improvements clarify clauses.
× My favorite thing is gardening.
✓ My favorite activity is gardening.
This sentence is acceptable, but 'activity' is a more natural noun here. 'Gardening' as a gerund is correct; suggestion improves register.
× When I feel very tired and exhausted after hectic routine, I go out to my own household garden which is in front of my house.
✓ When I feel very tired and exhausted after a hectic routine, I go out to my small garden in front of my house.
Add the article 'a' before 'hectic routine' and simplify wording: 'own household garden' is redundant; 'small garden' or 'garden' is clearer. This fixes article use and improves natural phrasing.
× I spend time with the take care of my plants and flowers which give me relaxation and boost of my energy.
✓ I spend time taking care of my plants and flowers, which relax me and boost my energy.
Incorrect phrase 'spend time with the take care of' should be 'spend time taking care of'. Use gerund after 'spend time'. Also 'give me relaxation' is unnatural; use 'relax me' and 'boost my energy'.
× To be honest, no. When you feel very tired and exhausted.
✓ To be honest, no. When I feel very tired and exhausted, I prefer to stay at home in my own room.
Original uses 'you' and a sentence fragment. Replace 'you' with 'I' to match speaker perspective and complete the sentence with the main clause. This fixes pronoun use and sentence completeness.
× I just want to stay at my home in my own room.
✓ I just want to stay at home in my room.
Native speakers say 'stay at home' not 'stay at my home'. 'My own room' is redundant; 'my room' is natural.
× I just off my lights and on my cozy lamps which give me relaxation.
✓ I just turn off my lights and turn on my cozy lamps, which relax me.
Use correct verbs 'turn off' and 'turn on' for lights. 'Give me relaxation' is unnatural; use 'relax me'. Also add comma before the relative clause.
× I just lay it down on my bed and scrolling my phone sometime and mostly I just sleep.
✓ I just lie down on my bed and scroll my phone sometimes, and mostly I just sleep.
Use 'lie down' (intransitive) not 'lay down' or 'lay it down'. Use base verb 'scroll' after coordinating verb; add adverb 'sometimes' and correct word order. This fixes verb choice and adverb placement.
