Suggestion: use appropriate articles before singular countable nouns, use present perfect progressive for recent repeated actions, ensure subject-verb agreement, and choose precise nouns for clarity.

Suggestion: remove filler words, use correct infinitive after 'want', maintain consistent tense for habitual actions, and simplify phrasing.
