× I usually wear a watch when I go to school to see the time so that I can arrange my schedule like more carefully and also help me to recognize about my time.
✓ I usually wear a watch when I go to school to see the time so that I can arrange my schedule more carefully and it also helps me keep track of my time.
Cần dùng cấu trúc song song và động từ phù hợp: 'arrange my schedule more carefully' không cần 'like' và phải dùng 'it also helps me' (động từ theo chủ ngữ it) thay vì 'also help me to recognize about my time'. 'recognize about my time' là không tự nhiên; dùng 'keep track of my time'. Suggestions: loại bỏ 'like' trước trạng từ, dùng 'it also helps me' và 'keep track of my time'.
× Umm, yes I did. When I was a secondary student my father gave a castle watch for me is quite beautiful, made of glass and and platinum and it helped me to like, uh, schedule my plan easily.
✓ Umm, yes I did. When I was a secondary student my father gave me a watch that was quite beautiful, made of glass and platinum, and it helped me schedule my plans easily.
Sai cấu trúc bổ nghĩa cho danh từ: phải dùng 'gave me a watch' không 'gave a castle watch for me'. 'that was quite beautiful' bổ nghĩa cho 'watch'. Bỏ từ thừa 'and and' và bỏ 'to like, uh,'. Dùng 'helped me schedule my plans' (bare infinitive) thay vì 'helped me to like, uh, schedule my plan easily'. Suggestions: dùng 'gave me a watch', nối mệnh đề bằng 'that was', dùng bare infinitive sau 'help'.
× Wow, I think that people were exorbitant like watches so that they can show off, especially when they are a businessman, so that they can show to their like partner that they are wealthy so that they are not scammers and they can like gain benefits with them.
✓ Wow, I think some people like expensive watches to show off, especially businessmen, so they can show their partners they are wealthy and gain benefits from them.
Có nhiều lỗi: 'were exorbitant like watches' sai; cần 'like expensive watches' hoặc 'prefer expensive watches'. 'a businessman' không đồng nhất số với 'people'; dùng 'businessmen'. 'show to their like partner' sai trật tự từ; dùng 'show their partners'. 'not scammers' is unnecessary and unclear; simplified. Giữ câu cô đọng và đúng ngữ pháp. Suggestions: dùng 'some people like expensive watches', số nhiều cho nghề nghiệp 'businessmen', và cấu trúc trực tiếp 'show their partners'.
× To be honest, I think that is not important to wear watch because nowadays every people use their own mobile phones, especially the smartphone like Apple or Samsung. They also like contain the watch to see an error.
✓ To be honest, I don't think it is important to wear a watch because nowadays everyone uses their mobile phones, especially smartphones like Apple or Samsung. They also have a clock/watch function to check the time.
Lỗi thì và số: 'I think that is not important to wear watch' cần 'I don't think it is important to wear a watch'. 'every people' sai; dùng 'everyone'. Sau chủ ngữ số ít 'everyone' động từ phải chia 'uses'. 'the smartphone like' sai; dùng 'smartphones like'. 'They also like contain the watch to see an error' không rõ nghĩa; sửa thành 'They also have a clock/watch function to check the time'. Suggestions: dùng phủ định đúng với 'think' ('I don't think'), dùng 'a watch', 'everyone uses', và diễn đạt rõ 'have a clock function'.
