× Yes, personally I like a lot of shopping because shopping is my hobby.
✓ Yes, personally I like shopping a lot because shopping is my hobby.
The phrase 'a lot of shopping' is used incorrectly here as the object of 'like'. Use the verb phrase 'like shopping a lot' to express frequency/intensity. Place 'a lot' after the verb phrase for natural word order.
× Also, there are a lot of things that I had a dream to buy, so that's why shopping is my favorite thing.
✓ Also, there are a lot of things that I have dreamed of buying, so that's why shopping is my favorite activity.
The original uses 'had a dream to buy', which is awkward and mixes tenses. Use the present perfect 'have dreamed' to indicate continuing desire and the gerund 'buying' after 'dream of'. Also 'favorite thing' is better as 'favorite activity' for natural collocation.
× Personally, I do not compare the price while the shopping because from my perspective, the quality matters.
✓ Personally, I do not compare prices while shopping because, from my perspective, quality matters.
Use the plural 'prices' when referring generally to price comparison. 'While shopping' is correct without 'the'. Remove unnecessary articles before uncountable noun 'quality'. Add commas for clarity.
× The price does not matter uh, the quality of the item was, if so good, so the price would do not matter.
✓ The price does not matter; if the quality of the item is good, the price does not matter.
Tense was inconsistent ('was' and 'would do not matter') and word order incorrect. Use present tense 'is' to match general truth and simple negative 'does not matter'. Use a clear conditional structure: 'if... is..., ... does not matter.'
× What is the price? So that's why uh for me uh while shopping uh compare the price was not so good.
✓ What is the price? For me, comparing prices while shopping is not so important.
Sentence was ungrammatical and awkward. Use the gerund 'comparing prices' as the subject and 'is not so important' to express opinion. Remove filler 'uh' and reorder for clarity.
× Oh of course it is very difficult for me while shopping to choose different things because there are a lot of things that I have in my mind to buy.
✓ Oh, of course it is very difficult for me to choose different things while shopping because there are a lot of items I want to buy.
Maintain present simple tense and natural word order: 'to choose different things while shopping' and prefer 'items I want to buy' instead of 'things that I have in my mind to buy' which is verbose and awkward.
× But while shopping I'm confused in the items.
✓ But while shopping I'm confused about the items.
The correct preposition with 'confused' is 'about', not 'in'.
× Also while I'm shopping the clothes there are lot of different varieties of clothes so I'm confusing in that.
✓ Also, when I'm shopping for clothes there are a lot of different varieties, so I get confused.
Use 'when' or 'while' with a clear clause 'shopping for clothes'. 'A lot of' requires 'a'. 'I'm confusing' is wrong; use 'I get confused' to express the passive experience. Remove repeated 'clothes' and use 'varieties' or 'styles'.
× From my perspective, yes, the expensive products are rollers better than the cheaper one because if the price of the product was high, it's meant the quality of product was also so good.
✓ From my perspective, yes, expensive products are generally better than cheaper ones because if the price of a product is high, it often means the product's quality is also good.
Use plural 'products' and 'ones' to make a general comparison. Remove unclear word 'rollers' and replace with 'generally'. Use present simple 'is' for general statements and 'often means' instead of 'it's meant'. Use possession 'product's quality' or 'the product's quality'.
× Moreover, it's also depend on the product, it's not all the mean that expensive product have the high quality.
✓ Moreover, it also depends on the product; it does not always mean that an expensive product has high quality.
Use correct verb agreement 'depends' (it depends). 'It's not all the mean' is ungrammatical; use 'it does not always mean'. Use singular agreement 'an expensive product has' or plural 'expensive products have', and omit unnecessary articles like 'the'.
