× Oh well, I I'd like to visit the YouTube.
✓ Oh well, I'd like to visit YouTube.
We do not use the definite article 'the' before proper names of websites. Say 'YouTube' without 'the'. Remove redundant 'I' as well. Suggestion: Use 'I'd like to visit YouTube.'
× It is a great video website.
✓ It is a great video website.
Sentence is acceptable but keep 'a' because 'video website' is a countable noun used generally. No change required; included for completeness.
× I I spend about at least half an hour every day, every single day to watch the, uh video on it.
✓ I spend at least half an hour every day watching videos on it.
Use the present simple 'I spend' for habitual action and the gerund 'watching' after phrases like 'spend... doing'. Remove redundant words ('about', duplicate 'every day') and use plural 'videos' for general content. Suggestion: 'I spend at least half an hour every day watching videos on it.'
× I like to watch the topic of the history, uh, the, the most, I think.
✓ I like to watch history topics the most, I think.
Do not use 'the' before 'history' when speaking generally. Use plural 'topics' to indicate different videos. Reorder to 'watch X the most'. Suggestion: 'I like to watch history topics the most.'
× Well, my favorite website is YouTube, a video website.
✓ Well, my favorite website is YouTube, a video website.
This sentence is correct as written; 'a' is appropriate to describe the type of website. No grammatical change needed.
× I spend at least one hour every single day to watch the history videos on it.
✓ I spend at least one hour every day watching history videos on it.
After 'spend' use a gerund ('watching') not an infinitive ('to watch'). Remove redundant 'every single day' and use plural 'history videos'. Suggestion: 'I spend at least one hour every day watching history videos on it.'
× There are so many excellent YouTube.
✓ There are so many excellent YouTube channels.
'YouTube' alone is the platform name; to refer to creators or channels, use 'YouTube channels'. Also use plural form with 'many'. Suggestion: 'There are so many excellent YouTube channels.'
× They create nice historical videos on it.
✓ They create nice historical videos on it.
This sentence is acceptable; 'on it' (meaning on YouTube) is understandable. For clarity, you could say 'on YouTube'. No grammatical change required.
× No, YouTube always looks as usual.
✓ No, YouTube always looks the same as usual.
Use the expression 'the same as usual' rather than 'looks as usual'. 'The same' is the correct fixed phrase. Suggestion: 'YouTube always looks the same as usual.'
× It it didn't change much compared with two years ago.
✓ It hasn't changed much compared with two years ago.
When comparing past period to now, use present perfect ('hasn't changed') to show a situation continuing to the present. Remove duplicate 'it'. Suggestion: 'It hasn't changed much compared with two years ago.'
× I I think everything just like 2 years ago everything looks nice.
✓ I think everything looks about the same as two years ago.
Original has repetition and incorrect word order. Use 'looks about the same as' to compare present and past. Write out 'two' in formal speech. Suggestion: 'I think everything looks about the same as two years ago.'
× They don't. I don't think they need to change anymore.
✓ I don't think they need to change anymore.
Remove the fragment 'They don't.' which is incomplete. The corrected sentence expresses the intended idea clearly. Suggestion: 'I don't think they need to change anymore.'
× Well I think in my country the most popular website is Tiktok is a Chinese version, a short video website.
✓ Well, I think in my country the most popular app is TikTok, a Chinese short-video app.
Do not repeat 'is'. 'TikTok' is better described as an app rather than 'website'. Use hyphenated 'short-video' as an adjective. Capitalize 'TikTok'. Suggestion: 'The most popular app is TikTok, a Chinese short-video app.'
× And people like us, like our youth like to spare not our spare time to scrolling video on it is very nice.
✓ Young people like us like to spend our spare time scrolling through videos on it; it's very popular.
Multiple issues: use 'young people' or 'youth', 'spend' not 'spare', correct word order 'spend our spare time', use 'scrolling through videos' (gerund), and split into two clauses for clarity. Suggestion: 'Young people like us spend our spare time scrolling through videos on it; it's very popular.'
× I'd like to get info on the website.
✓ I'd like to get information from websites.
Use 'from' rather than 'on' for sources, plural 'websites' for generalization, and avoid 'info' in formal speech ('information'). Suggestion: 'I'd like to get information from websites.'
× Compared with reading a book, getting information from the website spends, uh, spend little time.
✓ Compared with reading a book, getting information from websites takes less time.
Use 'takes' or 'requires' with 'time' rather than 'spend'; use plural 'websites'; 'less time' is correct comparative. Suggestion: 'Getting information from websites takes less time than reading a book.'
× I think spend less time uh, than reading a book, umm, And uh, it's much more convenient to get information.
✓ I think it takes less time than reading a book, and it's much more convenient to get information.
Include subject 'it' with 'takes', avoid fragmentary speech. Use 'and' to connect clauses. Maintain present simple for general truths. Suggestion: 'I think it takes less time than reading a book, and it's much more convenient.'
× Yes, I'd like to, but I haven't made my mind yet to make a decision about the usage of my website.
✓ Yes, I'd like to, but I haven't made up my mind yet about how I would use my website.
Use the fixed phrase 'made up my mind', not 'made my mind'. 'About how I would use my website' is clearer than 'usage of my website.' Suggestion: 'I haven't made up my mind yet about how I would use my website.'
× Uh, I'd like to sell some, umm, crafts on it. A hand handmade crafts on it.
✓ I'd like to sell some handmade crafts on it.
Combine fragments into one clear sentence. Use 'handmade crafts' (adjective 'handmade' before the noun). Remove redundant words. Suggestion: 'I'd like to sell some handmade crafts on it.'
