× I often visit a website to garner information and the other one is for entertainment.
✓ I often visit one website to get information and another for entertainment.
Use singular/plural consistently: 'a website' and 'the other one' is awkward. Use 'one' and 'another' to contrast two categories. Also 'garner' is formal; 'get' is more natural.
× I use Google to search up the latest news and affairs and for entertainment I usually use and visit YouTube to watch different YouTube videos.
✓ I use Google to search for the latest news and current affairs, and for entertainment I usually visit YouTube to watch different videos.
Use correct verb patterns: 'search for' not 'search up' in this context. Remove redundant 'use and visit' and redundant 'YouTube' after 'videos'. 'Current affairs' is more natural than 'affairs'.
× My all time favorite website is YouTube.
✓ My all-time favorite website is YouTube.
Add hyphen for the compound adjective 'all-time' before a noun. This is punctuation/style rather than article, but corrects the phrase.
× There's always a lot of things that you can do in YouTube.
✓ There are always a lot of things you can do on YouTube.
'There are' agrees with plural 'things' (not 'There's'). Use preposition 'on' with websites and omit unnecessary 'that'.
× You can watch vlogs or tutorials too. When I want to relax.
✓ You can watch vlogs or tutorials too when I want to relax. -> You can watch vlogs or tutorials when you want to relax.
Original ends with a fragment 'When I want to relax.' It should be integrated into the previous sentence and maintain pronoun consistency: use 'you' to match general statements.
× Yes, I've noticed that YouTube has changed its interface throughout the year.
✓ Yes, I've noticed that YouTube has changed its interface over the past year.
'Throughout the year' suggests continuous change during a specific year; 'over the past year' is clearer for changes that occurred during the previous year. Present perfect 'I've noticed' with 'has changed' is acceptable.
× It's a lot cleaner now and a lot of new features are added, and overall it's visually appealing.
✓ It's much cleaner now, many new features have been added, and overall it's visually appealing.
Use 'have been added' (present perfect passive) for recent additions. 'A lot of' repeated is informal; 'many' and 'much' improve register and clarity.
× Nowadays, Tiktok has been popping off.
✓ Nowadays, TikTok is becoming very popular.
'Popping off' is informal/slang; use 'is becoming very popular' to match general present-tense trend. Also capitalize 'TikTok'.
× Ever since COVID started, Tiktok has been rising to become the dominant social media.
✓ Ever since COVID started, TikTok has been rising to become the dominant social media platform.
Add 'platform' for clarity. 'Has been rising to become' is wordy but acceptable; keep present perfect continuous to show ongoing trend.
× A lot of people are using it for entertainment, doing videos, and creators have been utilizing it to sell some products.
✓ A lot of people use it for entertainment and to make videos, and creators have been using it to sell products.
Use 'use' for habitual actions. 'Make videos' is more natural than 'doing videos.' 'Utilizing' is formal; 'using' is simpler. Omit 'some' before 'products' for naturalness.
× For me it's a fast way to learn something and for example when I use Google and I search for something, the answers usually appear in my screen for a second and I think it's very convenient and.
✓ For me it's a fast way to learn; for example, when I search on Google, the answers usually appear on my screen in a second, so I think it's very convenient.
Original has run-on sentence and redundancy. Use 'search on Google' not 'use Google and I search.' Use preposition 'on my screen' and finish the thought; replace 'and' at end with a full clause.
× For now, no I don't have something to sell, but in the future if I have a business going on, I would definitely want to create my own website to engage and promote the products I'm selling.
✓ For now, no, I don't have anything to sell, but in the future if I start a business, I would definitely want to create my own website to promote the products I sell.
Use 'anything' not 'something' in negative sentences. 'Start a business' is more natural than 'have a business going on.' Use simple present 'I sell' for general statement and remove redundant 'engage and'.
× During my college days, I have watched tons of educational videos on YouTube because it helped me understand the more complex concepts.
✓ During my college days, I watched tons of educational videos on YouTube because they helped me understand more complex concepts.
Use past simple 'watched' and 'helped' for actions completed in the past ('during my college days'). Use plural pronoun 'they' to refer to 'videos' and drop 'the' before 'more complex concepts'.
× For example, I've watched I remembered I watched a video about heart attack and how it happened.
✓ For example, I remember watching a video about heart attacks and how they happen.
Remove repetition and use present simple for general explanation 'how they happen' or past 'how it happened' depending on intended meaning. Use plural 'heart attacks' and pronoun 'they' to refer back. 'I remember watching' is natural phrasing.
