× Yes, I often use headphones to listening to some English music or English videos.
✓ Yes, I often use headphones to listen to English music or English videos.
After 'to' (infinitive marker) the base verb should be used, not the -ing form. Use 'to listen' instead of 'to listening'. Suggestion: Use the infinitive after 'to' (e.g., 'to listen', 'to watch').
× It helped me escape from the real life and make me enjoy in the unrealistic world.
✓ They help me escape from real life and make me enjoy the unrealistic world.
The student mixed past tense 'helped' with present context 'I often use headphones'. Use present tense 'help' and plural subject 'they' for headphones. Also use 'enjoy' without 'make me enjoy in' and drop 'the' before 'real life' if speaking generally. Suggestion: Keep tenses consistent with the habitual present and use natural collocations: 'help me escape from real life' and 'make me enjoy the unreal world'.
× So it will help me feel relaxed not always thinking about the stress in real life.
✓ So they help me feel relaxed and not always think about the stress of real life.
Use 'and' to connect clauses; after 'help' use the base verb 'think' not '-ing'. Use 'stress of real life' or 'the stresses of real life' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: Use 'help + base verb' and proper connectors: 'help me feel relaxed and not always think about the stresses of real life'.
× I use the small headphones that I need to put into my ears, uh, made by iPhone companies.
✓ I use small in-ear headphones made by Apple.
Use 'small' without article for general statement and 'in-ear' is the correct adjective. 'iPhone companies' is incorrect; use 'Apple' or 'Apple Inc.' Also word order: 'headphones made by Apple.' Suggestion: Use concise, natural noun phrases: 'small in-ear headphones made by Apple'.
× It was really useful 'cause it's really convenient to take out and when I didn't need to use them, I will just put into the box and they will charge abandoned service.
✓ They are really useful because they are convenient to take out, and when I don't need to use them, I just put them in the case and they charge automatically.
Tenses should be present for habitual actions ('are', 'don't need', 'just put'). Use 'put them in the case' not 'put into the box'. 'Charge automatically' is the correct phrase; 'charge abandoned service' is incorrect. Suggestion: Keep present tense for habitual actions and use standard collocations: 'put them in the case' and 'they charge automatically'.
× Uh, it helped me a lot when I need to listening to some music or need to have.
✓ It helps me a lot when I need to listen to some music or when I need a break.
Use present tense 'helps' for habitual situations. After 'need to' use base verb 'listen', not '-ing'. The original ends abruptly; 'need to have' should be completed with a noun like 'a break'. Suggestion: Complete the idea and use correct infinitive form: 'need to listen' and 'need a break'.
× Actually I use headphones when I was outside, especially in public areas 'cause I will use them not too disturbing others.
✓ Actually I use headphones when I am outside, especially in public areas, because I use them so as not to disturb others.
Match tense to habitual present: 'am' not 'was'. Use 'so as not to disturb others' or 'to avoid disturbing others' for correct structure. 'Not too disturbing others' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: Use present tense and the infinitive purpose structure: 'to avoid disturbing others'.
× Like when I wanted to listening to some English songs or I wanted to watch some English radios so I would use them or if I was at home I wanted to watch some TV series.
✓ For example, when I want to listen to English songs or listen to English radio, I use them; if I am at home I might watch TV series.
Use present tense for habitual actions: 'want' not 'wanted'. After 'want to' use base verb 'listen'. 'Watch radio' is incorrect; we 'listen to radio'. Use consistent modality: 'might' or 'would' for habitual past, but here present 'might'. Suggestion: Use correct verbs with 'listen to' and keep present tense for habits.
× When I was having my class, I would not use my headphones because it would shows unrespect to my professor.
✓ When I am in class, I do not use my headphones because it would show disrespect to my professor.
Use present tense 'am' for habitual context. 'Shows' should be base form 'show' after modal 'would'. 'Unrespect' is not a word; use 'disrespect'. Suggestion: Use correct nouns and verb forms: 'show disrespect' and present tense for habitual routines.
× And if I was having a lunch or dinner with my family, I will not use it 'cause there's many people here, we need to talk with them.
✓ If I am having lunch or dinner with my family, I will not use them because there are many people and we need to talk to each other.
Use 'am' for present/future arrangements. 'Headphones' is plural so use 'them'. 'There's many people' should be 'there are many people'. 'Talk with them' is acceptable but 'talk to each other' is clearer. Suggestion: Match pronoun number and use 'there are' for plural subjects.
× Not to use your headphone listening music that will not really polite.
✓ Not using your headphones to listen to music during meals is not polite.
Original sentence is ungrammatical and awkward. Rephrase to a clear negative statement: 'Not using your headphones to listen to music during meals is not polite' or 'It is not polite to use your headphones to listen to music during meals.' Suggestion: Use full clause with subject and verb or an infinitive construction for clarity.
× Actually, actually if I wearing headphones for a long time, it's not really comfortable for me 'cause my ear will few times and long day using the earphones, the ones can't go out.
✓ Actually, if I wear headphones for a long time, they are not really comfortable for me because my ears become sore after long use and the earphones can get stuck.
After 'if' use the base verb 'wear' not 'wearing' for real conditional. Use plural 'ears' and correct verbs: 'become sore' or 'hurt'. Clarify 'the ones can't go out' as 'earphones can get stuck'. Suggestion: Use correct conditional structure 'if I wear...' and natural descriptions like 'my ears become sore'.
× So when especially when you turn on the South lounge, it will hurt your ears and not good for your listening.
✓ Especially when you turn up the volume, it will hurt your ears and is not good for your hearing.
'South lounge' seems incorrect; likely meant 'turn up the sound' or 'volume'. Use 'turn up the volume'. 'Not good for your listening' should be 'not good for your hearing'. Suggestion: Use correct collocations: 'turn up the volume' and 'not good for your hearing'.
