× I tend to snacks umm during a study breaks to recharge my energy.
✓ I tend to snack umm during study breaks to recharge my energy.
The phrase 'tend to snacks' is incorrect because 'tend to' should be followed by the base form of the verb, which is 'snack' here. Also, 'a study breaks' is incorrect because 'breaks' is plural and should not have the singular article 'a'. It should be 'study breaks'.
× Snacking helps me stay focused and productive and so I keep a variety of snacks and when I don't have anything I usually use gums.
✓ Snacking helps me stay focused and productive, so I keep a variety of snacks, and when I don't have anything, I usually use gum.
The word 'gums' is incorrect here; 'gum' is an uncountable noun when referring to chewing gum. Also, the sentence needs commas for clarity. 'Gum' should be singular and uncountable in this context.
× I think eating snacks can be healthy if you choose, umm, good options like fruits and nuts.
✓ I think eating snacks can be healthy if you choose, umm, good options such as fruits and nuts.
The phrase 'like fruits and nuts' is informal and can be ambiguous. Using 'such as' is more appropriate when giving examples in formal or semi-formal speech.
× Uh, the specs on not only provide essential vitamins but also help control your appetite and avoid to overeating.
✓ Uh, the snacks not only provide essential vitamins but also help control your appetite and avoid overeating.
'Specs on' is incorrect; the intended word is 'snacks'. Also, 'avoid to overeating' is incorrect; the correct form is 'avoid overeating' without 'to'.
× Snacks. When you were young, I didn't eat snacks often.
✓ When I was young, I didn't eat snacks often.
The sentence starts with 'Snacks.' which is a fragment and unnecessary. Also, 'When you were young' should be 'When I was young' to match the speaker's perspective.
× So a snack rent a regular part of my diet and I consider it eating that on a special occasion.
✓ So snacks weren't a regular part of my diet, and I considered eating them only on special occasions.
'Snack rent' is a typo for 'snacks weren't'. Also, 'consider it eating that' is incorrect; it should be 'considered eating them'. The plural 'snacks' and 'them' are appropriate here. 'On a special occasion' should be plural 'on special occasions' to indicate frequency.
× I have a sweetheart and so I really enjoy eating sweets like candies and biscuits.
✓ I have a sweet tooth, so I really enjoy eating sweets like candies and biscuits.
'I have a sweetheart' is incorrect in this context; the correct idiom is 'I have a sweet tooth' meaning a liking for sweets.
× Uh, for instance, I often have them as a literature, uh, during the afternoon when I need a quick energy boost that helps me, uh, feel more refreshed and ready to continue with my study.
✓ Uh, for instance, I often have them as a little treat during the afternoon when I need a quick energy boost that helps me feel more refreshed and ready to continue with my studies.
'As a literature' is incorrect; the intended phrase is likely 'as a little treat'. Also, 'continue with my study' should be 'continue with my studies' to indicate ongoing learning activities.
