Examiner
Do you make a list when you shop?
Candidate
Yeah, sometime, like when I'm go to the grocery, help my mother, I always have to list what I want to buy. That is the way that can help me to reduce the percentage of buying some unnecessary things when shopping.
Examiner
Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
Candidate
Yes, when I'm doing something, especially studying, I always have to list down what I'm going to do so I can look forward to do without having any challenges and barriers when I'm doing homeworks, especially in some examination week.
Examiner
Why don't some people like making lists?
Candidate
I think that they already organized all the information in their head, so making list is do not is does not umm essential for them. So maybe they can use something much more useful and instead of just making a list. It's really time consuming sometimes.
Examiner
Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
Candidate
Absolutely my phone because when I go out my smartphone, one of the things that I always bring up first. So if I want to make a list, like when shopping or doing something actually open though app notes to list out of the thing I want to do, it's much more convenient than bring a pen and a paper.

× Yeah, sometime, like when I'm go to the grocery, help my mother, I always have to list what I want to buy.
✓ Yeah, sometimes, like when I go to the grocery store to help my mother, I always have to list what I want to buy.
The word 'sometime' should be 'sometimes' to indicate frequency (plural). 'I'm go' is incorrect; it should be 'I go' because 'go' is the base form after 'I'. Also, 'grocery' should be 'grocery store' to be grammatically correct and clear.
× That is the way that can help me to reduce the percentage of buying some unnecessary things when shopping.
✓ That is the way that can help me reduce the number of unnecessary things I buy when shopping.
The phrase 'reduce the percentage of buying' is awkward. It is better to say 'reduce the number of unnecessary things I buy'. Also, 'percentage' is not appropriate here; 'number' fits better for countable items.
× Yes, when I'm doing something, especially studying, I always have to list down what I'm going to do so I can look forward to do without having any challenges and barriers when I'm doing homeworks, especially in some examination week.
✓ Yes, when I'm doing something, especially studying, I always have to list down what I'm going to do so I can look forward to doing it without having any challenges or barriers when I'm doing homework, especially during exam weeks.
The phrase 'look forward to do' is incorrect; after 'look forward to' we use the '-ing' form, so 'doing' is correct. 'Homeworks' is uncountable and should be 'homework'. 'In some examination week' should be 'during exam weeks' for natural expression.
× I think that they already organized all the information in their head, so making list is do not is does not umm essential for them.
✓ I think that they have already organized all the information in their heads, so making a list is not essential for them.
'Organized' should be present perfect 'have organized' to indicate completed action relevant to now. 'Their head' should be plural 'their heads' because 'they' is plural. The phrase 'making list is do not is does not umm essential' is incorrect and should be 'making a list is not essential'.
× So maybe they can use something much more useful and instead of just making a list.
✓ So maybe they can use something much more useful instead of just making a list.
The conjunction 'and' is incorrectly used before 'instead of'. 'Instead of' should directly connect the alternatives without 'and'.
× It's really time consuming sometimes.
✓ It's really time-consuming sometimes.
'Time consuming' should be hyphenated as 'time-consuming' when used as an adjective before a noun or as a predicate adjective.
× Absolutely my phone because when I go out my smartphone, one of the things that I always bring up first.
✓ Absolutely my phone because when I go out, my smartphone is one of the things that I always bring with me first.
The phrase 'when I go out my smartphone' is missing a comma and verb; it should be 'when I go out, my smartphone is...'. 'Bring up' is incorrect here; the correct phrase is 'bring with me'.
× So if I want to make a list, like when shopping or doing something actually open though app notes to list out of the thing I want to do, it's much more convenient than bring a pen and a paper.
✓ So if I want to make a list, like when shopping or doing something, I actually open the Notes app to list out the things I want to do. It's much more convenient than bringing a pen and paper.
The sentence is missing subjects and has incorrect prepositions. 'Open though app notes' should be 'open the Notes app'. 'List out of the thing' should be 'list out the things'. 'Than bring a pen and a paper' should be 'than bringing a pen and paper'. Also, 'a paper' is incorrect; 'paper' is uncountable here.
