× As news is really interested so I usually read a news at least to once a week when my families.
✓ Because news is really interesting, I usually read the news at least once a week with my family.
The adjective 'interested' is incorrect; 'interesting' describes something that interests you. 'a news' is wrong because 'news' is uncountable and takes no article; use 'the news'. 'to once a week' has incorrect word order; say 'once a week'. 'when my families' is incorrect: use 'with my family' to indicate togetherness.
× It gives a lots of umm information for me.
✓ It gives a lot of useful information for me.
'a lots of' is incorrect; the correct form is 'a lot of' or 'lots of'. 'information' is uncountable so use 'a lot of information'. Adding an adjective like 'useful' clarifies meaning.
× Jolly lead a newspaper with paper at least once a week and warm.
✓ I usually read a paper or an online newspaper at least once a week, depending on the weather.
The original sentence has confused word order and unclear vocabulary ('Jolly lead', 'and warm'). I restructured it to a clear subject-verb-object pattern and provided plausible meaning: 'read a paper or an online newspaper' and 'depending on the weather' if 'warm' referred to conditions. If 'warm' was not intended, remove that clause.
× I usually read umm social network can use uh. Read umm every day.
✓ I usually use social networks and read news on them every day.
Pronoun and clause structure were incorrect. 'social network can use' is ungrammatical. The corrected sentence uses 'use social networks' and clarifies that news is read on them 'every day'.
× That is because I I don't interested in writing a news or something.
✓ That is because I am not interested in writing news or similar things.
Use the adjectival 'interested' with the verb 'to be' ('am not interested'). 'a news' is incorrect because 'news' is uncountable; remove the article. 'or something' is vague; 'or similar things' is clearer.
× I just really enjoy my major more deeply so I don't uh.
✓ I just really enjoy my major more, so I don't want to be a journalist.
Original sentence is incomplete and uses 'so I don't uh' which is a fragment. Specify the intended action: 'so I don't want to be a journalist.' This completes the thought and fits the context.
× Really, that is because I. Don't describe a paper news and in the morning I really busy for my prepare umm others like.
✓ No, because I don't read printed newspapers, and in the morning I am usually very busy preparing for other things.
The original is fragmented and has incorrect verbs and articles. 'describe a paper news' is meaningless; likely meant 'read paper news'. Use 'I am usually very busy preparing for other things' for grammatical correctness and clarity.
× As I usually talk about news at least once a week, when my best friend Johnny, for example, recently we talked about exchange of pound.
✓ I usually talk about the news at least once a week with my best friend Johnny; for example, recently we talked about the exchange rate of the pound.
The sentence had incorrect conjunction and clause punctuation. 'As' at the start and 'when my best friend' created a fragment. Also 'exchange of pound' is ungrammatical; use 'exchange rate of the pound' or 'pound exchange rate'. I rejoined clauses correctly using a semicolon and clarified the noun phrase.
