× there is a very useful features like a bookmark and others
✓ there are very useful features like a bookmark and others
The noun 'features' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is'. Also, 'a' should be removed because it is used with singular nouns. This is a singular and plural issue.
× It's very useful and convenient to me
✓ It's very useful and convenient for me
The correct preposition to express benefit or suitability is 'for' rather than 'to'. This is an incorrect use of prepositions.
× I always read some articles online every morning
✓ I always read articles online every morning
The quantifier 'some' is unnecessary with 'always' and can be omitted for natural expression. This is an incorrect use of quantifiers.
× I have to take a lot of knowledge even abroad, such as the US and the European countries
✓ I have to gain a lot of knowledge even abroad, such as in the US and European countries
The verb 'take' is incorrect with 'knowledge'; 'gain' or 'acquire' is appropriate. Also, 'in' is the correct preposition for countries. 'The' before 'European countries' is unnecessary. This involves incorrect verb choice and preposition use.
× Also, it's my mornings and daily routine
✓ Also, it's part of my morning and daily routine
The phrase 'my mornings' is awkward here; 'part of my morning routine' is more natural. This is an incorrect use of pronouns and phrasing.
× the paper news will be punished in the near future
✓ the paper news will be phased out in the near future
The verb 'punished' is incorrect in this context; 'phased out' or 'discontinued' fits better. This is a misuse of verb meaning and tense.
× the number of our readers has a decrease dramatically in these 10 years
✓ the number of our readers has decreased dramatically in the past 10 years
The verb phrase should be 'has decreased' (present perfect) to indicate change over time. Also, 'in these 10 years' should be 'in the past 10 years'. This is a past tense issue and incorrect preposition use.
× a National Football League and, uh, Major League Baseball
✓ the National Football League and Major League Baseball
When referring to specific leagues, the definite article 'the' is used. This is an incorrect use of articles.
× I was enthusiastic when I was a child about watching such sports
✓ I was enthusiastic about watching such sports when I was a child
The preposition 'about' should directly follow 'enthusiastic'. Also, the sentence order is improved for clarity. This is an incorrect use of prepositions and sentence structure.
× it is a very complicated and time consuming to swipe the screen of a smartphone
✓ it is very complicated and time-consuming to swipe the screen of a smartphone
'Time-consuming' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective. Also, 'a' before 'very complicated' is unnecessary. This is an incorrect use of adjectives and articles.
× I sometimes read a newspaper by paper because it's very easy to read
✓ I sometimes read a paper newspaper because it's very easy to read
The phrase 'by paper' is incorrect; 'paper newspaper' or 'printed newspaper' is correct. This is an incorrect use of prepositions.
