When did you start using the internet?

I've started using the Internet since I was 89. I was at elementary school at that time and I had a tablet so that I all kind of often use that for playing mostly, but sometimes for social media, using or chatting with my friends or sometimes video calls even.
Examiner
How often do you go online?
Candidate
Actually, these days we can say that people are kind of addicted to the Internet and social media, so they're always available. So unless I had something to do and I'm busy or I'm somewhere with no Internet, umm, in these cases I don't use it. But other times I always use the Internet and I'm available always.
Examiner
Can you remember a time you weren’t allowed to use the internet?
Candidate
You know, sometimes when you are on vacation, you don't have the number of that country, so you don't have Internet in the streets or other public areas. So in this case you can't use Internet. But when you're at hotel or some even malls that have free Wi-Fi, you can access to the Internet again. But yeah, I can say at this moment they will only the time that I don't.
Examiner

× I've started using the Internet since I was 89.
✓ I started using the Internet when I was 8.
The present perfect tense 'I've started' is incorrect with the time expression 'since I was 89'. Also, '89' is likely a typo for '8'. The simple past tense 'I started' is appropriate to indicate a specific time in the past when the action began.
× I all kind of often use that for playing mostly, but sometimes for social media, using or chatting with my friends or sometimes video calls even.
✓ I often use it mostly for playing, but sometimes for social media, chatting with my friends, or even video calls.
The phrase 'I all kind of often use that' is incorrect. 'All kinds of' is plural and does not fit here. Also, 'that' should be 'it' referring to the tablet. The sentence is restructured for clarity and correct plural usage.
× So unless I had something to do and I'm busy or I'm somewhere with no Internet, umm, in these cases I don't use it.
✓ So unless I have something to do and I'm busy or I'm somewhere with no Internet, in these cases I don't use it.
The modal verb phrase 'unless I had' is incorrect because it mixes past tense 'had' with present context. It should be 'unless I have' to match the present tense context.
× But other times I always use the Internet and I'm available always.
✓ But other times I always use the Internet and I am always available.
The adverb 'always' is better placed before the verb 'available' for natural English word order.
× You know, sometimes when you are on vacation, you don't have the number of that country, so you don't have Internet in the streets or other public areas.
✓ You know, sometimes when you are on vacation, you don't have a number from that country, so you don't have Internet on the streets or other public areas.
The phrase 'the number of that country' is unclear; 'a number from that country' is more appropriate. Also, 'Internet in the streets' should be 'Internet on the streets' because 'on' is the correct preposition for locations like streets.
× So in this case you can't use Internet.
✓ So in this case you can't use the Internet.
The noun 'Internet' usually requires the definite article 'the' when referring to the global network.
× But when you're at hotel or some even malls that have free Wi-Fi, you can access to the Internet again.
✓ But when you're at a hotel or even some malls that have free Wi-Fi, you can access the Internet again.
The phrase 'at hotel' needs the indefinite article 'a'. Also, 'access to the Internet' is incorrect; the verb 'access' does not require the preposition 'to'.
× But yeah, I can say at this moment they will only the time that I don't.
✓ But yeah, I can say that at this moment, that is the only time I don't use it.
The original sentence is incomplete and unclear. It lacks a verb and proper structure. The correction provides a complete and clear sentence.
× Yes, as I said I'm kinda addicted to Internet, I prefer to use less and spend time for myself or some routines so some skin care or studying because I'm a student and I have a lot to do every day so I need to do that.
✓ Yes, as I said, I'm kind of addicted to the Internet. I prefer to use it less and spend time on myself or some routines like skincare or studying because I'm a student and I have a lot to do every day, so I need to do that.
The phrase 'use less' needs an object 'it'. Also, 'spend time for myself' should be 'spend time on myself'. 'Skin care' is better as one word 'skincare'. The sentence is punctuated for clarity.
× Life could be so hard as we do a lot of things to that is relating to the Internet.
✓ Life could be so hard because we do a lot of things that are related to the Internet.
The original sentence is awkward and ungrammatical. 'As' is replaced with 'because' to show cause. 'To that is relating to' is incorrect; 'that are related to' is correct.
× Actually I like communicating with people all around the worldwide or chatting even and shopping online or sometimes using social media or post photos.
✓ Actually, I like communicating with people all around the world, chatting, shopping online, sometimes using social media, or posting photos.
The phrase 'all around the worldwide' is incorrect; it should be 'all around the world'. Also, 'post photos' should be 'posting photos' to maintain parallel verb forms.
