× I have a friend who I knew for a long time.
✓ I have a friend whom I have known for a long time.
The speaker mixes present perfect and simple past incorrectly. Use present perfect 'have known' for an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Also use the object pronoun 'whom' (or omit it) after 'friend'. Suggestion: say 'I have a friend I have known for a long time.'
× I know her about 10 years ago.
✓ I met her about 10 years ago.
The time expression 'about 10 years ago' requires simple past, not present 'know'. Use 'met' to indicate when you first became acquainted.
× She is a best friend for me.
✓ She is a best friend to me.
Use the article correctly: say 'a best friend' and use the preposition 'to' rather than 'for' in this context. Better: 'She is my best friend.'
× it makes me feel comfortable and calmed by hanging out with friends.
✓ it makes me feel comfortable and calm to hang out with friends.
Use adjective 'calm' instead of past participle 'calmed' here. After 'makes me feel' use base adjective. For purpose/infinitive use 'to hang out' rather than 'by hanging out' for clarity.
× I often go to amusement park or shopping mall with my friends, which is so much fun for me and beneficial for our social skills.
✓ I often go to the amusement park or the shopping mall with my friends, which is a lot of fun for me and beneficial for our social skills.
Countable singular nouns like 'amusement park' and 'shopping mall' usually need an article 'the' here. Use 'a lot of fun' rather than 'so much fun' for naturalness.
× So basically I meet them in schools UMM mainly this is because umm they they are friends who I met UMM at school for the first time.
✓ Basically I met them at UMM school because they are friends I met there for the first time.
Use 'met' (simple past) for past meetings and 'at' for institutions or places. Avoid repeating words and filler sounds. Use 'there' to refer to UMM school.
× So we have hanging out and go to amusement park or shopping mall.
✓ So we hang out and go to the amusement park or the shopping mall.
Use simple present 'hang out' for habitual actions. Maintain parallel structure: 'hang out and go'. Add articles for places.
× I often hang out with my friends because I really enjoying go out with my best friends and my loved ones.
✓ I often hang out with my friends because I really enjoy going out with my best friends and my loved ones.
Use base verb 'enjoy' followed by gerund 'going'. 'Really enjoy' + 'going out' is correct. 'I really enjoying go' is ungrammatical.
× So for example I we often go to movie theater or shopping malls.
✓ For example, we often go to the movie theater or to shopping malls.
Use 'the movie theater' for a specific venue and plural 'shopping malls' if general. Remove extra pronoun and add commas for clarity.
× MMM it's it is very important to have friends.
✓ It is very important to have friends.
Remove filler repetitions. Present tense 'is' is correct; just simplify the sentence.
× if I did something wrong, umm or failing for something, they cheer up, cheer me up and they can support me, which is so much beneficial for.
✓ If I do something wrong or fail at something, they cheer me up and can support me, which is very helpful.
Use present tense in conditional for general truths: 'If I do... they cheer'. Use verb 'fail' (not 'failing for'), and 'helpful' rather than 'beneficial for'.
× I sometimes go out with one friends and I sometimes go out with groups.
✓ I sometimes go out with one friend and sometimes go out with groups.
Use singular 'one friend' (not 'one friends'). Keep 'sometimes' placement consistent.
× Both of them are so much fun for me.
✓ Both are a lot of fun for me.
Use 'both' without 'of them' when referring generally; 'a lot of fun' is more natural than 'so much fun' in this structure.
× And for example, when I go out with groups they we can share more so much information and.
✓ For example, when I go out with a group we can share a lot more information.
Fix word order and remove repeated pronoun. Use 'a group' (singular) or 'groups' with plural verb; 'a lot more information' is natural.
× Yes, actually I often invite my friends at my home because my house is basically more spacious than others.
✓ Yes, actually I often invite my friends to my home because my house is more spacious than others'.
Use 'invite someone to my home' not 'at'. For comparison with other houses use 'than others'' or better 'than other houses'.
× So hanging out with my friends at home, I can enjoy a lot of activities at home and socialize with friends.
✓ By hanging out with my friends at home, I can enjoy many activities and socialize with them.
Use 'By hanging out' to indicate means. Avoid repetition 'at home' and use 'many activities' and 'socialize with them'.
× Yes it is. I think there are so many difference between the friends I adopt I met before and now.
✓ Yes, it is. I think there are so many differences between the friends I met before and now.
Use plural 'differences' to match 'so many'. Remove 'adopt' which is incorrect here. Keep 'met' simple past.
× The difference is there are the past friends are so many sociable and talkative but now friends is shy.
✓ The difference is that my past friends were very sociable and talkative, but my current friends are shy.
Use 'that' to introduce explanation, correct word order, use past tense 'were' for past friends, and plural 'friends are'. Use 'very' rather than 'so many'.
× In my opinion, I believe that there are places that not suitable for meeting.
✓ In my opinion, I believe that there are places that are not suitable for meeting.
Add the verb 'are' before 'not suitable' to make a complete clause.
× For example, the crowded places like there are so many people are not suitable for meeting.
✓ For example, crowded places with many people are not suitable for meeting.
Simplify structure: remove 'there are' and place modifier 'with many people' after 'places'.
× This is because it is so loud and noisy so they might not be able to hear.
✓ This is because it is so loud and noisy that they might not be able to hear.
Use 'so... that' to show result. Without 'that' the sentence is ungrammatical.
