× Yes, I kind of enjoy traveling by car when I were a kid because it's really convenient and uh, sometimes it's uh, really, uh, helpful for us as well because in a car we can get a lot of people at the same time, like my family.
✓ Yes, I kind of enjoyed traveling by car when I was a kid because it's really convenient and uh, sometimes it's uh, really, uh, helpful for us as well because in a car we can get a lot of people at the same time, like my family.
The sentence refers to a past time ('when I were a kid'), so the verbs should be in the past tense. 'Enjoy' should be 'enjoyed' and 'were' should be 'was' to agree with the singular subject 'I' in past tense.
× Yes, I kind of enjoy traveling by car when I were a kid because it's really convenient and uh, sometimes it's uh, really, uh, helpful for us as well because in a car we can get a lot of people at the same time, like my family.
✓ Yes, I kind of enjoyed traveling by car when I was a kid because it's really convenient and uh, sometimes it's uh, really, uh, helpful for us as well because in a car we can get a lot of people at the same time, like my family.
The subject 'I' requires the verb 'was' in past tense, not 'were'. 'Were' is used with plural subjects or in subjunctive mood.
× I don't really like buses because it's really kind of not my thing and I really love pictures, which is more convenient? I can, uh, fill the wine in my face and my body, which is really convenient for me.
✓ I don't really like buses because they're really kind of not my thing and I really love private cars, which are more convenient. I can, uh, fill the wine in my face and my body, which is really convenient for me.
The pronoun 'it's' should be 'they're' to agree with the plural noun 'buses'. Also, 'pictures' seems incorrect in context; likely 'private cars' or 'cars' was intended. 'Which is' should be 'which are' to agree with plural 'cars'.
× I don't really like buses because it's really kind of not my thing and I really love pictures, which is more convenient? I can, uh, fill the wine in my face and my body, which is really convenient for me.
✓ I don't really like buses because they're really kind of not my thing and I really love private cars, which are more convenient. I can, uh, fill the wine in my face and my body, which is really convenient for me.
The question mark after 'which is more convenient?' is incorrect; it should be a statement. Also, 'pictures' is likely a mispronunciation or error for 'private cars' or 'cars'.
× I can, uh, fill the wine in my face and my body, which is really convenient for me.
✓ I can, uh, fill the wine on my face and my body, which is really convenient for me.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect here; 'on' is the correct preposition to indicate something applied to the surface of the face and body.
× So that's a very safe for me if I will be a passenger because if I try to drive then it will occur an accident.
✓ So that's very safe for me if I am a passenger because if I try to drive then an accident might occur.
The article 'a' before 'very safe' is incorrect; 'very safe' is an adjective phrase that does not require an article. Also, 'if I will be' should be 'if I am' to express a conditional present/future situation.
× So that's a very safe for me if I will be a passenger because if I try to drive then it will occur an accident.
✓ So that's very safe for me if I am a passenger because if I try to drive then an accident might occur.
In conditional sentences, the present tense 'if I am' is used instead of 'if I will be'. Also, 'it will occur an accident' is awkward; 'an accident might occur' is more natural.
× I try to use my phone or listening to any music.
✓ I try to use my phone or listen to any music.
After 'try to', the base form of the verb should be used, not the '-ing' form. So 'listening' should be 'listen'.
× Sometimes it's really frustrating and annoying at the same time because traffic occurs a lot in our country, uh, and it's really disgusting.
✓ Sometimes it's really frustrating and annoying at the same time because there is a lot of traffic in our country, uh, and it's really disgusting.
The phrase 'traffic occurs a lot' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'there is a lot of traffic'. This also involves the 'There be issue' but mainly preposition and expression usage.
