× I I have to say that I am a big fan of shopping, although I can't afford a lot of things.
✓ I have to say that I am a big fan of shopping, although I can't afford a lot of things.
The repetition of 'I' is unnecessary and incorrect. Removing the extra 'I' corrects the sentence structure and maintains proper present tense usage.
× I usually come to some shopping mall and stand in front of any kind of stores to observe all the things and try it out without buying.
✓ I usually go to some shopping malls and stand in front of different kinds of stores to observe all the things and try them out without buying.
The phrase 'come to some shopping mall' is better expressed as 'go to some shopping malls' to indicate movement towards a place. 'Any kind of stores' should be 'different kinds of stores' for clarity and correctness. Also, 'try it out' should be 'try them out' to agree with the plural 'stores'.
× That is because I'm not kind of. I'm not well off person so I need to balance my budget with my 2 needs.
✓ That is because I'm not well off. I'm not a well-off person, so I need to balance my budget with my needs.
The phrase 'I'm not kind of' is incomplete and unclear. It should be 'I'm not well off' to express financial status. Also, 'my 2 needs' is unclear and unnecessary; 'my needs' suffices. The article 'a' is needed before 'well-off person'.
× Well, I think not only me, but a great number of people face difficulties when shopping.
✓ Well, I think not only I, but a great number of people face difficulties when shopping.
The subject pronoun 'I' should be used instead of the object pronoun 'me' when it is the subject of the verb 'think'. This corrects the sentence structure.
× For example, I face difficulties in choosing the right color or choosing which forms of cloudy, bad speed meat.
✓ For example, I face difficulties in choosing the right colour or choosing which forms of cloudy, bad-speed meat.
The phrase 'bad speed meat' is unclear and likely a mishearing or typo. Assuming it refers to 'bad-speed meat' as a compound adjective, a hyphen is needed. Also, 'colour' is the British English spelling. However, the phrase remains unclear; clarification is needed for 'cloudy, bad-speed meat'.
× Most of the time expensive product is because of the right name.
✓ Most of the time, an expensive product is expensive because of the right name.
The singular noun 'product' needs an article 'an' before it. Also, the sentence is incomplete and unclear; adding 'is expensive' clarifies the meaning.
× For example I have bought a cushion from Dr. with compare with another one from a Chinese brand and.
✓ For example, I have bought a cushion from Dr. [Brand] compared with another one from a Chinese brand.
The phrase 'with compare with' is incorrect. It should be 'compared with' to correctly express comparison. The sentence was incomplete and needed restructuring for clarity.
