× I like very much eating chocolate because I'm addicted to chocolate actually.
✓ I very much like eating chocolate because I'm actually addicted to it.
The original sentence misplaces 'very much' and repeats 'chocolate'. Move 'very much' before the verb 'like' for natural word order and replace the repeated noun with the pronoun 'it'. Use 'actually' before the verb phrase for clarity. This improves fluency and correctness.
× It gives me dopamine like everyone and makes me unbelievable happy.
✓ It gives me dopamine like it does for everyone and makes me unbelievably happy.
The phrase 'like everyone' is unclear; 'like it does for everyone' clarifies the comparison. 'Unbelievable' is an adjective but the adverb 'unbelievably' is required to modify 'happy'. Use the adverb form to be grammatically correct.
× I like every kind of sugar, but chocolate is a little bit different than others because it's my favorite dessert.
✓ I like all kinds of sweets, but chocolate is a little different from the others because it's my favourite dessert.
'Every kind of sugar' is unnatural; 'all kinds of sweets' is more idiomatic. Use 'different from' not 'different than' in British English. 'Others' should be 'the others' to refer to the other sweets. Use British spelling 'favourite' if matching EN-GB.
× I eat chocolate every day, every day and maybe twice, maybe more than twice in a day.
✓ I eat chocolate every day, sometimes twice or even more than twice a day.
Repetitive 'every day, every day' is redundant. Use 'sometimes' to indicate frequency and 'a day' is the correct phrase for daily frequency. This keeps present simple tense for habitual action.
× So it's what? It's not very healthy. I know I need to carry on little bit but like I said I'm addicted so I cannot stop to eat chocolate.
✓ So, it's not very healthy. I know I need to cut down a little, but as I said, I'm addicted so I cannot stop eating chocolate.
'Carry on little bit' is incorrect; 'cut down a little' or 'carry on for a bit' would work depending on meaning. 'Cannot stop to eat' is wrong because 'stop' plus verb requires '-ing' to mean cease an activity: 'stop eating'. Use 'as I said' for cohesion and commas to improve clarity.
× As I remember, I have been eating chocolate since since child.
✓ As I remember, I have been eating chocolate since childhood.
Use 'since childhood' to express the period from childhood to now. The present perfect continuous 'have been eating' is acceptable, but double 'since' is an error. Use the noun 'childhood' rather than 'child' after 'since'.
× I always love chocolate.
✓ I have always loved chocolate.
When referring to a lasting preference from the past until now, British English uses present perfect: 'have always loved'. 'I always love' suggests a general current habit but less clearly indicates duration.
× It's dessert, it can be used as a gift, an award, and of course also there is a some scientific perspective.
✓ It's a dessert: it can be given as a gift or an award, and of course there is also a scientific perspective.
Add the article 'a' before 'dessert'. Use 'given as a gift' rather than 'used as a gift' for natural phrasing. Remove extra 'there' and correct 'a some' to 'a' or 'some'; here 'there is also a scientific perspective' is natural. Use punctuation to separate clauses.
× It gives dopamine and this leads to happiness.
✓ It releases dopamine, which leads to happiness.
Use 'releases dopamine' or 'causes the release of dopamine' for clarity. 'This' as a pronoun is acceptable but 'which' introduces the relative clause more naturally. Keeps meaning but improves register.
× I like every kind of chocolate but specially salt caramel is my favorite.
✓ I like every kind of chocolate, but especially salted caramel is my favourite.
'Especially' is the correct adverb (not 'specially') and should precede the item it modifies. 'Salt caramel' is usually 'salted caramel'. Use comma before 'but' and British spelling 'favourite'.
× And also like Nutella, it's very basic but it's coming from very very past and and uh, very essential brands of the chocolates.
✓ Also, like Nutella, it's very common, but it comes from a long history and from very established chocolate brands.
'It's very basic' is colloquial; 'very common' or 'widely known' is clearer. 'Coming from very very past' is ungrammatical — use 'comes from a long history'. Remove filler 'and and uh' and replace 'very essential brands of the chocolates' with 'very established chocolate brands' for natural expression.
× Yes, I think it's a good to use chocolate as a gift.
✓ Yes, I think it's good to give chocolate as a gift.
Remove the unnecessary article 'a' before 'good'. Use the verb 'give' rather than 'use' when referring to gifts. This yields natural collocation 'give chocolate as a gift'.
× There is a some scientific researcher says to eat something makes people happy and you know, uh, chocolates is involved dopamine and dopamine boost your energy and happiness.
✓ Some scientific research says that eating certain things makes people happy, and chocolate is linked to dopamine, which boosts energy and happiness.
Replace 'There is a some scientific researcher says' with 'Some scientific research says that...'. 'Chocolates is involved dopamine' is ungrammatical; use 'chocolate is linked to dopamine' or 'involves dopamine'. Use 'which boosts' to introduce the effect. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'research says', not 'researcher says' unless referring to a person. Use singular 'chocolate' as an uncountable noun here.
× So I think it's a very good gift.
✓ So I think it's a very good gift.
This sentence is fine; no grammatical change needed. It correctly uses pronouns and articles. Included to confirm correctness and maintain the instruction to respond for relevant sentences only.
