× At the moment I wear T-shirts every day because I spend the most of my time in house, but when I worked at the Five Star Hotel in Milan I usually wear a shirt with a suit.
✓ At the moment I wear T-shirts every day because I spend most of my time in the house, but when I worked at the Five Star Hotel in Milan I usually wore a shirt with a suit.
The sentence mixes present and past tenses incorrectly and has article and adverb issues. 'spend the most of my time' is unidiomatic; use 'spend most of my time'. Add the definite article 'the' before 'house'. The second clause refers to past habitual action, so use past tense 'wore' not present 'wear'. Suggestions: use consistent tenses across clauses, include necessary articles, and choose idiomatic expressions.
× No, I I prefer to have a small wardrobe in my house.
✓ No, I prefer to have a small wardrobe in my house.
There is a repeated word 'I I' which is a simple repetition error. Remove the duplicate to make the present simple sentence correct. Suggestion: read aloud to catch duplicated words.
× I think buying too many T-shirts or clothes in general, it's a waste of money.
✓ I think buying too many T-shirts or clothes in general is a waste of money.
This sentence has an unnecessary comma and a duplicate subject 'it' that creates a sentence structure error. Remove the comma and the extra 'it' to form a single clause: 'I think X is a waste of money.' Suggestion: avoid inserting an extra subject when the clause already serves as the subject.
× It's tough question.
✓ It's a tough question.
The indefinite article 'a' is missing before 'tough question.' Add 'a' because 'tough question' is a singular countable noun phrase. Suggestion: use 'a' or 'the' with singular countable nouns as needed.
× I believe that T-shirts aren't uh, really used by older person in my country they prefer to wear a shirt or a suit.
✓ I believe that T-shirts aren't really worn by older people in my country; they prefer to wear a shirt or a suit.
Multiple issues: 'older person' should be plural 'older people' (quantifier/number), and the passive phrase 'used by' is unnatural here—use 'worn by'. Also punctuation is needed between clauses (semicolon or period). Suggestion: use plural nouns for general statements and prefer 'wear/worn' when talking about clothing.
× Because in Italy there is the Dolce Vita lifestyle.
✓ Because in Italy there is the Dolce Vita lifestyle.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable, but stylistically beginning a sentence with 'Because' can produce a fragment if not attached to a main clause; here it follows the previous sentence so it's okay. No grammatical correction needed. Suggestion: you could combine with the previous sentence for smoother flow: '...they prefer to wear a shirt or a suit because in Italy there is the Dolce Vita lifestyle.'
× Yes, I used to wear T-shirts every day when I was kid because I spent a lot of time playing outdoors.
✓ Yes, I used to wear T-shirts every day when I was a kid because I spent a lot of time playing outdoors.
The article 'a' is missing before 'kid.' Use 'a kid' for singular countable noun. The rest correctly uses past habitual 'used to' and past tense 'spent.' Suggestion: include appropriate articles with singular countable nouns.
× For example, I played basketball for several for several years, so T-shirts were the most comfortable and practical clothes on me.
✓ For example, I played basketball for several years, so T-shirts were the most comfortable and practical clothes for me.
There is a duplicated phrase 'for several' which is repetitive; remove the duplicate. Also 'clothes on me' is unidiomatic—use 'for me.' Suggestion: avoid duplication and choose correct prepositional phrase 'for me' when indicating suitability.
× And yeah, I had a favorite T-shirt that was orange.
✓ And yeah, I had a favorite T-shirt that was orange.
This sentence is grammatically correct. No change required. Suggestion: informal 'And yeah' is acceptable in spoken language.
