How do you usually find news?

× I'm very interested in different types of news, especially the fact that I live in a very density and I have a lot on my plate and a lot of responsibilities on my shoulder, so I won't be able to travel around the world that easily.
✓ I'm very interested in different types of news, especially the fact that I live in a very dense area and I have a lot on my plate and a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders, so I won't be able to travel around the world that easily.
The word 'density' is a noun and incorrect here; the adjective 'dense' should be used to describe the area. Also, 'responsibilities on my shoulder' should be plural 'shoulders' because responsibilities are multiple and typically carried on both shoulders.
× When I was a child, I never really liked news because I find them extremely boring and meticulous because I didn't understand some of the terms that they use in policy making and healthcare.
✓ When I was a child, I never really liked news because I found it extremely boring and meticulous because I didn't understand some of the terms that they used in policy making and healthcare.
The sentence mixes past and present tense incorrectly. Since the context is past ('When I was a child'), verbs should be in past tense: 'find' should be 'found', 'use' should be 'used'. Also, 'news' is uncountable and treated as singular, so 'them' should be 'it'.
× But as I grew older, I find these topics extremely fascinating and riveting.
✓ But as I grew older, I found these topics extremely fascinating and riveting.
The phrase 'as I grew older' is past tense, so the verb 'find' should also be in past tense 'found' to maintain tense consistency.
× I've actually wanted to become a journalist last year, but as I've chosen the scientific path and I'm very determined to become a doctor in the future, so I would say no, not for now.
✓ I actually wanted to become a journalist last year, but as I have chosen the scientific path and I'm very determined to become a doctor in the future, I would say no, not for now.
The present perfect 'I've wanted' is incorrect with the specific past time 'last year'; simple past 'I wanted' is correct. Also, 'I've chosen' is better as 'I have chosen' for clarity, and the conjunction 'so' is unnecessary after 'and' and should be removed to avoid redundancy.
× But I would definitely write different stories. As a hobby.
✓ But I would definitely write different stories as a hobby.
The phrase 'As a hobby.' is a sentence fragment without a verb. It should be connected to the previous sentence to form a complete sentence.
× No, I've not read the news this morning, but. I have been watching the news a lot lately, especially about the Donald Trump policy makings.
✓ No, I haven't read the news this morning, but I have been watching the news a lot lately, especially about Donald Trump's policy making.
The contraction 'I've not' is less common; 'I haven't' is standard. 'Policy makings' is incorrect; 'policy making' is an uncountable noun. Also, 'the Donald Trump' is incorrect; it should be 'Donald Trump' or 'Donald Trump's' to show possession.
× My heart really goes out to all of the. Immigrants that are supported in America and those people who are affected by the war.
✓ My heart really goes out to all of the immigrants who are supported in America and those people who are affected by the war.
The sentence is broken incorrectly by a period after 'the'. Also, 'that' is less appropriate for people; 'who' should be used. The phrase 'supported in America' is unclear but kept as is since it may be contextually correct.
× But no, I I didn't watch the news this morning because I had to get here to do the test.
✓ But no, I didn't watch the news this morning because I had to get here to do the test.
The repeated 'I' is a typographical error and should be removed.
× Not really, because I understand that Paula season news can be a very sensitive topic.
✓ Not really, because I understand that political season news can be a very sensitive topic.
'Paula season' seems to be a mishearing or typo; likely intended 'political season'. This correction assumes the intended meaning.
× And I don't want the conversation to become very opinionated. I'm afraid that it would spark some arguments or. Different conflicts, so I don't usually talk with my friends about the news.
✓ And I don't want the conversation to become very opinionated. I'm afraid that it would spark some arguments or different conflicts, so I don't usually talk with my friends about the news.
The period after 'or' incorrectly breaks the sentence. It should be removed to connect the sentence properly.
