× I don't watch movies very often because they are very short and they are finished in like few hours.
✓ I don't watch movies very often because they are very short and they finish in a few hours.
The phrase 'in like few hours' is incorrect because 'few' needs an article 'a' to be grammatically correct. Also, 'they are finished' is passive and less natural here; using 'they finish' is better to describe the duration of movies.
× I watched thriller and drama and romantic comedy movies.
✓ I watch thriller, drama, and romantic comedy movies.
The student uses past tense 'watched' which is inconsistent with the question about usual habits. Also, listing genres without commas makes it confusing; commas are needed to separate items in a list.
× Yes, I sometimes also watch sad emotional movies just to really be built up emotions I have.
✓ Yes, I sometimes also watch sad emotional movies just to really build up the emotions I have.
The phrase 'be built up emotions I have' is incorrect. The verb 'build up' should be in active form to express the intention. Also, 'the emotions' is needed to specify which emotions.
× I prefer watching at home because it offers a lot of comfort and ease and it does not restrict me to a physical space and I can comfortably watch the movie at my own pace and it is less costly as well.
✓ I prefer watching at home because it offers a lot of comfort and ease, and it does not restrict me to a physical space. I can comfortably watch the movie at my own pace, and it is less costly as well.
The original sentence is a run-on sentence lacking proper punctuation. Adding commas and splitting into two sentences improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Yes, I feel if you are learning some other language it is a great way of learning and understanding other language.
✓ Yes, I feel if you are learning another language, it is a great way of learning and understanding that language.
The phrase 'some other language' is less natural than 'another language'. Also, 'other language' should be 'that language' to refer back to the specific language being learned.
× For example, when I was learning Korean, I watched a lot of Korean dramas which helped me with my pronunciation and understand.
✓ For example, when I was learning Korean, I watched a lot of Korean dramas which helped me with my pronunciation and understanding.
The verb 'understand' should be in noun form 'understanding' to parallel 'helped me with my pronunciation'. This maintains grammatical consistency.
