× Oh, well, today I'm gonna talk about my last holiday.
✓ Oh, well, today I'm going to talk about my last holiday.
Use of informal contraction 'gonna' is not standard in formal speaking tests. Replace with 'going to' to form the present continuous with future meaning. Ensure consistency with present-tense reporting.
× I went to the capital of my country is Hanoi city.
✓ I went to the capital of my country, Hanoi.
The original mixes two sentence structures: a past statement 'I went to the capital...' and a present identification 'is Hanoi city.' Combine them into a single clear past statement and appositive: 'the capital of my country, Hanoi.' Remove redundant word 'city.'
× Uh, it was a such big city and also the gorgeous city.
✓ It was such a big and beautiful city.
Word order and article use are incorrect: 'a such big' should be 'such a big' or better 'a big and beautiful city.' 'Gorgeous' is acceptable but 'beautiful' is more natural here. Combine adjectives correctly.
× Uh, it's also more than I am a family went to a lot of museums and also tourist attractions, tourism attractions and have a lot of the over the moon moments in that.
✓ Also, my family and I visited a lot of museums and tourist attractions, and we had many wonderful moments.
The original has incorrect word order, pronoun placement, and awkward phrases ('more than I am a family', 'tourism attractions', 'over the moon moments'). Use 'my family and I' as subject, correct verb forms 'visited' and 'had', and replace informal idioms with 'wonderful moments.'
× I do like holidays, especially unlike that holiday in also summer holiday because in that holiday I can have enough time for my family and and friends in that time.
✓ I do like holidays, especially summer holidays, because I can spend enough time with my family and friends then.
Remove 'unlike' which is incorrect here. Use plural 'summer holidays' or 'the summer holiday.' Change 'have enough time for my family and friends in that time' to 'spend enough time with my family and friends then.' Maintain present simple for habits.
× My families always go to another city to have a a trip after studying, working.
✓ My family always goes to another city for a trip after studying and working.
Use singular collective noun 'family' with singular verb 'goes' (subject-verb agreement). Remove duplicate 'a', and use 'for a trip' or 'on a trip.' Also combine 'studying and working.'
× I think it's really memorable.
✓ I think it's really memorable.
Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. (Kept to show only listed errors are corrected.)
× Uh, I like the third holiday best because in that holiday I can do a lot of activities with my friends and family and also I have enough time for them.
✓ I like the third holiday best because I can do many activities with my friends and family and have enough time for them.
Replace 'a lot of' with 'many' (both acceptable) and remove repetitive 'in that holiday.' Use present simple for habitual preference.
× I usually use that time to unwind and relax after working and and studying.
✓ I usually use that time to unwind and relax after working and studying.
Duplicate 'and' removed. Maintain parallel gerund forms 'working and studying.'
× I think that is my best holiday of.
✓ I think that is my best holiday.
Remove the stray preposition 'of' which makes the sentence incomplete. The corrected sentence is complete and natural.
× In my holiday I usually do some low energy activities such as laying down on my bed and surfing the Internet, also scrolling the TikTok because in that day I just want to unwind and recharge my battery after studying and working hard.
✓ During my holidays I usually do low-energy activities such as lying on my bed, surfing the Internet, or scrolling TikTok because on those days I just want to unwind and recharge my batteries after studying and working hard.
Use 'during my holidays' or 'on my holiday' for time expression. 'Laying down' should be 'lying' (verb form). Hyphenate 'low-energy' as a compound adjective. 'The TikTok' is incorrect; use 'TikTok' without an article. Use plural 'batteries' idiomatically. Maintain plural/singular consistency for time expressions.
× Definitely yes because I just have a few of time to unwind after studying and working.
✓ Definitely yes, because I only have a little time to unwind after studying and working.
'a few of time' is incorrect. Use 'a little time' for uncountable 'time' or 'a few days' for countable. Also 'only' is more natural than 'just' here.
× So I just want to spend my time, my free time in at home with my family and friends.
✓ So I just want to spend my free time at home with my family and friends.
Use 'at home' not 'in at home.' Remove redundant 'my time, my free time.' Keep concise phrasing.
× I just like that because I think that activities and also my favorite people helps me on why.
✓ I like that because I think those activities and my favorite people help me relax.
Original is unclear and ungrammatical. Replace 'that activities' with 'those activities' and ensure subject-verb agreement 'people help.' Clarify meaning to 'help me relax.'
× I prefer a leisurely holiday because I just like a people would like to unwind after studying and working hard.
✓ I prefer a leisurely holiday because I think people would like to unwind after studying and working hard.
Remove extra article 'a' before 'people' and change 'I just like a people would like' to 'I think people would like.' Use consistent present-tense opinion language.
× So I think that is my present for myself to recharge my battery batteries.
✓ So I think it is a present to myself to recharge my batteries.
'Present for myself' is awkward; 'a present to myself' is natural. Remove duplicated 'battery batteries' and use plural 'batteries.'
× So I think it's fine if I use all my holiday for laterally.
✓ So I think it's fine if I spend my whole holiday relaxing.
'Laterally' is incorrect (wrong word). Use 'relaxing' or 'at leisure.' Also 'use all my holiday' is awkward; 'spend my whole holiday' is natural.
× Oh, I just like to have a peaceful holiday especially with all my close friend and family because I just want to do some activities with my favorite people and also I just want to stay at home and relax and also rejoin my batteries after studying working hard.
✓ Oh, I just like to have a peaceful holiday especially with my close friends and family because I want to do activities with my favorite people, stay at home, relax, and recharge my batteries after working and studying hard.
Use plural 'friends' to match 'all my close friend' and maintain parallel verbs 'stay,' 'relax,' 'recharge.' 'Rejoin my batteries' is incorrect; use 'recharge my batteries.' Ensure consistent word order 'working and studying' or 'studying and working.'
