× I have to get many information not only in Japan but also from other countries.

✓ I have to get a lot of information not only in Japan but also from other countries.

'Information' is an uncountable noun, so 'many' cannot be used with it. Instead, use quantifiers like 'a lot of' or 'much' to correctly quantify uncountable nouns.

× It's a very difficult for me to umm, keep up with the new styles.

✓ It's very difficult for me to umm, keep up with the new styles.

The word 'difficult' is an adjective and does not require the article 'a' before it when used with 'very'. The correct form is 'very difficult' without 'a'.

× I always conduct interviews and get many information from them.

✓ I always conduct interviews and get a lot of information from them.

Again, 'information' is uncountable, so 'many' is incorrect. Use 'a lot of' to quantify uncountable nouns properly.

× I always go to the universities or research institutions to conduct interviews to many specialists.

✓ I always go to the universities or research institutions to conduct interviews with many specialists.

The correct preposition to use with 'conduct interviews' is 'with' to indicate the people being interviewed, not 'to'.

× It's very exciting and stimulating for me to get in touch with the cutting edge all over the world from their talking.

✓ It's very exciting and stimulating for me to get in touch with the cutting edge all over the world through their talks.

The phrase 'from their talking' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'through their talks' or 'through their discussions' to indicate the source of information.

× because they are not so many professions, uh, which is very, uh, stimulating and uh, exciting as a journalist.

✓ because there are not so many professions, uh, which are very, uh, stimulating and uh, exciting as being a journalist.

The subject 'professions' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is'. Also, 'as a journalist' should be 'as being a journalist' or 'as a journalist' depending on context, but here 'as being a journalist' fits better.

× No, I couldn't read any news on this morning because I had to get ready for taking English exams, so there were not enough time for me to get information.

✓ No, I couldn't read any news this morning because I had to get ready for taking English exams, so there was not enough time for me to get information.

The phrase 'on this morning' is incorrect; 'this morning' is correct without 'on'. Also, 'there were not enough time' is incorrect because 'time' is uncountable and singular, so 'there was not enough time' is correct.

× After this exam finished, I want to read a newspaper and watch some TV program.

✓ After this exam finishes, I want to read a newspaper and watch some TV programs.

The verb tense should be present simple 'finishes' to indicate future event after the exam. Also, 'TV program' should be plural 'TV programs' to match 'some' which indicates plural.

× main conversations topics is about the social problems, uh, politics and uh, uh, technology and uh, science.

✓ The main conversation topics are about social problems, uh, politics, uh, technology, and uh, science.

'Main conversations topics' should be 'The main conversation topics' (singular 'conversation' as adjective). Also, 'is' should be 'are' to agree with plural subject 'topics'. Articles and commas are added for clarity.

× we want to uh, talk much more about uh, uh, such projects.

✓ we want to uh, talk much more about uh, uh, such projects.

No grammatical correction needed here as 'much more' is acceptable in informal speech for emphasis. However, the sentence is somewhat informal and repetitive with fillers.
