× Last holiday I went to canteen by myself and I tried to get the free diving license, but I failed to do that.

✓ Last holiday, I went to the canteen by myself and tried to get the free diving license, but I failed to do so.

The sentence is mostly correct in past tense usage, but 'do that' is better replaced with 'do so' for natural English. Also, 'the canteen' needs the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific place.

× Last holiday I went to canteen by myself and I tried to get the free diving license, but I failed to do that.

✓ Last holiday, I went to the canteen by myself and tried to get the free diving license, but I failed to do so.

The noun 'canteen' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific canteen. Missing 'the' causes the sentence to sound unnatural.

× Last holiday I went to canteen by myself and I tried to get the free diving license, but I failed to do that.

✓ Last holiday, I went to the canteen by myself and tried to get the free diving license, but I failed to do so.

'Do that' is less natural in this context; 'do so' is the correct pronoun phrase to refer back to the action of getting the license.

× Yes, of course, I love holidays because I can arrange my time and do whatever I want and finish the thing that I don't have time to do when I am in school.

✓ Yes, of course, I love holidays because I can arrange my time, do whatever I want, and finish the things that I don't have time to do when I am in school.

The sentence needs parallel structure in the list of activities, so 'do whatever I want' and 'finish the things' should be connected with commas and 'things' should be plural to match the context.

✓ Speaking of public holidays, I like the Chinese New Year the most because it has the longest period among all the holidays and we can gather our whole family together. So that is my favorite.

The original sentence has redundant and misplaced words ('my I', 'it is it has'), and 'period of among' is incorrect. Also, the sentence ends abruptly; adding 'favorite' completes the thought.

✓ Sometimes my family will arrange a family trip to travel around, like going to Japan or other cities in Taiwan, and sometimes I will just spend time by myself and try to do something that I don't usually have time to do.

The phrase 'to probably travel around' is awkward; 'to travel around' is better. 'Spend it by myself' is incorrect; it should be 'spend time by myself.' Also, 'in my usually' is incorrect; 'usually' is an adverb and should be placed properly.

× Sometimes my family will arrange a family trip to probably travel around, like going to Japan or just going to other cities in Taiwan, and sometimes I will just spend it by myself and try to do something that I don't have to do in my usually.

✓ Sometimes my family will arrange a family trip to travel around, like going to Japan or other cities in Taiwan, and sometimes I will just spend time by myself and try to do something that I don't usually have time to do.

'Spend it by myself' is incorrect because 'it' does not refer to a specific noun here. The correct phrase is 'spend time by myself.' Also, 'usually' should be placed correctly to modify the verb phrase.

✓ Oh yeah, definitely. On usual weekends, I would prefer to stay at home because I don't have that much energy to go out every weekend. That would be too tiring for me and I cannot get enough relaxation. So yes.

'I would prefer you to stay at home' is incorrect because the speaker is talking about themselves, so 'I would prefer to stay at home' is correct. 'Energetic' is an adjective; the noun 'energy' is needed here. 'Too tired' should be 'too tiring' to describe the activity.

× Definitely a luxury holiday because right now I am in Taiwanese high school which is really tired all the day, so a leisurely holiday will help me unwind the busy and make me feel relaxed.

✓ Definitely a leisurely holiday because right now I am in Taiwanese high school, which is really tiring all day, so a leisurely holiday will help me unwind from the busyness and make me feel relaxed.

'Luxury holiday' is incorrect; 'leisurely holiday' fits the context better. 'Really tired all the day' should be 'really tiring all day' because the school causes tiredness. 'Unwind the busy' is incorrect; it should be 'unwind from the busyness.'

× I would say a peaceful holiday because as I said, I am pretty overwhelmed by my high school life because Taiwanese high school is very have very heavy workloads and long hours of study. So I would just prefer a peaceful holiday.

✓ I would say a peaceful holiday because, as I said, I am pretty overwhelmed by my high school life since Taiwanese high schools have very heavy workloads and long hours of study. So I would just prefer a peaceful holiday.

The phrase 'is very have very heavy workloads' is grammatically incorrect. It should be 'have very heavy workloads' because 'high schools' is plural. Also, adding 'since' improves sentence flow.
