× Not often.
✓ Not often.
No article error; sentence is short answer and grammatically acceptable. No change needed.
× I'm a poor student so I don't have much money to spend on jewelry.
✓ I'm a poor student so I don't have much money to spend on jewelry.
No singular/plural error. Sentence is correct as written; 'money' is uncountable and 'jewelry' is uncountable in American English.
× I usually wear some simple pieces only for some special events like my friend's birthday or my aunt's wedding.
✓ I usually wear a few simple pieces only for special events like my friend's birthday or my aunt's wedding.
The original uses 'some' twice; while not strictly wrong, 'a few' is more natural with countable 'pieces' and 'special events' does not need 'some'. Suggest using 'a few' for clarity and naturalness.
× It can show my respect to those occasion.
✓ It can show my respect on those occasions.
Original has incorrect noun number and preposition. 'Occasion' should be plural 'occasions' and the usual preposition is 'on' for events, so 'show my respect on those occasions' is correct.
× I like earrings. I think it is much cheaper than some other accessories like necklace and rings and it also can give me a new look.
✓ I like earrings. I think they are much cheaper than some other accessories like necklaces and rings, and they can also give me a new look.
Pronoun-number agreement: 'earrings' is plural, so use plural pronoun 'they' and verb 'are'. Also pluralize 'necklace' to 'necklaces' for parallelism. Move 'also' before main verb for natural adverb placement.
× It can make me look elegant and show my personality.
✓ It can make me look elegant and show my personality.
This sentence is grammatically correct; 'show' is base form used after modal 'can' and parallel with 'make'. No change needed.
× Actually, not often, but when I need to give my friends a present or in my mom's birthday, I will choose a necklace or a pair of earrings as the gift.
✓ Actually, not often, but when I need to give my friends a present or for my mom's birthday, I will choose a necklace or a pair of earrings as a gift.
Use 'for' with 'birthday' to indicate purpose. Also 'as the gift' is unnatural; 'as a gift' is more natural. Minor article adjustment improves fluency.
× Why do you think some people wear a piece of jewelry for a long time?
✓ Why do you think some people wear pieces of jewelry for a long time?
'Some people' implies plural, so use plural noun 'pieces of jewelry' (or 'a piece of jewelry' could remain if referring to each person, but plural is clearer). Either 'wear a piece of jewelry' (each person) or 'wear pieces of jewelry' (people generally). Suggested correction makes subject and object number consistent.
× I think there are many reasons.
✓ I think there are many reasons.
Sentence is correct as is; pronoun use is fine. No change needed.
× First is the jury has a different meanings like the marriage rings or the negligence presented by dear friends and the second is the jury can represent their personality.
✓ First, jewelry has different meanings, like wedding rings or gifts presented by close friends; second, jewelry can represent a person's personality.
Multiple errors: 'jury' is incorrect word choice for 'jewelry' (wrong word form), 'has a different meanings' mixes singular/plural and verb agreement—correct to 'has different meanings' or 'jewelry has different meanings'. 'Marriage rings' is better as 'wedding rings'. 'Negligence' is wrong word for 'gift'—likely intended 'gifts'; 'dear friends' better as 'close friends'. Also pronoun 'their' ambiguous; use 'a person's' for clarity. Rewording fixes noun choice, number agreement, and word choice errors.
