× I love to get information about different locations and about natural disaster and these things which give me a good knowledge about this world.
✓ I love to get information about different locations and about natural disasters and these things which give me good knowledge about this world.
The word 'disaster' should be plural 'disasters' because it refers to multiple types of natural disasters, not just one. Using the plural form correctly matches the context of 'different locations' and 'these things'.
× I have never liked the course when I was in school.
✓ I have never liked the course when I was in school.
No correction needed here as 'course' is singular and correctly used.
× I feel this is really dry thing.
✓ I feel this is really a dry thing.
The sentence is missing the article 'a' before the singular noun 'dry thing'. Adding 'a' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× Definitely, I think the geographical knowledge which human get, so they help them to understand the world in a better way and about what is happening in different location and how eruptions and natural disaster happens.
✓ Definitely, I think the geographical knowledge which humans get helps them to understand the world in a better way and about what is happening in different locations and how eruptions and natural disasters happen.
The word 'human' should be plural 'humans' to refer to people in general. The verb 'help' should be 'helps' to agree with the singular subject 'knowledge'. 'Location' should be plural 'locations' to match 'different'. 'Disaster' should be plural 'disasters' to refer to multiple events. The verb 'happens' should be 'happen' to agree with the plural subject 'eruptions and natural disasters'.
× Yes, When I was in school, I had a geography course in which we were having different sections, such as we had to learn about the global environment and about different countries geography.
✓ Yes, when I was in school, I had a geography course in which we had different sections, such as learning about the global environment and about different countries' geography.
The phrase 'we were having' is awkward and should be simplified to 'we had'. Also, 'different countries geography' needs a possessive apostrophe to become 'different countries' geography' to show that the geography belongs to the countries.
× So it was quite interesting, but I found it really hard for me to learn every.
✓ So it was quite interesting, but I found it really hard for me to learn everything.
The word 'every' is incomplete here and should be 'everything' to correctly express the idea of learning all the material.
× Interesting question. I'd say I like geography at some extent, but as far as I know I don't know much about.
✓ Interesting question. I'd say I like geography to some extent, but as far as I know, I don't know much about it.
The phrase 'at some extent' should be 'to some extent'. Also, the sentence ends abruptly and needs the pronoun 'it' to refer back to 'geography'.
× I don't have much knowledge about geography. That's why I don't think I can be a geography teacher.
✓ I don't have much knowledge about geography. That's why I don't think I can be a geography teacher.
No correction needed here; the sentence is grammatically correct.
× But in future if I will learn more about geography, then definitely I want to be a teacher of geography.
✓ But in the future, if I learn more about geography, then definitely I want to be a geography teacher.
In conditional sentences about the future, 'if' clauses use the present tense, not 'will'. Also, 'in future' should be 'in the future'. The phrase 'teacher of geography' is better expressed as 'geography teacher'.
× Will you learn more about the geography of other countries?
✓ Will you learn more about the geography of other countries?
No correction needed; the use of 'the' before 'geography' is correct here.
× Yes, definitely, because that's an interesting point and interesting umm area. And I am actually interested uh, in learning other countries geography, especially umm, about their natural things and how everything works, especially their environment and.
✓ Yes, definitely, because that's an interesting point and an interesting area. And I am actually interested in learning about other countries' geography, especially about their natural features and how everything works, especially their environment.
The sentence is missing the article 'an' before 'interesting area'. 'Other countries geography' needs a possessive apostrophe to become 'other countries' geography'. The phrase 'natural things' is vague and better replaced with 'natural features'. The sentence ends abruptly and should be completed properly.
