× Uh, I liked geography because it's my favorite subject in my school.
✓ Uh, I like geography because it's my favorite subject at my school.
The student used 'liked' (past tense) but is describing a present preference; use present simple 'like'. Also 'in my school' should be 'at my school' for correct preposition usage.
× Uh, because I like, uh, I like, uh, and I cherish to, uh, study, uh, and uh, this subject gives to me a lot of important things and, uh, useful things.
✓ Because I like and enjoy studying, and this subject gives me many important and useful things.
Use of 'cherish to study' is incorrect; after 'cherish' or 'enjoy' use gerund: 'enjoy studying'. 'Gives to me' is wrong preposition; correct is 'gives me'. Use 'many' with plural countable nouns and correct adjective order 'important and useful'.
× I think it's, yes, uh, it's better than not nothing to know, uh, and uh, it was very, uh, useful to in modern, in a, at the moment, uh, they are very, uh, modern and uh, teachers too.
✓ Yes, I think it is useful to know; it is very useful in the modern world, and teachers also find it useful.
Double negative 'not nothing' is wrong; use 'useful to know'. 'To in modern' and 'in a, at the moment' are confused prepositions; use 'in the modern world' or 'at the moment'. 'They are very modern and teachers too' is unclear; rephrase to say teachers find it useful.
× Yes, of course I learned geography starts with my 7th grade and it was very boring, but I uh, start, uh, start, understand this subject because my teacher was very, uh, very kind and that's why I, uh, start.
✓ Yes, of course I started learning geography in 7th grade and it was very boring, but I began to understand the subject because my teacher was very kind, and that's why I continued.
Mix of tenses: 'learned geography starts with my 7th grade' is incorrect. Use past simple 'started' and correct preposition 'in 7th grade'. 'Start' repeated should be past 'began' or 'started to understand'. 'That's why I continued' fits past narrative.
× Umm, I don't wanna be a teacher because, uh, in overall, I think a teacher is a stressful work and, uh, pay to is uh, too small and uh, I can't be a teacher. Uh, that I don't have a uh, skills.
✓ I don't want to be a teacher because, overall, I think teaching is a stressful job and the pay is too low, and I don't have the necessary skills.
Use 'want to' not 'wanna' in formal speech. 'In overall' should be 'overall'. 'A teacher is a stressful work' incorrect noun usage: use 'teaching is a stressful job'. 'Pay to is too small' wrong word order; use 'the pay is too low'. 'I don't have a skills' incorrect article and plural: 'the necessary skills'.
× Uh, I think it's, uh, depends on my time because I don't have a lot of time, Uh, umm, I used my time on a English, uh, only because it's English very important than geography.
✓ I think it depends on my time because I don't have much time. I spend my time on English only because English is much more important than geography.
'It's depends' incorrect; use 'it depends'. 'A lot of time' acceptable but 'much time' fits negative. 'I used my time on a English' wrong tense and article: 'I spend my time on English' or 'I study English'. 'English very important than geography' needs comparative structure 'much more important than geography'.
× I, I study geography when I was small and, uh.
✓ I studied geography when I was young.
Use past tense 'studied' to match 'when I was small/young'. 'Small' is unnatural for age; use 'young'.
