× for example, last week I make a need to buy some clothes, so I need to remember it uh, what I need to buy for the colors and the coat size.
✓ for example, last week I needed to buy some clothes, so I needed to remember what I had to buy, such as the colors and the coat size.
Past events require past tense. 'make a need to buy' is ungrammatical and should be 'needed to buy'. Maintain past forms consistently ('needed', 'had to buy'). Also remove filler words and reorder phrase for clarity.
× I will make the, uh, checklist for my work, uh, because, uh, it is uh, easy to let me remember and let me to follow what I need to do at that day is work and be uh, effectiveness like last last week.
✓ I make a checklist for my work because it helps me remember and follow what I need to do that day and be more effective, like last week.
The sentence mixes future 'will' with present description; use habitual present 'I make' or 'I create' for routines. Remove unnecessary 'to' after 'let me' and change 'be effectiveness' to 'be more effective'. Simplify for clarity and correct verb forms.
× I make the Chinese to let me finish work.
✓ I used Chinese notes to help me finish my work.
Original is unclear and lacks proper objects and tense. 'Make the Chinese' is ungrammatical; likely meant 'use Chinese' or 'Chinese notes'. Use past tense 'used' to match 'last week' context and add 'help' to show purpose.
× Because they don't like to make some step to let them follow.
✓ Because they don't like to make steps to follow.
Redundant pronoun 'them' and awkward 'some step to let them follow'. Use plural 'steps' and a simpler structure 'to follow'. Pronoun 'them' is unnecessary when subject is generic 'they'.
× And is it too much trouble for that?
✓ And is it too much trouble for them?
Pronoun reference unclear; 'that' is vague. Use 'them' to refer back to people. Also better phrased as 'Is it too much trouble for them?' moving 'And' is optional.
× when they, uh, make the chat list to let them followed, uh, they maybe they will not, uh, see the, uh, checklist to follow it.
✓ when they make a checklist to follow, they may not look at it.
Use 'may' instead of 'maybe they will' for modality. 'Let them followed' is wrong: 'to follow' or 'to be followed' corrects verb form. Simplify 'see the checklist to follow it' to 'look at it'.
× So that's why it's, uh, less productive.
✓ So that's why it is less productive.
Contraction 'it's' is acceptable in speech, but in formal correction expand to 'it is'. No agreement error here beyond clarity; ensuring subject and verb match and removing filler improves formality.
× I prefer to make a list on my phones because I usually use my phone rather than paper.
✓ I prefer to make a list on my phone because I usually use my phone rather than paper.
Mismatch: 'a list' (singular) should be on 'my phone' (singular), not 'phones'. Ensure noun number matches the article.
× Now, for example, last week I made a checklist for work in my phone.
✓ For example, last week I made a checklist for work on my phone.
Use preposition 'on' with 'phone' when referring to items stored there. Tense 'made' is correct for past event; adjust preposition.
× It's I always will, uh, watch my phone and see my phone to check it.
✓ I always check my phone to look at my list.
Original combines awkward auxiliary order 'I always will' and repetitive 'watch my phone and see my phone'. Use simple present habitual 'I always check my phone' and clarify purpose 'to look at my list'.
× Which one? I won't do it, I haven't do it.
✓ I won't do it. I haven't done it.
'I haven't do it' is incorrect; present perfect requires past participle 'done'. Also separate sentences for clarity and maintain correct auxiliary 'have' + past participle.
