× Yes, I love the drawing and making handicrafts as a child because those creative activities helped me express my feelings and ideas.
✓ Yes, I loved drawing and making handicrafts as a child because those creative activities helped me express my feelings and ideas.
Tense inconsistency: the sentence refers to childhood (past) so verbs describing habitual past actions should be in the past tense. 'Love' (present) is incorrect; change to 'loved'. Also 'the drawing' is unnatural with 'the' before a general hobby; use the noun without article ('drawing'). Suggestion: keep all childhood references in past tense for consistency.
× I enjoy reading and enjoying various.
✓ I enjoy reading and enjoying various activities.
The word 'various' is a determiner that requires a noun to complete the idea. The sentence ends abruptly without specifying what is 'various'. Add a noun such as 'activities' to clarify. Also the repetition 'enjoy reading and enjoying' is redundant; consider 'I enjoy reading and a variety of other activities' for smoother phrasing.
× My families prefers alternate movies so our leisure activities are usually different and we often discuss our hobbies when we get together.
✓ My family prefers alternate movies, so our leisure activities are usually different and we often discuss our hobbies when we get together.
Pluralization and subject-verb agreement: 'families' (plural) is incorrect if referring to one family; use 'family' (singular). The verb 'prefers' must match the singular subject 'family' (which it does). Also 'alternate movies' is awkward—likely meant 'different movies' or 'alternating movies' if family members take turns choosing films. Suggest using 'different movies' or 'take turns choosing movies' for clarity. Add a comma before 'so' to separate clauses.
