× Absolutely, reading is one of my favorite hobby because it allows me unwind and escape from my daily stress.
✓ Absolutely, reading is one of my favorite hobbies because it allows me to unwind and escape from my daily stress.
'favorite hobby' should be plural 'favorite hobbies' because 'one of' requires a plural noun. Also missing 'to' before 'unwind' to form the infinitive 'to unwind'. Suggestion: use 'one of my favorite hobbies' and 'allows me to unwind'.
× I enjoy exploring different genres like like sci-fi and history.
✓ I enjoy exploring different genres like sci-fi and history.
There is a duplicated word 'like like'. Remove the repetition. The gerund 'exploring' is correct. Suggestion: proofread to avoid repeated words.
× Personally I much prefer reading on paper.
✓ Personally, I much prefer reading on paper.
A comma is needed after 'Personally' for correct sentence flow and natural spoken English. The tense is correct; this fixes punctuation which affects clarity. Suggestion: add a comma after introductory adverbs.
× I find it for more comfortable for my eye, plus I can concentrate better without the distractions that comes from comes with digital devices.
✓ I find it much more comfortable for my eyes, plus I can concentrate better without the distractions that come with digital devices.
Use 'much more comfortable' instead of 'for more comfortable'; 'my eye' should be plural 'my eyes' for natural expression. 'That comes from comes with' has duplication and wrong verb form; use 'that come with' because 'distractions' is plural, so verb must be plural. Suggestion: 'I find it much more comfortable for my eyes' and 'distractions that come with digital devices'.
× I find it for more comfortable for my eye, plus I can concentrate better without the distractions that comes from comes with digital devices.
✓ I find it much more comfortable for my eyes, plus I can concentrate better without the distractions that come with digital devices.
As above, 'distractions' is plural so the verb must be 'come' not 'comes'. Ensure subject-verb agreement for third person plural subjects. Suggestion: match plural subjects with plural verbs.
× I definitely need to read carefully, especially when I I'm dealing with important documents such as contracts or official e-mail.
✓ I definitely need to read carefully, especially when I'm dealing with important documents such as contracts or official e-mails.
Remove the duplicated 'I' ('I I'm'). Use the contraction 'I'm' correctly. 'e-mail' is often pluralized as 'e-mails' when referring to multiple messages. Suggestion: 'especially when I'm dealing with important documents such as contracts or official e-mails'.
× Uh, missing even a small detail in this situation could lead to being mistake.
✓ Uh, missing even a small detail in this situation could lead to a mistake.
The phrase 'lead to being mistake' is ungrammatical. Use 'lead to a mistake' or 'lead to mistakes'. 'Lead to' should be followed by a noun. Suggestion: 'could lead to a mistake' or 'could lead to mistakes'.
× I generally prefer to use scanning when I need to find information quickly, especially during exams or I'm searching for something online.
✓ I generally prefer to use scanning when I need to find information quickly, especially during exams or when I'm searching for something online.
Parallel structure is required: 'especially during exams or when I'm searching...' The original mixes 'during exams' with 'I'm searching' without a connector. Add 'when' for clarity and parallelism. Suggestion: maintain parallel grammatical forms after 'especially'.
