× My school locates in Bryansk, it's a city in Russia.
✓ My school is located in Bryansk, which is a city in Russia.
The verb 'locates' is not used for a school to describe its position. Use the passive participle 'is located' or the stative verb 'is' + place. Also use 'which' to link the clause describing the city. Suggestion: Use 'is located' or 'is in' to describe location (e.g., 'My school is in Bryansk').
× Yes I do, I like my school because it's the only school that accept me and my brother to study because we are move with my family from Armenia to Russia and ha haven't that much money.
✓ Yes, I do. I like my school because it's the only school that accepted me and my brother to study when we moved with our family from Armenia to Russia and we didn't have much money.
Multiple issues: 'accept' should be past 'accepted' because the action happened in the past (Past tense issue ID 5). 'We are move' should be 'we moved' (past tense). 'ha haven't that much money' should be 'we didn't have much money' (article/auxiliary and wording). Also add commas and separate sentences for clarity. Suggestion: Keep past tense for past events and use correct auxiliary verbs for negation (didn't have).
× If you want to go to best university so our countries I don't think that it's the best decision.
✓ If you want to go to the best university in our country, I don't think it's the best decision.
Missing definite article 'the' before 'best university' (Article errors ID 22) and incorrect phrasing 'so our countries' should be 'in our country'. The sentence otherwise uses present simple correctly for general statements. Remove 'so' which is unnecessary. Suggestion: Use 'the best university in our country' for correct article and preposition use.
× But if you want a calm school and not that hard education, it's your choice.
✓ But if you want a calm school and less demanding education, it's your choice.
The phrase 'not that hard education' is awkward. Use 'less demanding education' or 'education that is not too hard'. 'But' is acceptable; main issue is word choice (Incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs ID 13). Suggestion: Use clearer adjectives and comparative expressions for clarity.
× When I was studying, uh, the environment was old and uh, when I go to university, ironically my school is rebuilt and nowadays it's much better.
✓ When I was studying, the environment was old, and when I went to university, ironically my school had been rebuilt and nowadays it's much better.
Tense consistency problem: 'when I go to university' should be past 'when I went to university' (Past tense issue ID 5). 'is rebuilt' should be past perfect 'had been rebuilt' to show the rebuilding happened before the time referenced. Use commas for clarity. Suggestion: Keep past tense consistent for past time references and use past perfect to show an action completed before another past action.
× I think interesting study is so important and it's play a key role because interest and, uh, people can reach more than the than ones that not interested in study.
✓ I think interesting study is very important and it plays a key role because interested people can achieve more than those who are not interested in studying.
Multiple issues: 'so important' is informal but acceptable; 'it's play' should be 'it plays' (third person singular error ID 2). 'interest and, uh, people' is unclear; use 'interested people'. 'reach more' is wrong collocation; use 'achieve more'. 'the than ones that not interested in study' should be 'those who are not interested in studying' (incorrect pronoun and verb forms). Suggestion: Use correct subject-verb agreement ('it plays'), correct relative pronouns ('those who'), and proper gerund 'studying'.
