× on the morning I always, uh, read some news
✓ in the morning I always, uh, read some news
The correct preposition to use with 'morning' when referring to a general time of day is 'in', not 'on'. 'On' is used for specific days or dates, e.g., 'on Monday'.
× maybe from CNN or for BBC to get update on the current trend
✓ maybe from CNN or from BBC to get updates on the current trend
The preposition 'for' is incorrect here; 'from' should be used to indicate the source of news. Also, 'update' should be plural 'updates' to match the context of ongoing information.
× I usually find news in on the Internet from the website of CNN, uh, BBC or sometimes CNBC.
✓ I usually find news on the Internet from the websites of CNN, BBC, or sometimes CNBC.
The correct preposition with 'Internet' is 'on', not 'in'. Also, 'website' should be plural 'websites' because multiple sources are mentioned.
× I never interest on journalism since I was a kid.
✓ I have never been interested in journalism since I was a kid.
The verb 'interest' requires the structure 'be interested in' to express liking something. Also, the tense should be present perfect to indicate an action continuing from the past to present.
× No, I hadn't because I, I have to rush in going to my workplace, uh, because I kind of late in getting up at this morning and so I hadn't read news.
✓ No, I hadn't because I had to rush to my workplace, uh, because I was kind of late getting up this morning, so I hadn't read the news.
The past perfect 'hadn't' is used incorrectly; it should be 'hadn't read the news'. 'Rush in going' is incorrect; 'rush to' is correct. 'Kind of late in getting up at this morning' should be 'was kind of late getting up this morning'. Also, 'the news' requires the definite article.
× I usually talk to my friend to discuss about it
✓ I usually talk to my friend to discuss it
The verb 'discuss' does not require the preposition 'about'. Saying 'discuss about' is incorrect; just 'discuss' is sufficient.
× I usually talk to my friend to discuss about it and I also sometimes talk to my bosses.
✓ I usually talk to my friends to discuss it and I also sometimes talk to my bosses.
Since the speaker refers to multiple bosses, it is consistent to use 'friends' in plural form as well, especially when discussing general habits.
