× Yes, I am interested in news because it is very important to know about what is happened surrounding me as due to this I always communicate with my father what's happening surrounding me and we communicate about different different things.
✓ Yes, I am interested in news because it is very important to know what is happening around me; because of this I always tell my father about what is happening around me and we talk about many different things.
Errors: incorrect use of past form 'is happened' instead of present progressive 'is happening' and awkward phrasing 'surrounding me'. Use present progressive to describe ongoing situations. Replace 'as due to this' with 'because of this' and 'communicate' with simpler 'tell' and 'talk' for clarity. Remove duplicate word 'different'.
× Most of the time I like to read news from my mobile phone because I am unable to carry the newspaper with me every time.
✓ Most of the time I like to read news on my mobile phone because I am unable to carry a newspaper with me all the time.
Use preposition 'on' with 'mobile phone' for digital content. Replace 'the newspaper' with 'a newspaper' or 'newspapers' and 'every time' with 'all the time'. No change to verb forms necessary beyond preposition and article adjustments (present participle not required).
× But I always have a mobile phone so I read the news like 1-1 hour on my daily basis.
✓ I always have a mobile phone so I read the news for about an hour every day.
Use 'for about an hour' to express duration and 'every day' for daily frequency. 'On my daily basis' is incorrect; use 'every day'. Avoid 'like 1-1 hour' which is informal and unclear.
× Well, I like to read news, but I'm not, uh, too deeply to know about the things because sometimes I feel very bored to do this kinds of things, so that's why.
✓ Well, I like to read the news, but I'm not too interested in studying things in depth because sometimes I find it boring to do these kinds of things.
Use definite article 'the news'. Replace 'too deeply to know about the things' with 'not too interested in studying things in depth'. Verb agreement: 'I find it boring' is correct instead of 'I feel very bored to do'. Use plural 'these kinds of things'.
× Yes, I always read the news in the morning time after that, I'm just doing the conversation with my father.
✓ Yes, I always read the news in the morning; after that I usually have a conversation with my father.
Use 'usually have a conversation' rather than 'I'm just doing the conversation'. 'Morning time' -> 'in the morning'. Maintain simple present for habitual actions.
× I read this, what's happening next? Why people do some kind of things be like that.
✓ I read about what is happening next and why people do things like that.
Replace awkward clause with 'I read about what is happening' and use proper word order 'why people do things like that'. Remove unnecessary 'some kind of' and incorrect 'be like that'.
× So this is very good way to communicate with my father and sitting sometime.
✓ So this is a very good way to communicate with my father and to spend time together sometimes.
Missing article 'a' before 'very good way'. 'Sitting sometime' is ungrammatical; replace with 'to spend time together sometimes' for correct meaning and structure.
× Most of the time when me and my friends were together and we are just discuss about the news because some people like uh to read news in different language and we are not uh, sure about what's happening in their country or who is in.
✓ Most of the time when my friends and I are together we just discuss the news because some people like to read the news in different languages and we are not sure about what is happening in their countries or who is in charge.
Use subject 'my friends and I' not 'me and my friends'. Maintain present tense 'are together' for habitual action and 'discuss' (no 'are' before discuss). Use plural 'languages' and 'countries'. Clarify 'who is in' to 'who is in charge' or 'who is in power'.
× So we are always discussed what's happening in our country or in their countries.
✓ So we always discuss what is happening in our country or in their countries.
'Are discussed' is incorrect passive/perfect mix; use simple present 'discuss' for habitual action. Ensure correct verb form for present habitual context.
