× I usually relax while I was bathing or I'll, uh, or before sleep that I will, uh, light up, uh, incense for relaxation.
✓ I usually relax while I am bathing or, uh, before sleep I light up, uh, incense for relaxation.
The sentence incorrectly mixes past tense 'was' with present habitual action 'usually relax'. To describe habitual actions, present tense should be used consistently. Therefore, 'was' should be changed to 'am' and 'will' to simple present 'light up' to match the habitual context.
× Well, that's a difficult question because I found that I can't relax when I was, when I am with somebody.
✓ Well, that's a difficult question because I find that I can't relax when I am with somebody.
The sentence incorrectly uses past tense 'found' and 'was' when describing a general truth or current feeling. Present tense 'find' and 'am' should be used to express ongoing or habitual states.
× And probably if I had to say one, uh, it will be my family.
✓ And probably if I had to say one, uh, it would be my family.
The conditional clause 'if I had to say one' requires the modal verb 'would' in the main clause to express hypothetical situation correctly, not 'will' which is used for future certainty.
× If I am searching for pieces and seeking for relaxation, I'll probably listen to those Japanese traditional music about sand or temples.
✓ If I am searching for peace and seeking relaxation, I'll probably listen to traditional Japanese music about sand or temples.
The phrase 'searching for pieces' is incorrect; it should be 'searching for peace'. Also, 'seeking for' is incorrect; the verb 'seek' does not require 'for'. Additionally, 'Japanese traditional music' is better phrased as 'traditional Japanese music' for natural adjective order.
× Uh to relax, I usually will like the incense inside my room and then play traditional Japanese music which creates a calm and Zen vibes in my room so that I can have AI can feel like I am in a personal private.
✓ Uh, to relax, I usually light incense inside my room and then play traditional Japanese music which creates a calm and Zen vibe in my room so that I can feel like I am in a personal private space.
The phrase 'will like the incense' is incorrect; 'like' is not the intended verb here. It should be 'light incense'. 'Calm and Zen vibes' should be singular 'vibe' to agree with 'a calm and Zen vibe'. The phrase 'I can have AI can feel' is ungrammatical and should be corrected to 'I can feel'. Also, 'personal private' is incomplete and should be followed by a noun such as 'space'.
