× There are several benefits by doing this.
✓ There are several benefits to this.
Incorrect preposition with 'there are' phrase; use 'benefits to this' or 'from doing this'. Suggest using 'There are several benefits to this' or 'There are several benefits from doing this' for clarity.
× everyone is busy under pressure, stress and responsibilities.
✓ everyone is busy with pressure, stress, and responsibilities.
Preposition 'under' is not natural with 'pressure' in this context; use 'busy with' to list conditions. Also add commas and 'and' before the last item.
× With a little smile, you can get a positive energy and enhance your confidence.
✓ With a little smile, you can get positive energy and enhance your confidence.
'Energy' is uncountable here so does not need the indefinite article 'a'. Use 'positive energy' for correct noun usage.
× I laugh on the daily basis.
✓ I laugh on a daily basis.
Incorrect article and phrase. The idiomatic expression is 'on a daily basis'. Also present simple is fine for habitual action.
× The last time I laughed when my husband cracked a joke when we were having dinner.
✓ The last time I laughed was when my husband cracked a joke while we were having dinner.
Sentence lacks main verb structure; add 'was' to link 'the last time' clause. Use 'while' for simultaneous actions and keep past simple 'cracked'.
× My husband always make sure to make me happy if I am sad.
✓ My husband always makes sure to make me happy when I am sad.
Subject 'husband' is singular so verb should be 'makes' (third person singular). Also use 'when' instead of 'if' for habitual occurrence.
× I was little worried about my health examination so he was trying to make me happy.
✓ I was a little worried about my health examination, so he tried to make me happy.
Missing article 'a' before 'little'. Use simple past 'tried' to show completed action; comma before 'so' improves readability.
× Making other people laugh could be a difficult task for me.
✓ Making other people laugh can be difficult for me.
'Could be a difficult task' is wordy; 'can be difficult' is more natural for expressing general difficulty. Both are grammatically acceptable but simplified form fits spoken style.
× I believe that I what can I do is I can always and funny jokes on social media which I do everyday.
✓ I believe that what I can do is post funny jokes on social media, which I do every day.
Original has word order errors and missing verbs. Correct order: 'what I can do is' followed by verb 'post'. 'Every day' should be two words, and include commas to separate clauses.
× On the other hand, I can always make sure I do not hurt anybody.
✓ On the other hand, I always make sure I do not hurt anybody.
'Can always make sure' is awkward; use 'always make sure' to state a habitual intention. Pronoun usage is acceptable but tone improved.
× I always watch these movies on TV.
✓ I always watch these movies on TV.
Sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed; present simple appropriately describes habitual action.
× Sometimes I use social media to watch short movies.
✓ Sometimes I use social media to watch short videos.
'Short movies' usually refers to short films; on social media the common term is 'short videos'. This is a lexical correction rather than strict grammar, improving naturalness.
× I believe that it would enhance my mood and get me give me a positive energy.
✓ I believe that it would enhance my mood and give me positive energy.
Redundant words 'get me give me' removed. 'Energy' is uncountable so no article. Use 'give me positive energy' for concise, correct expression.
