× That's why I why she is my favorite.
✓ That's why she is my favorite.
The sentence contains a redundant phrase 'I why' which disrupts the sentence structure. Removing 'I why' corrects the sentence to a clear and grammatically correct form.
× No, I'm not in touch with them at all because back then I was too young to have any communication tools like emails or phones to keep in touch with them.
✓ No, I'm not in touch with my primary school teacher at all because back then I was too young to have any communication tools like emails or phones to keep in touch with him or her.
The pronoun 'them' is used to refer to a singular teacher, which is incorrect. It should be replaced with 'him or her' or 'my primary school teacher' to correctly refer to a singular person.
× And we, we are not, we will not live nearby.
✓ And we do not live nearby, and we will not live nearby.
The phrase 'we are not' is incomplete and unclear. Using 'we do not live nearby' correctly expresses the present situation, and 'we will not live nearby' expresses the future situation clearly.
× So we lost contact our graduation.
✓ So we lost contact after our graduation.
The sentence is missing a preposition 'after' to indicate the time when contact was lost. Adding 'after' clarifies the meaning and corrects the sentence structure.
× For example, before presentation she would help me to Polish my work and tell me what point I should improve.
✓ For example, before a presentation she would help me to polish my work and tell me which points I should improve.
The noun 'presentation' requires the indefinite article 'a' because it refers to a specific but not previously mentioned event. Also, 'Polish' should be lowercase as it is a verb here, and 'point' should be plural 'points' to match the context.
× You have to own a master degree at least.
✓ You have to have at least a master's degree.
The verb 'own' is incorrect when referring to academic qualifications; 'have' is the correct verb. Also, 'master degree' should be 'master's degree' and the phrase 'at least' is better placed before the noun phrase for natural English word order.
