× Yes, I prefer watching my face in early morning using mirror because it is quite effective to check my condition of mentality and physicality.
✓ Yes, I prefer watching my face in the early morning using a mirror because it is quite effective to check my mental and physical condition.
The phrase 'in early morning' requires the definite article 'the' to specify the time of day. Also, 'using mirror' needs the indefinite article 'a' before 'mirror'. Additionally, 'condition of mentality and physicality' is unnatural; 'mental and physical condition' is the correct collocation.
× Yes, four years ago I practiced baseball so often and it was unnecessary for me to check the moving of batting or throwing a ball, so I bought quite big mirror.
✓ Yes, four years ago I practiced baseball often and it was unnecessary for me to check the movement of batting or throwing a ball, so I bought a quite big mirror.
The phrase 'so often' is awkward here; 'often' alone is sufficient. 'Moving of batting or throwing a ball' is incorrect; 'movement' is the correct noun. Also, 'quite big mirror' needs the indefinite article 'a' before 'quite big mirror'.
× No, I don't usually take a mirror when I go outside. Instead my wife always take her hand mirror so when I have to check my face or my clothes I always borrow it from her.
✓ No, I don't usually take a mirror when I go outside. Instead, my wife always takes her hand mirror, so when I have to check my face or my clothes, I always borrow it from her.
The verb 'take' must agree with the third person singular subject 'my wife', so it should be 'takes'. Also, commas are needed after 'Instead' and before 'so' to improve sentence clarity.
× Yes, I use two mirrors to decorate my room. You think some mirrors can help me feel that my room is bigger than reality, so I use it.
✓ Yes, I use two mirrors to decorate my room. I think some mirrors can help me feel that my room is bigger than it really is, so I use them.
The sentence incorrectly uses 'You think' instead of 'I think'. Also, 'use it' is incorrect because 'mirrors' is plural, so it should be 'use them'. The phrase 'bigger than reality' is unnatural; 'bigger than it really is' is more appropriate.
