× No, I don't often send e-mail because I think now is more popular to using another communication tools like Instagram, WhatsApp and WeChat and I will send e-mail when I need to communicate with my teacher.
✓ No, I don't often send e-mail because I think it is more popular now to use other communication tools like Instagram, WhatsApp and WeChat, and I send e-mail when I need to communicate with my teacher.
The original sentence uses the incorrect verb form 'to using' after 'popular'. After expressions like 'is popular to' we need the infinitive 'to use' or better rephrase as 'it is more popular now to use'. Also 'another communication tools' mixes singular 'another' with plural 'tools'; use 'other communication tools'. 'I will send e-mail when I need' is acceptable but 'I send e-mail when I need' fits habitual action better. Suggestion: use the base form after 'to' and match singular/plural (use 'other' + plural).
× When I'm studying, if I meet some difficulty of my classes, I will send e-mail to the teacher and ask about some skills and help.
✓ When I'm studying, if I encounter some difficulties in my classes, I will send an e-mail to the teacher and ask for guidance and help.
The phrase 'meet some difficulty of my classes' is incorrect. Use 'encounter difficulties in my classes' or 'have difficulties with my classes'. Also use the article 'an e-mail' and the correct preposition 'ask for' when requesting something. 'Ask about some skills and help' is unclear; use 'ask for guidance and help'.
× Note I don't think sending e-mail is popular in China because umm I think umm people is always using WeChat to communicate with other and WeChat can provide the video called that e-mail cannot.
✓ I don't think sending e-mail is popular in China because people are always using WeChat to communicate with others, and WeChat can provide video features that e-mail cannot.
The subject 'people' requires the plural verb form; use 'people are' not 'people is'. 'Communicate with other' should be 'communicate with others'. The phrase 'can provide the video called that e-mail cannot' is ungrammatical; rephrase to 'can provide video features that e-mail cannot'. Also remove filler words like 'umm' and unnecessary 'Note'.
× I think sending e-mail will less popular in the future because e-mail cannot umm provide instant message and instant communication.
✓ I think sending e-mail will be less popular in the future because e-mail cannot provide instant messaging and instant communication.
After 'will' we need the base verb or 'be' when describing a state: use 'will be less popular' not 'will less popular'. 'Provide instant message' is wrong; use the noun 'instant messaging' or 'instant messages'. Remove filler 'umm'.
× I think in the future, communication instantly is really important and significant for working and studying.
✓ I think in the future, instant communication will be really important and significant for work and study.
The phrase 'communication instantly' mixes noun and adverb incorrectly; use 'instant communication' (adjective + noun). Also 'for working and studying' is awkward—use 'for work and study' or 'for working and for studying'. Adding 'will be' clarifies future importance. Suggestion: use correct adjective order and noun forms and include auxiliary verbs for future statements.
