× So stayed at home and used the time to get ready for next school year.
✓ So I stayed at home and used the time to get ready for the next school year.
The sentence lacks a subject 'I' and the article 'the' before 'next school year' is missing, which are necessary for correct sentence structure and clarity.

✓ For example, summer holidays in Vietnam can be 3 months, which is usually time to relax, travel, and spend time playing games after busy school years.
The sentence is missing the verb 'is' after 'which' and the phrase 'spend time to play games' should be 'spend time playing games' to use the correct gerund form after 'spend time'.
× This longer breaks help me relax.

× Well, I love the national holiday the best because government usually gives every people 1000 Vietnamese Dong as a gift.
✓ Well, I love the national holiday the best because the government usually gives every person 1000 Vietnamese Dong as a gift.

✓ Besides, national days are the time when people celebrate and parade fireworks which create joy.
The subject 'national days' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' not 'is'. Also, 'parades' should be 'parade' to agree with plural subject 'people'. 'Joyful' is an adjective; the noun 'joy' is correct here.

✓ Well, I prefer a leisurely holiday to a busy holiday because busy holidays are quite hot, which makes me feel tired and I don't have good mental health.

× So leisurely holidays make me feel relaxed and it's helped me to prepare for the holiday more useful and creative.
✓ So leisurely holidays make me feel relaxed and they help me prepare for the holiday in a more useful and creative way.
