× I am a kind of introverse person.
✓ I am somewhat introverted.
'Introverse' is not the correct adjective; the correct adjective is 'introverted'. 'A kind of' is informal and awkward; 'somewhat' or 'a bit' fits better. Use 'introverted' to describe personality traits.
× I may not have party goers because I am a kind of introverse person.
✓ I may not have partygoers because I am somewhat introverted.
'Party goers' should be one word 'partygoers' or hyphenated; also keep noun form consistent. Combined with corrected adjective and improved phrasing, the sentence becomes natural.
× How often did you have a party when you were a kid?
✓ How often did you have parties when you were a kid?
When asking about habitual past actions, use the plural 'parties' (pluralization) to match frequency adverbs. The past tense 'did you have' is correct; only the noun number needed adjustment.
× I remember when I was elementary school student, I often went to classmates birthday party almost every month.
✓ I remember when I was an elementary school student, I often went to my classmates' birthday parties almost every month.
Missing indefinite article 'an' before 'elementary school student'; possessive apostrophe and plural needed for 'classmates' birthdays' (correct: classmates' birthday parties) and plural 'parties' to match 'almost every month.' Also add possessive 'my' for clarity.
× Ah yes, I have, especially when I was an elementary school student.
✓ Ah yes, I have, especially when I was an elementary school student.
'I have' (present perfect) can be used for experience, but following 'especially when I was...' refers to the past; this sentence is acceptable as is. No grammatical correction required.
× I live in a school dorm and we often have a birthday party.
✓ I lived in a school dorm and we often had birthday parties.
The speaker refers to past time ('when I was an elementary school student'), so use past tense 'lived' and 'had'. Also 'birthday party' should be plural 'birthday parties' for habitual events.
× We prepare snacks, food, and drinks, and those are very, uh, fond memories.
✓ We prepared snacks, food, and drinks, and those are very fond memories.
Change verbs to past tense 'prepared' to match past context. Remove filler 'uh' and keep 'very fond memories' — 'fond' correctly describes 'memories.'
