× Actually, if it's a subject, I may not like it.
✓ Actually, if it's a subject, I might not like it.
The modal verb 'may' is used to express possibility but 'might' is more appropriate here to express a hypothetical or less certain situation.
× But if you say some documentary or movies about geography, I may like it because it's so beautiful and interesting.
✓ But if you say some documentaries or movies about geography, I might like them because they're so beautiful and interesting.
The modal verb 'may' should be replaced with 'might' to express a hypothetical situation. Also, 'documentary' should be plural 'documentaries' to match 'movies', and pronouns should agree in number.
× Yes it does because you need to navigate the roads when you lost and also sometimes you need to point the road.
✓ Yes, it does because you need to navigate the roads when you are lost and also sometimes you need to point out the road.
The phrase 'when you lost' is missing the auxiliary verb 'are' for present tense. Also, 'point the road' should be 'point out the road' to use the correct phrasal verb.
× When someone ask the roads.
✓ When someone asks for directions.
The verb 'ask' needs to be in third person singular 'asks' to agree with 'someone'. Also, 'ask the roads' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'ask for directions'.
× Yes. As I said, I learned geography when I was in high school and I didn't prefer, I didn't perform well in that subject.
✓ Yes. As I said, I learned geography when I was in high school and I didn't prefer it; I didn't perform well in that subject.
The verb 'prefer' is not usually used in the past tense without an object; adding 'it' clarifies the meaning. Also, a semicolon or conjunction improves sentence flow.
× So I don't like, I didn't like it at that time.
✓ So I didn't like it at that time.
The phrase 'I don't like' is inconsistent with the past time reference 'at that time'. It should be 'I didn't like it' to maintain past tense consistency.
× No, because I'm not so into geography. Plus being a teacher leads to shoulder a duty that is enormous and big, so I prefer.
✓ No, because I'm not so into geography. Plus, being a teacher means shouldering a duty that is enormous and big, so I prefer not to.
The phrase 'leads to shoulder a duty' is incorrect; it should be 'means shouldering a duty'. Also, the sentence ends abruptly; adding 'not to' clarifies the preference.
× Yeah, because I want to travel some foreign countries, so I need to do some plans about them.
✓ Yeah, because I want to travel to some foreign countries, so I need to make some plans about them.
The verb 'do some plans' is incorrect; the correct collocation is 'make some plans'. Also, 'travel some foreign countries' should be 'travel to some foreign countries' with the preposition 'to'.
× Like Japan. I know it not not far from China, and it was surrounded by mountains.
✓ Like Japan. I know it is not far from China, and it is surrounded by mountains.
The phrase 'it not not far' contains a repeated 'not' and is missing the verb 'is'. Also, 'was surrounded' suggests past tense, but the geographical fact is present, so 'is surrounded' is correct.
