× I spend mode of time studying, umm, and sometimes I will sleep there because you know, umm, study, get tired, see very easily.
✓ I spend most of my time studying, umm, and sometimes I sleep there because, you know, umm, studying makes me tired and I get sleepy very easily.
The phrase 'mode of time' is incorrect; it should be 'most of my time' to express the majority of time spent. Also, 'sometimes I will sleep' is better as 'sometimes I sleep' to indicate habitual action. The phrase 'study, get tired, see very easily' is unclear and grammatically incorrect; it should be 'studying makes me tired and I get sleepy very easily' to convey the intended meaning clearly.
× Actually, I'm not very into reading. When I was a kid, I actually preferred a more outdoor activities like baseball, basketball, soccer and hiking.
✓ Actually, I'm not very into reading. When I was a kid, I actually preferred more outdoor activities like baseball, basketball, soccer and hiking.
The phrase 'a more outdoor activities' is incorrect because 'activities' is plural and should not be preceded by the singular article 'a'. Removing 'a' and 'more' together clarifies the plural noun usage. The correct phrase is 'more outdoor activities'.
× Well, actually not quite off, not quite often.
✓ Well, actually not quite often.
The phrase 'not quite off' is incorrect and likely a mispronunciation or misuse of 'often'. The correct phrase is 'not quite often' to indicate frequency. This correction addresses the singular/plural confusion and word choice.
× I wasn't very into books when I was a kid because I think reading is somehow too boring for me and I prefer more outdoor activities like basketball or dancing or hiking or something like that.
✓ I wasn't very into books when I was a kid because I thought reading was somehow too boring for me and I preferred more outdoor activities like basketball, dancing, hiking, or something like that.
The sentence mixes past and present tense; 'think' and 'prefer' should be in past tense 'thought' and 'preferred' to match 'wasn't'. Also, listing activities should be consistent with commas and 'or' before the last item. This correction improves tense consistency and list formatting.
× Well, not really. I I was not very into books when I was a kid. Actually. I preferred more outdoor activities like basketball, soccer, baseball and hiking.
✓ Well, not really. I was not very into books when I was a kid. Actually, I preferred more outdoor activities like basketball, soccer, baseball, and hiking.
The repeated 'I' is a speech disfluency and should be removed for clarity. Also, commas should be used properly in the list of activities, including a comma before 'and' (Oxford comma) for clarity. This correction improves sentence clarity and punctuation.
