× I used to eat chocolate most of the time and I preferred that drink tea with chocolate, specially fruit, chocolate and so on.
✓ I used to eat chocolate most of the time and I preferred to drink tea with chocolate, especially fruit chocolate and so on.
The phrase 'preferred that drink tea' is incorrect. The verb 'prefer' should be followed by 'to' plus the base verb form, so 'preferred to drink' is correct. Also, 'specially' should be 'especially' as it is the correct adverb to indicate emphasis.
× But nowadays no, because I always I'm on a diet and I prefer to eat another thing instead of chocolate.
✓ But nowadays no, because I am always on a diet and I prefer to eat other things instead of chocolate.
The phrase 'I always I'm on a diet' is incorrect; 'I am always on a diet' is correct. Also, 'another thing' should be 'other things' to match the plural context. The verb 'am' is needed for the present continuous tense.
× Because I currently on a diet, I prefer to eat healthier snacks like fruit, nuts instead of, uh, chocolates.
✓ Because I am currently on a diet, I prefer to eat healthier snacks like fruit and nuts instead of chocolates.
The sentence is missing the verb 'am' after 'I' to form the present continuous tense 'I am currently'. Also, 'fruit, nuts instead of, uh, chocolates' should be 'fruit and nuts instead of chocolates' for clarity and correct conjunction use.
× When I was a kid I used to eat chocolate, specially with milk as a snack and when I went to school I prefer to carry chocolate with myself to eat in a school with my friends.
✓ When I was a kid, I used to eat chocolate, especially with milk as a snack, and when I went to school, I preferred to carry chocolate with me to eat at school with my friends.
The word 'specially' should be 'especially' to indicate emphasis. 'Prefer' should be in past tense 'preferred' to match 'when I went to school'. 'Carry chocolate with myself' is incorrect; it should be 'carry chocolate with me'. Also, 'in a school' should be 'at school' as the correct preposition for location in this context.
× The chocolate is very popular in our country because it boosts our energy.
✓ Chocolate is very popular in our country because it boosts our energy.
The definite article 'The' is unnecessary before 'chocolate' when speaking generally about chocolate as a substance or category. Omitting 'The' makes the sentence more natural.
× When we eat chocolate, we can do all of things that we like and I think that it's sweetie is very popular in my country, especially with tea, milk and as a snack.
✓ When we eat chocolate, we can do all the things that we like, and I think that sweets are very popular in my country, especially with tea, milk, and as a snack.
'All of things' should be 'all the things'. 'It's sweetie is' is incorrect; 'sweets are' is the correct plural noun and verb agreement. Also, commas are added for clarity.
× As well, I don't like chocolate more, but if I want to buy or eat some chocolate, I prefer to eat fruit.
✓ Also, I don't like chocolate anymore, but if I want to buy or eat some chocolate, I prefer to eat fruit.
'As well' is better replaced with 'Also' at the beginning of the sentence. 'Don't like chocolate more' should be 'don't like chocolate anymore' to express cessation. The sentence is corrected for natural expression.
× But the bitter chocolate is better for me. I think that it's more healthier.
✓ But bitter chocolate is better for me. I think that it's healthier.
'The bitter chocolate' should be 'bitter chocolate' when speaking generally. 'More healthier' is incorrect because 'healthier' is already a comparative adjective; 'more' is redundant.
× I prefer to buy something else, for example flower or coffee and something like this instead of buying chocolate for others as a gift.
✓ I prefer to buy something else, for example flowers or coffee and things like that instead of buying chocolate for others as a gift.
'Flower' should be plural 'flowers' when speaking generally. 'Something like this' is better expressed as 'things like that' to refer to similar items.
