× Well, most of the fine I find news on social media or sometime even on the television.
✓ Well, most of the time I find news on social media or sometimes even on the television.
The phrase 'most of the fine' is incorrect; the correct quantifier is 'most of the time' to indicate frequency. Also, 'sometime' should be 'sometimes' to correctly express occasional occurrence.
× Yes, I would like to be journalist because it offers opportunity to explore different topics and share important information with the public.
✓ Yes, I would like to be a journalist because it offers opportunities to explore different topics and share important information with the public.
The noun 'journalist' requires the indefinite article 'a' before it. Also, 'opportunity' should be plural 'opportunities' to match the plural 'different topics' and to sound natural.
× Yes, I did look up for news this morning so I can be updated about what's happening in the world.
✓ Yes, I did look up news this morning so I can be updated about what's happening in the world.
The phrasal verb 'look up' does not require the preposition 'for' after it. Including 'for' is incorrect in this context.
× For example, I saw news what's happening in Jamaica about volcanic eruption.
✓ For example, I saw news about what's happening in Jamaica regarding the volcanic eruption.
The original sentence lacks proper prepositions and article usage. 'News about' is correct, and 'regarding the volcanic eruption' clarifies the topic. Also, 'volcanic eruption' needs the definite article 'the'.
× Moreover, I saw air pollution affecting the city of Delhi.
✓ Moreover, I saw that air pollution is affecting the city of Delhi.
The original sentence is understandable but incomplete. Adding 'that' and the verb 'is' makes the sentence grammatically complete and clearer.
× Yes, whenever I meet my friends and we have enough time, we discuss about what's happening and we share our thoughts and opinions.
✓ Yes, whenever I meet my friends and we have enough time, we discuss what's happening and we share our thoughts and opinions.
The verb 'discuss' does not require the preposition 'about' after it. Including 'about' is incorrect.
× Sometimes we do contradict on our opinions.
✓ Sometimes we do contradict each other on our opinions.
The verb 'contradict' is transitive and usually requires an object. Adding 'each other' clarifies the reciprocal action. Also, 'on our opinions' is acceptable but could be omitted for simplicity.
