× Yes, I sent e-mail on many purposes.
✓ Yes, I send emails for many purposes.
The student used the past tense 'sent' incorrectly when referring to a habitual action. The present tense 'send' is appropriate here to indicate regular activity.
× I sent e-mail on many purposes.
✓ I send emails for many purposes.
The preposition 'on' is incorrectly used with 'purposes'. The correct preposition is 'for' to indicate the reason or purpose of sending emails.
× When I have to communicate with my work officials, I just send them there.
✓ When I have to communicate with my work officials, I just send emails to them.
The pronoun 'them' is used incorrectly with 'there'. 'There' is an adverb of place and does not fit here. The correct phrase is 'send emails to them'.
× It is used formally to communicate and often used for the official works.
✓ It is used formally to communicate and is often used for official work.
The pronoun 'It' is repeated without a verb in the second clause. Adding 'is' clarifies the sentence. Also, 'works' should be 'work' as an uncountable noun here.
× I would send emails for my work purposes when I have to tell my colleagues and clients about the work schedule and also for updating them.
✓ I would send emails for my work purposes when I have to tell my colleagues and clients about the work schedule and also to update them.
The phrase 'for updating them' is incorrect. The correct infinitive form 'to update them' should be used to express purpose.
× Because emails provide a working record which is very efficient and a working environment.
✓ Emails provide a working record which is very efficient and create a good working environment.
The sentence fragment starting with 'Because' is incomplete. Also, the conjunction 'and' connects two different ideas that need to be clearly expressed with verbs.
× Yes, it is very popular in China, especially for the professional purposes, and often people use it to communicate for official information.
✓ Yes, it is very popular in China, especially for professional purposes, and people often use it to communicate official information.
The preposition 'for' before 'official information' is unnecessary. Also, 'the professional purposes' should be 'professional purposes' without 'the'.
× But it is not as popular because for communicating with friends, people in my country use other means for communication.
✓ But it is not as popular because, for communicating with friends, people in my country use other means of communication.
The phrase 'means for communication' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'means of communication'. Also, a comma after 'because' improves clarity.
× I think in this fast phased world, emails would be less popular because as the technology is innovating, there will be something new there that will substitute emails in that place.
✓ I think in this fast-paced world, emails will be less popular because as technology innovates, there will be something new that will replace emails.
'Fast phased' is incorrect; the correct adjective is 'fast-paced'. 'Would be' should be 'will be' to express future certainty. 'Is innovating' should be 'innovates' for present simple tense. 'Substitute emails in that place' is awkward; 'replace emails' is better.
