範例: Not really. I mostly use messaging apps such as WeChat and WhatsApp for daily chats because they deliver messages instantly and are easier for group conversations. For example, I coordinate plans with friends in group chats rather than writing emails.

× No, I don't usually send emails in my daily life.
✓ No, I don't usually send emails in my daily life.
Keep as is. 'Emails' is correctly plural; no article needed. (No correction required.)
× Instead, I often use messaging apps like online and WhatsApp because it is more useful than sending emails.
✓ Instead, I often use online messaging apps like WhatsApp because they are more useful than sending emails.
Use of 'online' should modify 'messaging apps' (adjective placement). 'Like online and WhatsApp' is incorrect. Also 'it is' should agree with plural 'apps', so use 'they are'. Suggest reordering to 'online messaging apps like WhatsApp'.
× I usually send emails when I have to inform important and formal matters like job opportunities and the job assignment to my colleagues because I have to record on it by the words.
✓ I usually send emails when I have to inform colleagues of important and formal matters, such as job opportunities and assignments, because I need to record them in writing.
Problems: incorrect preposition 'inform ... to' should be 'inform ... of' (11), awkward phrasing 'important and formal matters like job opportunities and the job assignment' improved to 'such as job opportunities and assignments'. 'Record on it by the words' is ungrammatical; use 'record them in writing'. Also verb tense/patterns adjusted to present simple consistency.
× It depends.
✓ It depends.
Sentence is correct as is; 'It depends' needs no change. (Included as confirmation; no correction needed.)
× For example, if you are a business person, you have to send many emails because it is a customary for Chinese business people and entrepreneurs to interact by sending emails.
✓ For example, if you are a businessperson, you have to send many emails because it is customary for Chinese businesspeople and entrepreneurs to communicate by email.
Use 'businessperson' or 'business person' consistently and remove extra article 'a' before 'customary' ('it is customary' is correct). 'Interact by sending emails' is awkward; 'communicate by email' is more natural. Also prefer 'businesspeople' as plural and 'email' (uncountable) rather than 'emails' in that phrase.
× However, younger people tend to use messaging apps like WhatsApp.
✓ However, younger people tend to use messaging apps like WhatsApp.
Sentence is correct as is; present tense 'tend to use' is appropriate. (No correction needed.)
× I definitely believe that sending emails will be less popular in the near future because there are various types of useful and convenient messaging apps such as WhatsApp and WeChat.
✓ I definitely believe that sending emails will become less popular in the near future because there are many useful and convenient messaging apps such as WhatsApp and WeChat.
'Will be less popular' is acceptable, but 'become less popular' is more natural for a change over time. 'Various types of' is wordy; 'many' is simpler. Tense remains future; no major change beyond style improvement.
× I think the IT industries will try to improve the famous function.
✓ I think the IT industry will try to improve popular features.
Problems: 'IT industries' should be singular collective 'IT industry' or 'IT industries' without 'the' depending on meaning; 'famous function' is unnatural—use 'popular features'. Also 'features' is plural to match 'improve'. This correction keeps future intent while using natural collocations.
