Sample:
    Everyone has different ways of spending his or her free time. As for     me, I usually do reading when I have free time. Most of    the time,(“the”     is necessary here) I read alone. I think              When I was young, my parents were always    (emphasize “always” to give it a     stronger feel) busy working.;    Therefore, they bought    me a lot of     (“a lot of” gives tells the reader more     than just buying “books”) books to     keep me company (You are not wrong,     but try “keeping me company” as a variation) accompany me.     Through reading, I have     (“have made”, “have eaten”, “have taken”)    made friends with the Three     Little Pigs, Snow White, Red Riding     (Don't forget the “Riding”) Hood,     and so on. Since then, reading is     has become     (“Has become” stresses the fact that     it was never before) an important part of my life. Books,     magazines, (No “,” when you have the     “or”) or newspaper are very handy     to carry around with. (emphasize     that you want to “carry them around”) The    smallness of sizes and the    lightweights    (“sizes and weights” is not wrong, but     sounds like an expression used in your science books) of     reading materials made it very convenient     for me to put them into my handbag.     (Make your description more graphic, like “putting in your handbag”     so the reader will try to picture or imagine what you are doing)    so various that I can pick up any size of them with me at anytime.    Besides, Moreover,    (meaning besides) I can read     whenever and wherever (meaning     anytime and anywhere) I choose to.    at anytime, Even just a     shred during an interval     (Not “shred of time” but “interval of time”)    of time, like waiting for a bus or     at     break time  at  in     school or at work.;    Some people even use time to     read while they are in the toilets. In short, I can enjoy reading no     matter when or where.
             In addition to the convenience, reading     also    (“also” because it is an additional     point you are making) enriches my life, brings    gives     (“bring” is not wrong.)     me a lot of fun, and releases    me from the my pressures    of modern living.(Pressure     from what? Why not tell the reader it is from modern living)     I live in Taiwan and I'm an elementary school teacher. While reading     books on of travel,    like “Lonely Planet” for example     (“Lonely Planet” is a popular book about travel),     I would got to know what    about other countries are like     and what their cultures and customs     too. ; also, I can also get     to (“get to know” as in trying or     attempting to find out about something)    would know about     other peoples' stories through     reading their biographies.     Besides, while reading, When I am     immersed    (“immersed” as in very indulged or     very focused in doing something) in     a novel (Novel, why not tell what     you are reading) for example,    I share can experience    (“share's is alright, but experience     is a feeling of been into something physically. A more powerful way     to describe your feelings) the same feelings,     such as excitement, sadness and     happiness, with the characters in    the books. I went to the Hogwarts     with Harry Potter, fell in love with Romeo and Juliet, and decoded     secret ancient codes with The Da Vinci Code; all of which brought me    enormous pleasure.(“enormous”     means “big or huge”) such a good time. With    Through reading, I can forget     all about this material set aside all     the cares of this material (or all     the woes of this world. Meaning the worries or concerns)     world and just dive into the world books provide. Reading relieves     me from the burdens of the life,     and serves as an outlet for my frustrations.(An     “outlet” is a “channel” and in this context, it means to vent your     anger, or frustrations)
             I usually do reading alone when I have free time. Reading alone     doesn't make me antisocial.(“Antisocial”     means not wanting to be around people or doing things that others     disapprove of, socially)  mean     that I don't like to read with others.,    It is just because most of time,     I'm I happen to be     (“Happen to be” means “by chance” like “I     happened to see him at the department store) alone when I     have free time. In short, doing reading when I'm free can broaden my     horizons, (Your “horizons” are the     things you know, or your knowledge base, so to speak) mind     make me happy, and help me relax.
