× Yes, museums are very important because it helps preserve the historical monuments so that people in the future, they won't forget about the origin of the life that they have.
✓ Yes, museums are very important because they help preserve historical monuments so that people in the future won't forget the origins of their lives.
The subject 'museums' is plural, so the verb must agree: use 'they help' not 'it helps' (subject-verb agreement). Remove the redundant pronoun 'they' after 'people in the future' and use 'the origins of their lives' to make the noun phrase natural and grammatically correct. Also drop the definite article before 'historical monuments' unless referring to specific monuments.
× Yes, I was from Bandung, and in Bandung we have a lot of museums, just like, uh, museums Sri Baruga, where you can find a lot of artifacts coming from the prehistoric moments.
✓ Yes, I am from Bandung, and we have many museums there, such as Museum Sri Baruga, where you can find many artifacts from prehistoric times.
Use 'I am from Bandung' for current origin rather than past tense 'I was'. Use 'many' instead of 'a lot of' for more formal speech and 'there' to indicate location. Correct the museum name order to 'Museum Sri Baruga' and replace 'coming from the prehistoric moments' with 'from prehistoric times' (natural preposition and noun choice). This fixes tense, word order, preposition use, and awkward phrasing.
× I haven't got a chance to visit museums as of now, but two years ago I visited UMM Singapore National Museum.
✓ I haven't had a chance to visit many museums so far, but two years ago I visited the National Museum of Singapore.
Use 'haven't had' rather than 'haven't got' for more standard present perfect construction in this context. Add 'many' to clarify plural 'museums' and replace 'as of now' with 'so far'. Correct the museum name to the common English form 'the National Museum of Singapore' for clarity and naturalness.
× It displays the historical monuments and also the history of the origin of Singapore.
✓ It displays historical monuments and also the history of Singapore's origins.
No tense change needed, but improve noun phrase and possessive: 'Singapore's origins' is more natural than 'the history of the origin of Singapore'. Remove the definite article before 'historical monuments' unless specific monuments are meant. This addresses awkward noun phrasing and article use.
× I think it was two years ago when I visited the National Museum of Singapore. In that museum, I learned about the origin of Singapore, like their cultural artifacts and also how they built the country.
✓ I think it was two years ago when I visited the National Museum of Singapore. In that museum, I learned about the origins of Singapore, such as its cultural artifacts and how the country was built.
'Origins' (plural) and 'its' (singular possessive for Singapore) are more appropriate than 'their'. Use 'such as' instead of 'like' for examples in formal speech. 'How the country was built' is clearer and uses passive past to describe historical processes. These fixes correct pronoun usage, noun choice, and phrasing.
