× When I come back to my work, I usually eat with my girlfriend and we often buy some candies and chocolate bars.
✓ When I come back from work, I usually eat with my girlfriend and we often buy some candies and chocolate bars.
You used the preposition 'to' incorrectly with 'come back'. The correct phrase is 'come back from work' to indicate returning from a place. Suggestion: use 'come back from' for returning from locations (e.g., 'come back from school').
× I believe that snacks are harmful for our health if we eat too much, if, uh, we can reduce their consumption, we don't have any problems.
✓ I believe that snacks are harmful to our health if we eat too much; if we can reduce their consumption, we won't have any problems.
Two issues: 'harmful for' is less natural than 'harmful to' in this context (preposition choice), and 'we don't have any problems' should reflect the future consequence with 'we won't have any problems'. Suggestion: use 'harmful to' and use appropriate future form ('won't') for results that depend on reducing consumption.
× Yes, when I was young I used to eat snacks because my mother usually bought to me and my siblings several snacks.
✓ Yes, when I was young I used to eat snacks because my mother usually bought me and my siblings several snacks.
The verb 'buy' does not take the preposition 'to' before the indirect object. Use the indirect object directly ('bought me') or use 'bought snacks for me and my siblings'. Suggestion: remove 'to' or rephrase as 'bought snacks for me and my siblings'.
× For example, we often ate candies and sugar bars.
✓ For example, we often ate candies and candy bars.
'Sugar bars' is an unusual collocation in English; the common term is 'candy bars' or 'chocolate bars'. Suggestion: use established collocations like 'candy bars' or 'chocolate bars' for clarity.
× My favorite flavor is white chocolate, but I also like brown and dark chocolate.
✓ My favorite flavor is white chocolate, but I also like milk and dark chocolate.
'Brown chocolate' is not the standard term in English; 'milk chocolate' is the common term for the lighter variety. Suggestion: use 'milk chocolate' instead of 'brown chocolate'.
× I don't like, uh, chocolate with fruits or other addition.
✓ I don't like chocolate with fruit or other additions.
'Fruits' in this context should be the uncountable 'fruit' when referring to fruit as a flavor/ingredient, and 'addition' should be plural 'additions' to refer to other ingredients. Suggestion: use 'fruit' and pluralize 'additions' when speaking generally.
