Here are some sentences I found in the ESL001 writing review forum:

I usually wake up at 6:00 am and do a bit of exercise then do my morning rituals and eat breakfast around 8:00 am. I usually do a bit of work at home like video editing the time depends on the amount of work. If it's a college day I usually don't accept work. I eat my dinner at 9:00pm and hit the bed at 11:00 pm

This is how I use the punctuation mark on the sentence for more clarity:

I usually wake up at 6:00 a.m., and do a bit of exercise, then complete my morning rituals and eat breakfast around 8:00 a.m. I usually do some work at home, like video editing; the time depends on the amount of work. If it's a college day, I usually don't accept work. I eat dinner at 9:00 p.m. and go to bed at 11:00 p.m.

By using the correct punctuation mark guides the reader through the flow of a sentence, making it easier to understand the intended meaning. It helps clarify the relationships between words, phrases, and clauses.

My Hobby

My hobby is reading books, as it allows me to explore new worlds, gain knowledge, and improve my imagination. I enjoy reading novels, short stories, and poetry, especially in my free time. Books help me relax, reduce stress, and enhance my vocabulary. I prefer reading fiction because it takes me on exciting adventures, but I also enjoy non-fiction for learning new things. Whenever I feel bored, I pick up a book and immerse myself in its pages. Reading has become a part of my daily routine, and I believe it is one of the best hobbies anyone can have.

I wake up everyday at 6:00am, do a bit of exercise, complete my morning rituals, and eat my breakfast around 8:00am. I do some routine work like video editing; depending on the time and the amount of work I have. If it's a school day, I don't usually work. At 9:00pm, I eat my dinner, and go to bed at 11:00pm.
