Good attempt!

Feedback

Yesterday, I watched a video about what to do instead of quitting social media apps entirely. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/q36ZOv-K1tI?si=waAmJ-F69uiJGDfb

She's also an English learner like you, so it shouldn't be a difficult watch.

But if you think deleting is better for you, you can quit entirely .

This is all correct

Recently, I've been thinking about doing a digital detox.

"I've been thinking about digital detoxes" - you are thinking about the general concept of a digital detox. If this is what you meant, we tend to make the noun plural: "Being a forester, I think about trees a lot", "When I was a kid, I really liked dinosaurs", etc

We are takbeing a shower ofed with information every day, and I feelthink it's makesing me tired.

I think I agree with another user's point on this, but you could also say you're being showered *with* something.

Watching YouTube, searching on the internet, on the trains, in the taxis, or even just walking the streets, it's toso hard to avoid commercials and unnecessary information.

In addition, we can easily get the news from all over the world due to the development of the internet.

When talking about news in general, I would drop the "the".

I know it's important to stay informed, but there is just too much, especially all the sad orand frightening newsstuff happening right now.

Feel free to disregard that last correction, it's just a different phrasing that I would probably use myself. Original sentence is perfectly fine, overall.

So, I think it's would be a good idea to reduce my screen time on the PC and my smartphone to lessen the amount of information I get.

I don't often hear people say "smartphone" unless if it's a very formal or academic setting. We usually just say "phone".

Also, when thinking about the effects of something I haven't done yet, I'll use a conditional tense: "I think it would be a good idea..."

However, it's difficult for me to stop using them because I like playing digital games, watching videos, and drawing illustrations on my iPad.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "digital game". Instead, we'll say "video game", or commonly just "game" if it's clear we're talking about the kind you'd play on a computer or phone. I've also heard "computer game" used in some more formal contexts, but this is less common.

Somewhat related side note: have you ever heard of the phrase "touching grass". It's a very new colloquialism: a rather humorous (albeit somewhat vulgar) way of telling someone to get off their computer and go outside. It's generally meant as an insult, so I would advise against going around telling people to "touch grass". But it's one I've been hearing online somewhat often lately, usually used in regards to oneself.

Anyway, very well written overall! I wish you luck with your digital detox!

We are taking a shower ofdeluged / bombarded with information every day, and I feel it makes me tired.

"Taking a shower" is something many people think of positively. Taking a shower doesn't make you tired. If you want a water image, a deluge is strong and often has a negative impact. Another strong word that is often used to describe what you are talking about is bombarded. (We can use "with" or "by" with these two verbs: "deluged by, bombarded by."

Watching YouTube, searching on the internet, on the trains, in the taxis, or even just walking the streets, it's too hard to avoid commercials and unnecessary information.

It could be any train or taxi, so no article is needed.

HoweverUnfortunately, it's difficult for me to stop using them because I like playing digital games, watching videos, and drawing illustrations on my iPad.

If you begin the sentence before this with "So" and then you switch to "However," you are asking the reader to switch focus very quickly, (sort of like walking in one direction then immediately turning and walking back). If you use "Unfortunately" it has less of a contradictory effect imho.

A well written piece on a topic that is relevant for so many people. Great job!
