Grammar

When you use “of,” it is followed by a noun.
e.g. I got hurt because of what you did.
NOT: I got hurt because of you hit me

“Knock” must be connected to the thing being knocked on by “on”

Busy vs. Busy with
— “Busy with” introduces a noun
e.g. I was busy teaching today (this is a verb-like noun)
e.g. I was busy with a very important case today (just a thing-noun)

When you use a noun as an adjective, use the singular
e.g. A “telephone book” not a “telephones book”

Today I got up at ten am, because of the delivery guy knocked our door. When he was knocking our door, I was dreaming, and during my dream I was Harry Potter and I was busy with saving the world. Then I got up and got my delivery stuff from the delivery guy. Then I started to watching tv. I watched some videogames reruns. The game was league of legends. China just won the prize a few days ago. I used to play this videogame for a long time, but I didn’t play it anymore because all my friends are playing the videogame that you can kill people with guns. I don’t like that kind of videogames. Then, during the afternoon, I ordered some food online. Then around five I planned to leave my home and come here to have English class. But when I closed the door my white cat just run out of my house. This cat we just found it two weeks ago on the street, but it already run out of our house six or seven times. I’m done with this cat! It made me few minutes late for my English class.

Then I got up and got my delivery stuff from the delivery guy. Then I started to watching*** tv. I watched some videogames reruns. The game was league of legends. China just won first prize a few days ago. I used to play this videogame for a long time, but I don’t play it anymore because all my friends are playing a violent videogame that you can kill people with guns. I don’t like that kind of videogames. Then, during the afternoon, I ordered some food online. Then around five I planned to leave my home and come here to have English class.
