Please excuse me for piling on, I do it with the best intentions.
—————————
The title should be:
>> Describe a newspaper or magazine you enjoy reading".
>> I can read it anywhere at any time, because I use my iPhone to check the news.
"Anywhere" is a bit better than "everywhere" here, because you want to say that you are able to read in any place, not that you actually do read in all the places in the universe. The same logic applies to every time / any time. It's like the difference between 何時も and 何時でも.

Further on:
I think news articles are often written by one person and many articles are just his are only a matter of opinion not objective. Of course, news apps are said convey the same personal opinions, but there are many articles in the same cases on the same topics. So we can see a lot of variety of thinking on the internet. Moreover, we can use these apps for free and see the latest articles.
I always read about baseball games, football games and the economy on it online. We need to know these the news as fast quickly as we can, because these news are renewing at all times it is constantly being updated. That's why I always use news apps to read news, and I buy sports magazine to enjoy it once a month. Thank you!

Quickly vs. fast: "we need to know as fast as we can" sounds like we are the ones who need to go fast. But actually, we want the news media to go fast, not ourselves. "As quickly as possible" = arriving as soon as possible, with the minimum possible delay.
My corrections are suggestions for more simple, accurate and clear expression. I added some commas where they would normally appear in English. I had no trouble understanding what you wrote! I hope my comments are useful.0 votedApril 6, 20181HOW DO WE CLASSIFY PIKACHU IN [THE] REAL BIOLOGICAL WORLD?
I have been watching [the] Pokémon TV series since I was a kid. And now I [have fallen] in love with Pokémon again, but this time it’s [within] a game called Pokémon Go.Pikachu is one of my favorite Pokémon of all time. He looks adorable and his abilities to generate electricity and paralyze enemies [with] thunderbolt strikes are amazing! For a long time, I [dreamed] of catching him in real world.[Now] thanks to Niantic, Inc., [Pikachu has been brought] to life in [a] virtual reality game. I love him not [only] because of his cute [looks] and special [powers], but [because of] his [relationships] with others. He can read others’ feelings and express his own [feelings]. He’s seen as a leader who helps resolve conflicts among other [Pokémon]. In some cases, he sacrifices his life to save his friends’ lives — in other words, he has a basic human instinct to help [others]. Now [comes] an interesting question: How can we classify him in the real biological world?Pikachu shares many traits with [primates. For] instance, he walks bipedally and has [forward-facing] eyes; indeed, he has [prehensile (grasping) hands]. I know it sounds like [anthropomorphism], but [he actually] does. If [I were] an [anthropologist], I [would] put him in a group [with] nonhuman primates because he has [a] human mind and shares characteristics with other primates. I [would] also give him [the] lovely scientific name of [Arcanum electricum] because of his special abilities ([Arcanum] is a Latin word for secret and [electricum] refers to electricity).==================This was pretty good!I put all my corrections [inside square brackets]. Some changes are about spelling or grammar, and others are about what sounds the most natural. Explaining them all would take a very long time.Pokémon or Pokémons?I don't like "Pokémons" as a plural form, even though many people use it (incorrectly). The reason is that Pokémon is a loanword from Japanese — natively, the singular and plural forms are the same.For very old or borrowed names of animals, English usually follows the original language for plurals. Examples are:One elk, many elkOne fish, many fish ("fishes" is OK but not preferred)One deer, many deerOne grouse, many grouseOne moose, many moose (not "mooses", *never* "meese")Pikachu's latin nameMy Latin skills are not the greatest, but I do know that "arcanum" is neuter in gender and takes -um as its ending in the nominative case.If I had to make up a scientific name for Pikachu following the genus/species format of Carl Linnaeus, I'd go with "Arcanoelectricum flavens" = Mysteriously electrical golden-yellow thing. :-)0 votedApril 6, 20181The italki terms of service are not quite explicit about copyediting and proofreading, but I think their intent is clear enough. They forbid transactions outside of italki, because this isn't a brokerage for third-party transactions.

It's too bad, but the company needs to guard the use of its platform.
