Hmmm if you're speaking in general, "never give up" is correct — it's the sort of phrase you see on a motivational poster, something you might say in a general sense to inspire or encourage. For example, "you are so strong, never give up." Thinking back on it, this is something I see a lot on say like, fitness blogs, or study blogs, but I don't really use it in real life ever. I would say "never give IT up" if I was referencing something specific that a specific person was doing. For example, I might tell a friend (or more likely, someone like my mom might tell me), "you're so good at piano—never give it up!" (it=piano) or "you're so talented at learning other languages—never give it up!" (it=learning other languages). I think you already have the gist of it—"never give up" is general and "never give IT up" is only used if you're talking about a very specific thing that an individual is doing. Hope this helped!

The Steps To Take Before Landing A Job

You probably need to take the following steps as follows before landing a job.

Firstly, you can read an job advertisement on an hiring website or in a newspaper. Secondly, you should apply to the job by sending your resume and cover letter when *you find finding out an interesting job. Thirdly, you need to go for an interview. Finally, you will receive and accept a job offer.

You will start **[to work] after ***[doing] these steps.

 

*when adressing the "you," stick with it! (don't use a participle here)

"to find out" is a phrase in English but it means something different 

 

**correct, but awkward.  An English speaker would say "you will start working" 

 

***"completing" is more idiomatic here

Blue = my additions (idiomatic, related to certain phrases, etc.)

highlight = simple grammar (punctuation, articles, plural vs. singular, etc.)

strikethrough = my deletions

 

**Your English is pretty good!  There weren't too many basic grammar errors so I did a lot of edits on advanced grammar and style to make it flow more smoothly.  There are sooo many more grammar explanations for some of my corrections (but I didn't want it to look too messy) so let me know if you have any questions!

 

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES ABOUT OF LOCAL FOOD

There are more and more followers of the local food movement. Currently many people begin again are beginning to consume these products, which will lead to everyone's benefits (producers, consumers and environment), but there are reasons to don´t agree disagree with them.

 

[**I would rephrase this last sentence: "The local food trend has benefits for many, including farmers, consumers and the environment, but with these gains there are also drawbacks.]

 

First of all, local producers will increase their sales because people will be looking for their products: thus the local economy will be helped. By contrast [not quite idiomatically correct, try:] On the other hand, if we only eat local food, we will reduce limit our consume consumption [need the noun form] to only seasonal vegetables and fruits; as a result, our children´s diets will be restricted.

**I inserted the 'only' for stylistic emphasis

 

[Your paragraph relies a lot on the passive voice and complicated grammar!  I would rephrase the first sentence:  "When more people begin shopping locally and buying from local producers, they will help the local economy."]

In the second place Secondly, it is widely asumed that local food is healthier because large farmers often use more chemicals than smaller farmers do. However local production is not enough for everyone in the area. Besides [more appropriate wording] Additionally, there are several resarch which show us [is a lot of research that shows / are serveral studies that show] that there are higher greater negative environmental effects [side effects is the perfect word here!] of producing food locally than there are in transporting them.

To sum up [my argument], purchasing local products, apart from [in addition to] being healthier than those products genetically modified or packed, they put promotes benefits to local economy although being producing locally is potentially harmful to environment.

 

[I didn't quite get the meaning of your conclusion]

 

Overall, good job!! :)

**blue = idiomatic correction / my addition

highlight = straightforward grammar/spelling thing

strikethrough = get rid of it! 

 

unemployed

Today I am bored and frustrated because I still haven't got [found] a job: I mean I am unemployed. This situation is stressing stressful for me. There are vacancies, and I send my CV, but I don't [maybe use 'never' instead] get a positive answer.

 

[** the ":" that I added (the colon), is sooo complicated even for English speakers.  You can also just put a period in]

 

I sometimes imagine that I get have a job at big company and make a living there. [Right now, / Currently,] I don't have any money.

 

[**note: make a living, not make aliving!]

My friend Patricia said to me [told me that], if I send her my CV she can help me on join your company.  So I sent my CV [in], and I have hope about it. I am getting a job I am hopeful that I can get the job.

In my opinion, it is more interesting get a job at big company than small company. I've worked at small companies, and now I want to work at big company.

 

[This sentence is a little awkward:  I would say something like: "I am interested in working at a big company because I have worked at small companies before, and I am curious what it is like to work at a big company."] 

While [In the meantime] I am concentrating in learn on learning English. I am going to learn this language, and maybe it will help me to get [find] a job.

Usually if you mean to say it is happening in the present moment, you would say something like, "I <em>am</em> <em>getting</em> bored watching TV all day."

 

If it is a habit, something that always happens when you perform a particular task, then you would say "I <em>get</em> bored when I watch TV all day, when I do my math homework, etc."

 

And Piyush is right that "got" is just the past tense.  ("Yesterday, I <em>got</em> bored staying at home all morning")
