Error analysis:

correct_sentence: Gao Feng likes soccer very much.
error: is like
correction: likes
error_type: Word Redundancy Error
error_severity: 4
error_description: ① Word Redundancy Error: In the original sentence, “is like” is confusing. When “like” is used as a main verb meaning “to like”, it does not need the auxiliary verb “is”. “is like” creates word redundancy, so “is” should be deleted.; ② Subject-Verb Agreement Error: The subject of the sentence “Gao Feng” is third-person singular. In the simple present tense, when the subject is third-person singular, the verb should be in the third-person singular form. The original sentence did not use “likes”, which violates the principle of subject-verb agreement. “is like” should be changed to “likes”.

error_sentence: He has 4 soccers, but he doesn't play soccer, he only watch the soccer match.
correct_sentence: He has 4 soccer balls, but he doesn't play soccer.
error: soccers
correction: soccer balls
error_type: Noun Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Noun Error: According to English grammar rules, “soccer” as “football sport” is an uncountable noun. In the original sentence, “4 soccers” intends to express “4 footballs”. In this case, the countable noun “soccer ball” should be used, and when the quantity is greater than 1, the plural form is required. Therefore, 〈soccers〉 should be changed to 『soccer balls』 to clarify the plural concept and make the expression conform to grammatical and semantic requirements.

error_sentence: He has 4 soccers, but he doesn't play soccer, he only watch the soccer match.
correct_sentence: He has 4 soccer balls, but he doesn't play soccer. He only watches soccer matches.
error: , he only watch the soccer match
correction: . He only watches soccer matches
error_type: Subject-Verb Agreement Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: ① Punctuation Error: According to English grammar rules, two independent clauses “he doesn't play soccer” and “he only watch the soccer match” cannot be connected only by a comma, as this would cause a comma splice. The comma 〈, he〉 should be changed to a period 『. He』 to make the sentence structure correct.; ② Subject-Verb Agreement Error: The subject of the sentence 〈he〉 is third-person singular. In the simple present tense, the predicate verb should be in the third-person singular form. In the original sentence, 〈watch〉 was not changed accordingly, which violates the principle of subject-verb agreement. 〈watch〉 needs to be changed to 『watches』.; ③ Noun Number Error: From the context, descriptions of football matches generally do not refer to a single match; the noun 〈match〉 should be in the plural form. 〈match〉 should be changed to 『matches』 to make the expression more accurate, indicating “multiple matches”.
