As a non-native speaker, I really hate how people use this as an excuse. LLMs are good at fixing grammatical errors, so I use them daily as spell checkers. Using LLMs for rewriting is just lazy.
Try:
I'm learning English as a second language. I will provide you with a text, and you have to print the corrected text in a code block so that I can copy it. Under it, there should be two lists: one containing the errors and brief descriptions of them, and another containing tips for improving the text. Do not give your opinion about the text. Focus on grammar.
