As the matter of fact, she was a person who hard being

1. Article
usage: Only use “the” to refer to specific items; for singular non-specific
items use “a”, e.g. a matter of fact.
2. Word
form: although the sound is similar, don’t confuse “instant” with
“instance”--the meanings are quite different.
3. Passive
form: “hard being convinced” seems to be a passive construction, but the form
is incorrect--hard needs to be introduced by “was” and followed by an
infinitive (was hard to convince).
4. Verb
form: After a modal verb, use the verb name--“like” not “likes”.
5.
Infinitive: The infinitive is formed from “to” + the verb name--there is no “s”
or any other verb ending on an infinitive, so change “to thinks” to “to think”.
6. Pronoun
agreement: it makes better sense to change “his” to “her”--“his” is possible,
but it just doesn’t make as much sense.
7. Word
form: “corrected” is a past participial adjective; here comparison is needed--more
correct. A good correction would be change this expression to “better”.
8. Word
confusion: “then” and “than” often sound alike, but there meaning and function
is quite different; here you need “than” because there is an implicit
comparison.
9. Possessive:
“view” belongs to someone--here “anyone else”, so it needs to be possessive
(anyone else’s).
10.
Punctuation: The first independent clause ends with “convince”; a semicolon is
needed here.
Possible
Answer: As a matter of fact, she is a person who was hard to convince; for
instance, she certainly would like to think
