A: You could probably say "the section where items are priced by weight".

A: Better for the last sentence is "This is also true during wedding ceremonies, in classes, or while you are sitting on the sofa with your boy/girlfriend."

A: 1. "how come" is extremely casual, even childish.
Change it to "why", the more natural equivalent.
"I have no idea WHY"

2. "Such" does not take the place of an adjective, but rather a noun phrase. "So" takes the place of an adjective.
"You are SO keen"

3. When using "keen", it is more natural to say "keen on ___-ing", rather than "keen to ___".
"Keen on knowing"

4. Add "the" to "details" to keep the formality.
"THE details of my profession"
A less formal way to say it would be "details about my job", where you wouldn't have to add "the", making it more general.

5. You need the indefinite article "a" with "job". Simply, this would be
"It's a not so exciting job".
But the more natural phrase is
"It's not so exciting of a job".

6. You don't need both "tons of" AND "pile of". Let's use "tons of".
"It's tons of"
If you used "pile of", which is a little more rude, you would have to add the indefinite article "a" to make "a pile of". ("A bunch of" is less rude).

7. "Low key" very informal, almost slang, while "procedures" is very formal. You can say something like:
"It's tons of minor/tedious tasks/jobs/duties".

More Natural:
"I have no idea why you are so keen on knowing the details of my profession. It's not so exciting of a job. It's tons of minor tasks."

I hope this is helpful.

"Since" is not normally a conjunction, but here it is used as such as an alternative to "because".

A: should be "I support your idea that we should make as many foreign friends as possible"

ordering is a little wrong or you could add a comma after friends,

but I think my sentence sounds more natural

A: Because the subject for the verb "draw" is "people".
