Hi...
How can I connect these two sentences...
1. Maybe you feel well tomorrow...
2. I want you to do all homework carefully.

This looks like homework.

If it's not homework, why do you want to connect them?

And even if it's homework, there's a grammatical error in the first sentence, the one which starts with "Maybe". It's already looking like it's not a good question. The fact remains we don't help with homework.

This isn't homework.I just want to say some sentence but don't know how.
Or please, check...
"If you feel better, please, do all your homework carefully"

Are you talking to a child? Don't you want your child to do their homework carefully regardless of whether they have recovered from today's illness or not?

That works grammatically, but you've lost the idea of I want you.... How about I want you to do all your homework carefully if you feel better tomorrow?

Or "Tomorrow, if you feel better, I would like you to do your homework carefully". I still find the use of "carefully" there rather odd. In that instance, for once, I would be inclined to use more words rather than fewer.

Tomorrow, if you feel better, I'd like you to do your homework and to take more care over it than you did last time" or "... I'd like you to do your homework and to really concentrate on it".
