My friend Changchang has submitted an exercise on the subject. I have reviewed and made some corrections. I consider CC's level of English as high. She has a good grasp of English grammar. Basically each and every one of her sentences has a subject, a verb and an object, which is the cardinal rule of good English writing.
In my corrections, words in red indicate "a must change" and words in blue indicate "a remmended change" and words in indicate "to be deleted".
