Hello,
These are interesting questions, I have just cleaned them up a little.
In question 6 you talk about the 'problem of obese people', you can use the pronoun 'this' to refer to them without repeating the phrase.
In Question 7 we use 'who' not 'to' (This may have just been a slip!) and at the end it is better to use the expression 'to give somebody your opinion'
Hope this helps
