Hi guys:
Could you please help me by checking these sentences? Thanks in advance!

-George wants to go to the cinema. On the contrary, I want to watch some films at home
-He won't come along due to his illness (in a less formal way, you could say "because he is sick")
-It could even be (you these reversed) worse. At least you've got a job, so you can pay your bills
-It was an interesting speech, but all in all, she said the company is (company is singular) growing during next year
-My hot water supply system is working only on and off (I understand what you mean here by "on and off". That is a more informal way to express the word "intermittently")
-She must be here 7:00 pm, the latest (or "she must be here the latest by 7:00pm" but this does not grammatically flow well)
-Hereafter, our company has got a new partner: Northern Bell, Inc.
-On this occassion, I prefer you to come over to my home. Last time, I went to your flat.
-In these times ("Nowadays" or "Lately" are better to use "In these times"), it's impossible not to get stuck in a traffic jam in this city.
-I disagree with you. However, I can understand your point of view

company is singular. companies is plural. "Our company has got..." is correctly written out "Our companies have got..." if plural
