In the documentary, several people spoke (6) explaining what their goals were (7), why they wanted to run a marathon. One (8) girl wanted to run a marathon after she had had a bad personal experience (9), she had divorced and she had gained weight and she had fallen depressed, then she began training for a marathon. (8) Another girl (10) was a runner and she wanted to run a marathon to raise funds for the orphanage (11) where she had been adopted. The third girl was a professional athlete (12)but she had had a injured ligament so in this time she was training for running again a marathon.(13)
Another (10) runner was (14) a boy from Kenya (15) but he lived and worked in Japan. He was training to (16) win the marathon because in the past (17) he had been the third and the second so he wanted in this marathon to be the first.

(19) They all will run Chicago's Marathon. A marathon is a mentally challenge and a physical challenge (20) <...>
1. La palabra "titled" funciona aquí, pero se dice "called" mâs frecuentamenta.
2. Se usa "as" para describir algo que pensaría. "Por supuesto", el atlético corre más rápidamente que el gordo = "the athletic man ran faster than the fat man, as expected"
3. its = "su", it's = "es"
4. Estas palabras son mejores en esta frase. Se puede usar cualquiera (indicates, suggests, says), pero pon atención a la última letra "s".
5. Como "los que han corrido", necesitas la palabra "who"
6. En inglés, los verbos siguen los sujectos casi siempre.
7. Usar "which" es raro en inglés. Normalmente, se dice "what". Es por eso que muchos americanos preguntan "¿Qué color, día, trabajo?" en lugar de "Cuál <>?"
8.Gramática
9. Bien hecho. Usaste este tense muy bien.
10. "Other" es adjectivo. "Another" es una persona o una cosa. Es una palabra "combinada" (no creo que sea como se dice) "an + other", como "a + el = al" en español.
11. "orphan" es la persona. "orphange" es el lugar en que viven.
12. Se faltan letras
13. No entiendo, pero he visto la película. Te recomiendo: "and had to modify her training for this marathon".
14. "was from" en lugar de "came from"
15. letras
16. "for a race" o "for a personal best", pero "to win"
17. "in the past" no "in the previous"
18. Ya es pasado porque "wanted". "Wanted to improve" = "quería mejorar". "wanted to improved" sería "quería mejorada".
19. Intentas decir "el gustaba correr el maratón porque alguien puede hacerlo"? Si sí, usa "he said that he liked running the marathon because, among other reasons, anyone could do it".
20. Opciones: "a challenge, both mentally and physically", "a mental challenge and a physical challenge"
21. Ya es cierto, pero sería mejor decir: "I hope to run a marathon sometime in my life"
Yo también corre. He corrido dos maratones, pero prefiero las distancias más cortas, como el 10K. Me gustaría hablar más contigo de nuestras carreras y entrenamiento.
The Spirit of the Marathon
Yesterday I saw a documentary titled "The Spirit of the Marathon" and as its title suggests it is about runners who have run a marathon. A marathon is the longest race distance, it is 26 miles or 42 kilometers. I'm a runner but I haven't run a marathon yet; it is my life's goal. I have to work out more and it is very important to have a medical examination before running a marathon. In the documentary several people explained their goals and why they wanted to run a marathon. One girl wanted to run a marathon after she had had a bad personal experience. She had divorced and gained weight and she had become depressed, so she began training for a marathon. Another girl was a runner who wanted to run a marathon to raise funds for the orphanage where she had been adopted. The third girl was a professional athlete but she had had an injured ligament so this time she was training for again running a marathon. Another runner, a boy come from Kenya but he lived and worked in Japan. He was training to win the marathon because in the previously he had been third and second so he wanted in this marathon to be first. Finally there was a marvellous man who was retired and had run several marathons, and in this marathon he wanted to improve his time to finish the race. He said that he liked running marathons. The programme asked between why couldn't everyone run a marathon. (I'm guessing that last sentence, as I was not entirely sure what you were trying to write). They all will run Chicago's Marathon. A marathon is a mental challenge and a physical challenge. It is a wonderful race. I hope at some time in my life to run a marathon. I'd like for example to run the New York Marathon or here in Spain, to run Behobia- San Sebastian. For now I'm training for running 10 kilometers.There's some good writing here. I would say the most important thing you need to work on is punctuation. You are joining many separate sentences with commas, which makes it very awkward to read. Try to make your sentences shorter. It's a difficult topic to teach, and really comes with experience as much as anything.
