Daunting: At first, it seemed a very daunting subject, but as they went deeper into it, he couldn't help but regret not having given it a shot earlier in his life. He was sure it was the piece that had been missing in his professional life. 4. Take up: Despite everyone suggesting that she studied engineering and her being so goot at maths, she decided to take up law. 5. Brush away: Even though scientists and engineers had been advising them against building in that mountain, they simply brushed away their warnings and went on with their plans. 6. Pamper: If you keep pampering the boy like that, don't be surprised when he doesn't accept a no for an answer. 7. At first glance: We were pleasantly surprised that a food that at first glance seemed so nasty actually tasted better than anything we had ever eaten during our stay in the country. 8. Out of turn: if you call out your answer out of turn once again, you will be knocked out of the contest. No matter if it's right. Is that clear? 9. Drag in: Her husband kept dragging in things that had happened years ago, taking them out of proportion on occasion as if looking for an excuse to fuel his anger. 10. Put on trial: The man was put on trial for stealing a box of bouillon cubes from a supermarket. 11. To have a knack for something: Ever since she was a child, she has had an unquenchable curiosity and a knack for finding things out on her own. No wonder she is one of the most prominent scientists in the country.

A few random sentences [2]

Hi, if you find any mistakes, or if any of my sentences sounds unnatural, don't hesitate to suggest an alternative. I'd love to know how you would say them. Thank you very much.

1. I wouldn't exactly call that music. All I hear is whistles and drums with no apparent order or rhythm, let alone melody.

2. Make it up to someone: You simply can't talk to her like that and then pretend to make it up to her by giving her chocolates. That's just wrong!

2. The phrase should be: "Make it up" to someone

3. Daunting: At first, it seemed to be a very daunting subject. But as they went deeper into it, he couldn't help but regret not having given it a shot earlier in his life. He was sure it was the piece that had been missing in his professional life.

3. "At first, it seemed to be" OR "At first, it seemed like". Your sentence was perfectly understandable how it was, but these suggestions sound better.


4. Taking up law: Despite everyone suggesting that she studied engineering and her being so goot at maths study engineering and the fact that she was good at maths, she decided to take up law.

4. The expression "Take up" without the thing that is being "taken up" sounds a little odd.


5. Brushing away the warnings: Even though scientists and engineers had been advising them against building in that mountain, they simply brushed away their warnings and went on with their plans.

5. "Brush" should be the present progressive tense - "Brushing", and again, here is a phrase which should really include the thing that is being brushed away.


6. Pamper: If you keep pampering the boy like that, don't be surprised when he doesn't accept a "no" for an answer.

6. This is nitpicking, but "no" should be in quotation marks.

7. At first glance: We were pleasantly surprised that a food which at first glance seemed so nasty actually tasted better than anything we had ever eaten during our stay in the country.

8. Out of turn: if you call out your answer out of turn once again, you will be knocked out of the contest, even if it's right. Is that clear?


9. Drag in: Her husband kept dragging in things that had happened years ago, taking them out of proportion on occasion as if looking for an excuse to fuel his anger.

9. The phrase should be "bringing up" here instead of "dragging in".

10. Put on trial: The man was put on trial for stealing a box of bouillon cubes from a supermarket.

11. To have a knack for something: Ever since she was a child, she has had an unquenchable curiosity and a knack for finding things out on her own. No wonder she is one of the most prominent scientists in the country.



Overall, your English seems quite advanced and few corrections were really necessary. Good job and keep it up!
