Some Sentences with Phrasal Verbs and New Words
1) He caught a cold last week and still cannot stop sneezing and coughing. He said that medicines were unhelpful, so now he's taking hot milk with some honey and butter.Sounds slightly more natural this way - English speakers love to use the present participle for ongoing actions that are currently happening.
2) It feels like we're going nowhere in a hurry. What if we openly discuss this outrageous misconduct? I guess the personnel knows all this and gossips about it all.
No comma needed after "I guess." I would normally use "staff" instead of "personnel." If I take your meaning correctly here, I might recommend "I guess the personnel knows everything and gossips already."
3) I would like to have at my disposal some money to start up business. However, I don't want to cross out everything that I've done in my life before.That's why I'm trying to build it on the base of my previous occupation.
I'd recommend something like "I'd like to have some money at my disposal to start a business. However, I don't want to have to start my career over again - that's why I'm trying to build on the base of knowledge that I learned in my previous occupation." Although, it's unclear here whether you're worried about money, knowledge, or connections in your previous occupation.
4) It came about all of a sudden, so nobody was ready to for it. We were helpless when faced with fire, but, fortunately, a fire team came very quickly and worked very professionally.
No comma need after "helpless."
5) If I were you, I would just kick him out and forget about him. Let's get together and discuss how you can manage all this.
6) Never mind. You'll take a rest, and everything will go much better.
7) You can wing your speech, just make some notes to so you stick to the topic.
8) They almost struck me with their proficiency in choir vocals.
I would recommend "almost impressed" instead of "almost struck," unless you mean to sound sarcastic.
9) She's always cheerful in spite of her age and disease. Chatting with her, you understand how well her generation was brought up and educated.
This one struck me as a good complex sentence.
