The sequence of tenses
Hello, this is my English training exercise for an exam.
It is about to change present --> futur and past --> conditional , with would/could/ be able to/ have to ...
I had to respond to the question: If you could change the world, what would you change?
If you can correct me, I will really appreciate!
If I could change the world, I would change inequalities and the economical and ecological disaster. I would try to save the earth, and make "our planet great again" like politics loves to say.
I would save the great barrier reef, and all the animals on the sea, earth and sky. Maybe it is too optimistic, but I am not the only one!
If you had 3 wishes like Aladdin, what would they be?
If I had 3 wishes, they would be:
First, for the planet and others, to live in a place with no injustices and no pollution.
Likewise, I would choose to have the opportunity to travel a lot, discover other countries, populations and other spirits (minds/mentalities? )
Finally, I think I would keep the last wish for when I would really need it.
Thanks!

If I could change the world, I would change inequalities and the economic ("economical" is usually used to mean cheap, of low price) and ecological disaster. I would try to save the earth, and make "our planet great again" like politicians love to say.
I would save the Great Barrier Reef (initial capital letters as this is its name), and all the animals in the sea, on earth and in the sky. Maybe it is too optimistic, but I am not the only one! (Good reference to John Lennon's old song, Imagine !)
If you had three wishes like Aladdin, what would they be?
If I had three wishes, they would be:
First, for the planet and other people (not a grammar point, but do you mean "other planets" ? Or "other people" ? Maybe you could clarify? ), to live in a place with no injustices and no pollution.
Likewise, I would choose to have the opportunity to travel a lot, discover other countries, other ways of living, and other souls. (minds/mentalities? ) (Or perhaps "other countries, other people, and other ways of thinking" ...? Or " and other souls" .. ? I found it hard to separate "populations" - people en masse - and "spirits" - people as indiviudals ..? )
Finally, I think I would keep the last wish for when I really needed it. (I know it looks strange but I think that's the right tense :) )
Thanks!
