4. recently, i got about 2000 dollars tax returns. when i logged into my account and saw the money have added in the previous amount, my first reaction was: i can buy something expensive. as discussed in the article, people may treat money differently simply because the source of the money. the source of income is also an factor of violating fungibility which affect the decision about how much money and in what situations to spend. i was obviously irrational. the source of money is not the reason that i can spend more. mental accounting affect me to think irrationally. if i did not know this financial concept, i would probably behave irrationally, too.

Answer

OK, I will help you correct your grammar.  It would be better to discuss the mistakes; that way you will learn much more than me simply texting here.  Call me on Skype:  brian.madden4

Answer

Recently, I got about 2000 dollars (in) tax returns. When I logged into my account and saw the money (that was) added (to my) amount, my reaction was, "I can buy something expensive." As discussed in the article, people may treat money differently simply because (of the) source of the money. The source of income is also (a) factor of violating fungibility (I never seen this word before) which affect(s) the decision about how much money (to spend in situations). I was obviously (irritated). (Because of) the source of money, I cannot spend more. Mental accounting affects me to think irrationally. If I did not know this financial concept, i would probably behave irrationally, too.

I have trouble understanding what you mean sometimes, but your writing is okay!

It's far easier for us to make corrections and give you advice if you post your text here:

I agree with Professor B: it would be better to discuss the mistakes (than simply correct them).
