Writing practice. Can anyone please tell me where I am wrong?
I am practicing writing with a textbook with exercises but the book gives only one answer per question
So I'd like to know if my own sentences are okay as well.

1. Watching too much Television is bad for children.
2. His only hobby is to garden.
3. She stopped crying and looked up at her father.
4. I am used to searching for information on the internet.
5. I decided to work out.
6. You have enough intellect to solve the question.
7. We found a study group to take part in
8. They advised me to be on time.
9. He brought his wallet out to show me the picture of his family.
10. It rained so much that I couldn't go fishing. / It rained too much to go fishing.
11. I am glad to meet you.
12. I agreed to clean the kitchen.
13. She denied that she cheated on the test.
14. I reject rescheduling the meeting.
15. People should learn from their mistakes to make progress.

Thank you in advance!

Answer

Very good job only a few minor corrections.
1. Watching too much television is bad for children. - television shouldn't be capitalised 
2. His only hobby is to garden. - His only hobby is gardening. We use the ing form of verbs when we are using them as nouns - painting, swimming, acting, dancing and so on
3. She stopped crying and looked up at her father. - Perfect
4. I am used to searching for information on the internet. - Perfect
5. I decided to work out. - Perfect
6. You have enough intellect to solve the question. - Perfect
7. We found a study group to take part in - We found a study group to join. Your sentence makes sense but we generally try not to end a sentence in a preposition. ("in")
8. They advised me to be on time. - Perfect
9. He brought his wallet out to show me the picture of his family. - Perfect
10. It rained so much that I couldn't go fishing. / It rained too much to go fishing. Both are great!
11. I am glad to meet you. - Perfect - but in the US it is more common to say "happy to meet you". or It is "nice to meet you."
12. I agreed to clean the kitchen. - Perfect
13. She denied that she cheated on the test. - Perfect- - 
14. I reject rescheduling the meeting. - I refuse to reschedule the meeting.  Not sure on this one there are several ways to say it depending on your exact meaning.
15. People should learn from their mistakes to make progress. - Perfect
Great job! Hope this helps!

Oh, it's embarrassing I can't find a 'reply' button here. Thank you very much, Elisa and Mel!!

Answer

Only one mistake I can see 
1. Watching too much television is bad for children.  - television not Televison.

All the sentences make sense ☺

Answer

It looks great! The only thing that i can see is that television doesn't need to capitalized and there's is a period missing at the end of a sentence. Only places and people's names need to be capitalized.
