Hi Linny,
I am not able to show you how I deleted or edited your sentences as you have posted your writing on the "Answers" section. There are more than one way of editing or re-writing your sentences, and my corrections only show one of the many ways.
*Just as a side discussion, "advice" is an uncountable noun. We can give someone many pieces of advice ("pieces" expresses the meaning of more than one), but we do not have "advices".
Hope this helps you.

4. Asked to send one thing that represents my country, I would choose a semiconductor chip.

Quick question. Is there a reason for the phrasing something, then something? Some sentence can be made more natural by turning then around. But I feel you may be phrasing this way on purpose to try out specific way of writing.
