    Maybe you meant "exert their influence on the market" (use their power to affect the market in some way).

    Taking about fear (Do you mean: Talking About Fear?)

    My biggest fear is catching a fatal disease. People who catch such diseases suffer anguish of both the body and the mind. About 5 months ago my cousin, who was only 13 years old, became addle-brained, and died. The disease progressed so quickly. He came down with a fever in late June, and our family took him to the hospital. At that time, his disease wasn't discovered and the doctors conducted more tests. In the meantime, my cousin's health deteriorated. Our family was very worried. The doctor said he wouldn't live another 2 months. He suggested surgery. We were given two options. The first option was to agree for him to have surgery, for which there was a 30 per cent chance he would survive for now (but he could still be affected by his disease in the future.) If surgery failed, he would die instantly. The second option was to do nothing, and he would continue to suffer mental and physical anguish for the rest of his life. After thinking it through, our family decided to allow him to have surgery. Unfortunately, my cousin did not survive the operation. Our family is now very sad.

     

    NOTE: "Surgery" is an uncountable noun in English, like "exercise", "rest", "therapy", etc. See <a href="https://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/nouns-uncountable-list.htm">https://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/nouns-uncountable-list.htm</a> for more examples.

    Personally, I would rather use "hold" or "contain" rather than "carry" or "take". I think "take" has an implication of going somewhere in particular, while "carry" just means something is being held aloft, and the destination is not so important.

    Lows of attraction 2

    In my last note I wrote about the Laws of Attraction.
    I remember a good quote about this subject/topic.
    About 1400 years ago there was a Muslim leader and guide named Emam Ali. One of his quotes was:

    "Watch your thoughts, they become words;
    Watch your words, they become actions;
    Watch your actions, they become habits;
    Watch your habits, they become character;
    Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."

     

    I hope this correction is helpful to you.

    This looks good to be me. I made a few small changes, maybe reflecting my own style of writing, and to make it sound more "typical" in my experience, for this kind of letter. For example, you don't need to say that you were driving "on the road", that is stating the obvious because everyone drives on the road.

     

    MY LETTER: 


    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I rented a car from your company in Luwan District on the 1st of August. I regret to inform you that due to a minor accident during my lease, the car was slightly damaged.

    Yesterday, while driving in Shanghai, the temperature reached 41 degrees Celsius. All of a sudden, one of the tyres blew out. The car consequently lost control. Though I managed to keep it from turning over, the car was unfortunately hit by a vehicle from behind, then pushed into a vehicle in front of it. As a result, both the front and rear windows were broken.

    I have reported the case to my <a id="_GPLITA_0" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" href="#">insurance</a> company who is obligated to cover part of the expenses caused by accidents, according to the contract. I hope that you will soon have the car professionally examined to determine responsibility for the accident. I will happily pay for excess damages if it is found that the quality of the tyre was not the cause of the accident.

    Enclosed with the letter are my contact details. I am looking forward to a prompt resolution of this problem. Thank you.

    Yours sincerely,
