    This should be a notebook entry! The teacher forgot to give clear warnings ABOUT NOT USING electronic devices or The teacher forgot to MENTION / EXPLAIN the prohibitions ON electronic devices She made comments / said things not [[ written ]] IN the instructions "test , she" The punctuation is wrong the comma should be a full stop or colon. "When told so," --> "When she was reminded of this, " [ "When told of this," is grammatical but doesn't quite fit the previous sentence. ] "I only consider" The position of "only" is wrong. Grammatically, "only" should be before "in coping", but it would be more natural either to omit the word "only" or emphasise it with a different phrasing. "I think her only problem is with her timing." "on time / in time": both are grammatically correct, but have different meanings: "on time" means things were done at the required times: "in time" means that all the tasks were finished by the end of the required period. "which she could sort them out immediately when was reminded of them" -> "which she could sort out immediately she was reminded".

    I live in England and "turned upside down" sounds quite natural to me. "turned over" would also be possible.

    I think Ben is overstating it, but it is very difficult to advise without knowing much more about the context. It sounds as if this is a part of an application for something important. The paragraphs cover subjects from hobbies to serious business activities and the piece is strangely disjointed. The structure needs improving as well as the phrasing which is indeed ungrammatical in places.

    I am pretty sure you mean: "In the research referred to above, springback and sectional deformation were studied separately but they should be studied together [ ... and in this paper I report on experiments on their combined effect. ]"

    The sentence is correct, but it is a bit longwinded. On of the meanings of "abandon" is to "stop helping": The author is saying he will always try to stop him/herself becoming despondent.

    I agree with Michele, but note that "bit" is a colloquial word.

    The worst thing is food because [English] food is very different from Spanish food. I don't like it at all, especially bacon and eggs at breakfast. I stay in a dorm[atory] with students from every country so I can get to know different points of view --- this is very interesting to me.

    Have you changed the punctuation? The punctuation is impossible as it stands. Probably it should read: "To these individuals, the universe consisted of people, nature, the Earth, sun, and moon, and empty space.", then 'people' would be the first item in a list of things the universe consists of.

    Again it would be easier for an expert in your subject to advise you. Do you need to say more than "A, B and C studied the influence of the loading path, friction, tension and pressure in order to minimize the sectional deformation and springback." ?

    "without commitment" means that the author is free to change his/her mind later --- for example to say what was written was in fact a bad idea. "without attribution" means that author of the paper is [ supposedly ] unknown.
