- The house rules Looking for help to correct some sentences! Hello! my Portuguese landlord made some rules for house and asked me to translate it into English. Could you please help me to correct it? Thank you very much! The text is below: I want to ask for your attention to the following three points: 1- Noises at the rest time: I’d like to ask you to not make noises at the rest time (9 pm to 9 am), as some people need to rest in these hours. Therefore, the use of sound appliances, as well as other activities that may break the peace of the house during these hours are prohibited. 2- Untidy kitchen: after using the kitchen, it should be maintained in a tidy and clean condition. The dishes should not be left unwashed. And the food should not be left in the kitchen without placing it in an appropriate recipient or outside of the fridge. The food that is found outside the conditions as above mentioned will be placed into the garbage. 3- Washing machine- the washing machines continues to be used to wash small quantity of clothing. In this way, it not only contributes to the increase of the cost of the electricity, but also does harm to the washing machine. So from today, when the small quantity of clothes in the machine is found, I will take it from the machines and keep it. The clothes will be returned after the payment of a penalty of 10 euros. These points is a part of the general rules of the house. I hope they could be fulfilled, otherwise, i will have to take other measures. Thank you very muchApril 3, 201820

- An honest manHello, everyone, this is a short story written by my friend and I helped him to translated into English. Can anyone help me to correct it? Thank you very much!PART IThere was a bank accountant who had no girlfriend, no wife and no child. He was about 30 years old, he worked on time and worked hard every day. He never made mistakes on his work. People called him as “the honest man” all his lifetime. He had only one life desire, which was travelling all over the world. But as a man who had to do careful calculation and strict budgeting to live, he didn’t earn much money, he could just eke out his livelihood by work.One day, he asked for a leave from the work. On the next day , he didn’t come to office either.The boss and the colleagues were worried about him, being afraid that some accident might have happened to him. As he lived alone, even if some accident happened, no one would know it. They called him but he didn’t answer the phone, everybody decided to wait him for one more day then go to his house to look for him.It washard to prevent the unexpected things happening. On the same day , the bank checked the amount and found that the honest man had transferred one hundred million from the bank and drew the money.Every stuff of the company was so surprised about it, no one believed that the honest man would do such a thing. Some people even worried about that he was kidnapped and was forced to steal the money.One week passed the honest man couldn't be found by all manner of means. Suddenly the honest man stepped into the police office and confessed his crime. As soon as he saw the policeman he confessed that he had stolen one hundred million. He clearly realized that we was not that kind of desperado, so he had decided to confess his crime.This was an easy case, so the police asked him to surrender the one hundred million stolen money, and they could beg the judge for mercy for him. However the honest man said “I confessed my crime, so I surrendered myself to the police, but I really can’t tell you where the one hundred million is. I would just admit my guilt.”“Did you give it to some woman? Dis you steal money for her?Don’t be silly, once you are put into the jail, she will just leave with the one hundred million.”“No, there is no woman.”“You can’t imagine the pain of being inside of the prisoner's cage, just hand over the money, and we will intercede for you! Now that you realized that had made a mistake who not return the money?”March 11, 201800

Hello everyone! This is the second part of a short story written by my friend, I translated it into English. Can anyone help me to correct? Thank you very much! Bcs of the words limit,the other part pls see my perfil!THANK U!
PART 2
“I knew I had made mistake and I admitted my guilt. I knew I should be punished, but I really can’t tell you where the money is.”
Finally the judge dished him out fifteen years.
Deducted from the holiday, the honest man stayed in the jail for 13 years. In the prison he still was a exemplary prisoner, when he was free he read travel books or taught other prisoners to read and write.
Time flies, the honest man was released from the prison. His old boss was already retired but he couldn’t forget the old honest man, he was dying to know what had happened to the honest man and where had the money gone. At that time the door bell rang, the honest man stood front the door with a portfolio.
“Recently I had finally figured it out. I knew that I had made a huge mistake and disappointed everyone's expectation, I want to return the one hundred million to the bank. Sir, could you please go to the bank with me? ” Finally the one hundred million, after the honest man being in the prison for 13 years, wen back to the bank.
In the first class cabin the old man held a cup of red wine, reading the travel magazine, decided to after going to Paris he will go to Iceland and then go to Russia to walk around.
The airline attendant who he just knew, pouting playfully, asked him, “What do you do on earth? How could you retire so early and have travel all over the world? ”
The honest man smiled, “I do investment business. Do you know how much you can earn after 13 years if you buy one hundred million non-registered bond with 6% interest? Two hundred and thirteen million and two hundred and ninety thousand, deduct from the principal capital, one hundred million, there is still more than one hundred and thirteen million and two hundred and ninety thousand, you can retire and travel all over the world with the interest.”
The airline attendant stretched herself and said flatteringly “How can I have one hundred million!”
The honest man replied “ Borrow. I just borrowed money. But remember you have to return after borrowing, it is what an ‘honest man’ do.”
March 11, 201824 - EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF ELECTRICITY
Hello! I'm writing a letter of complaint for my land lord to advise everyone in the house should save electricity. Can anyone help me to correct it? Thank you very much!
Oven - Consume large amounts of electricity . Should be used sensibly. <o:p></o:p>
Hot Baths - the water heater consumes large amounts of electricity. The showers should be taken quickly.<o:p></o:p>
Washing Machine-Should be used only with full loads of clothing, about 7 kg. Washing with small amounts of laundry consumes same energy when the machine is full and can do harm to the machine. <o:p></o:p>
Toasters and small household electric appliances - Though they are small, they also consume a lot of electricity. They should be used sensibly.<o:p></o:p>
Lights: I have come across sometimes with lights on while no one was there, which also increased the consumption.
The use of several appliances at the same time throws the electricity down, so the management of the use of appliances should be practical. If this level of electricity consumption is maintained, in the next months of your contracts, I will have to increase your rent by around <font face="宋体">€ </font><font face="Calibri">20 / month / room.</font>
To avoid the increase I urge you to follow the above process. I would like to point out that it is forbidden to dry clothes on the heaters, because of the fire hazard!<o:p></o:p>
