- There could be different answers for this question depending on context. If you are talking about government, here are the definitions: Council - Towns and cities elect people to represent them in government. They usually elect a Mayor and council members. The number of council members changes from city to city. So Council could be the Town Council (5 members in New York State) or City Council. Committee - used in government and business. A committee is appointed by the governing body to make recommendations and decisions on various issues. A government committee could be elected officials or regular citizens or both. In business a committee is made up of appointed employees. Examples are Environmental Committee, Ways and Means Committee, Public Safety Committee. The committee could be permanent or temporary to study a particular problem. Commission - a group of people appointed to look into a specific problem or do a specific task. Some examples would be the United Nations Commission for Refugees or, the Commission to redesign the Courthouse. Commissions are usually not permanent.0 votedDecember 3, 20170
Classroom
Now, I'm in my classroom doing my tasks but I'm feel bored, so I just open go on the web and looking for good pictures.First sentence: could be either . . . but I'm bored . . . or . . . but I feel bored . . .
We usually say: "go on the web" or "get on the web" rather than "open the web".
Last correction: you could say . . . and look for good pictures. or . . . looking for a good picture. It depends on whether you are looking for one picture or more than one picture.
What you wrote is very understandable, and anyone that knows English would understand you.

Besides, all of the emails I try to send won't go through. They go straight into my junk box. I would like to know if I could mailed email it to you and have this it printed out so that I can wrote write my report by hand and then have it scanned into the computer and sent back to my e-mail."

My friend ordered a rebecca handbag online for her friend yesterday. But the network was pretty bad when she was checking out. She had no patience with that,. Sso she pressed 'place order' Button 10 times. However it still did not work. then she logged off the website and just waited for getting the order confirmation by email. She didno't get it after few
hours.then she checked her credit card. it was pending 10 times on that card. So she gave me a phone call to ask for help and told me that she might have left the wrong email address.but she is not sure.
I called customer service. but the servicer said they did not get any information about it. she is very in apanic about it. My bf told me that we could call the card company to cancel these pending transactions. then I told her to cancel pending and go to that the website to order one more time with another credit card. Finially this the problem was solved.servicer - should be service person
didnot - use either didn"t or did not
你写的英语很好。

If I am a frog, I want to travel all over the world.
But, firstly,I need to find a company.Because traveling by myself will feel lonely.
I plan to walk to Xizhang, where rivers join together and mountains touch to the sky. I want to see wonderful sights. Then,I want to swim in the sea. I am good at swimming, so I won't sink and I will happily play with fish happily.
I will see many frogs,who have different skin color. I am sure that I will make friends with them and be friendly to everyone. haha, Can you guess I am a white frog..Comment: This is very good. My corrections are minor. Good work.

Today I go to work by bike（今天我骑自行车去上班）, It's spend fifty five minutes(用了55分钟）, Include ferry across the HangPu river once(包括摆渡黄浦一次).Today I go to work by bike. We usually say: I will go to work by bike today. if talking about the future, like in the morning before going to work. If you are at work, you could say: I came to work by bike today. If you returned home after work you can say: I went to work by bike today.
It's spend fifty five minutes. I think you want to say: I spent fifty five minutes.
Include ferry across the HangPu river once. I looked at the Chinese translation, and can not understand what you want to say. The sentence needs more context. 可能：包括摆渡有许多方法来跨越渡黄浦. In English: Including ferry, there are many ways to cross HangPu River.
I hope this helps.

Hello friends! Have nice day! Please, look trough my writing and give your notes about it. Thanks in advance!
Pocket money weather whether it is good or not. <-- not a complete sentence, but we can consider it a title.Let’s try to think and find out pro and contra.
Many parents around the world give money to children. Money is an important part of the world, where we live. and Parents giving money to their children help them understand its role. Children get use to managing their own wealth, making their own decision on how to spend money and understanding what money really is. Pocket money, in additional, makes children feel more independent and self-reliant and give an opportunity to develop flairs.
On the other side when children get too much money for nothing it can give them the wrong sense that they have not worked to achieve something. Money also can bring troubles because it makes such things as alcohol and drugs more accessible.
However, some parents think that pocket money is not necessary at all. There are doubtless many doubtless advantages of such an opinion. For example, children are under more strict control when they have not do not have their own money. Outside of the house, trying to get money, they may be involved in gangs which sometimes not so well for the future.
In my opinion children must stay free as much as it is possible to discover the world. Money is not a goal and is not much more or less than one of the many instruments methods to achieve aims. Parents should get to know their child with such methods instrument as well as with others.Comment: Very good, you chose to write very advanced sentences.
0 votedJuly 26, 20160moving to another country
Hi, there. I wrote three paragraphs of my essay and I would like you to tell me my errors, please.
"Moving to another country is a very important and delicate decision. It really demands much planning and, abover all, that people should be aware of what it takes to dive into a totally different culture.
For the most part, we are faced with cultural practices that, at first sight, may scare us. That is why some people, although living in a different country from their home-country, are reluctant to letting go of their habitual customs and cling onto them.
When one moves into another country, one makes the decision to be part of its society, and thus to share its customs. That does not mean that one has to cast off one's old habits, but that one should at least be respectful of others' culture and understand that things socially accepted in one's home-country may be frowned upon in another one."
Thank you so muchComment: Very good writing!

Everyday, from 7am until 9pm I do my work. I am physiotherapist and I give classes of Pilates. I love what I do. However I am get really tired at the end of the week because of my long journey from Monday till Friday. Of course, I take a rest after lunch, because I return to my work at 2pm. Besides at 5pm I go to my English classes. Nevertheless, I want to continue to study more and more and become better in English and improve my knowledge in physiotherapy.Comment: Good work. Your sentence structure is excellent. The corrections are very minor and partly style like breaking up a long sentence. Also, for formal writing time should be 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
