- I think that "It seemed like she was convinced" is the best of the 3 sentences. I would add "like" after "seemed" in all of the sentences. Not sure the grammatical rule for that...it just sounds better to me. It seemed like they convinced her. It seemed like they persuaded her.0 votedAugust 6, 20160
Venezuela, today i wa
Hi! my name is Juan, i am 22 years old and today i would like write about my country...Venezuela.
Every morning when i m going to the university, like around 6 am, i pass in front of the market and i see a lot of people waiting for buy some food since last day yesterday?, there are two kinds of people, the kind who really need the food (like a 80%) and the other kind, the resellers (we called them "Bachaqueros"). These people buy food with the intention of reselling it at a really expensive cost, For example: If an apple costs 3.00 $ they are going to resell it for 30.00 $ and everybody has a day to buy, it depends on our last number ID, i only can buy the fridays because my last number ID ends in 9.
On my way to the university ( I'm a business administration student in to a public university) i am afraid of the thieves in the street, there are too many thieves outside , My friends and I have been victims to the insecurity many times, and is impossible not to feel afraid.
After class I go to work in a drugstore between 2 and 10 pm, in the drugstore i see sick people the who can´t find their medications to get well and it is maddening, i would like help more people but i can't.
Venezuela is a lovely place and we are not going to get surrender, every one of us has his way of growing up and today i want to learn new lenguages (English, Chinesse) to be able to be a better man and help, help all of the people the who i am able.
!good nigth, morning or afternoon! wherever you are, i´m grateful be your time with this letter.Thank you so much for sharing about your country! I am sorry that food and medicine is difficult to buy, and that you have to deal with thrives as you walk to school! Good job writing in English!
- in your first sentence, the word "like" is used in casual conversation more than in writing
- not sure if you meant that people have been standing in line since yesterday...so that might be the wrong correction
- make sure you put an apostrophe when you say I'm or can't
- not sure if you want explanations for all of my corrections...if you would like me to explain, let me know!

Have you felt worried about the problem of garbage in your city?, Have you ever thrown trash in the street?, you think if all of us were aware of the damage that we produce to the environment, we would change our daily life actions?
Garbage is produced in our homes, businesses and some industrial sources. so if we change our habits we will help with the garbage problem. of course we can, all changes start with ourselves. for example, I use only one bottle of water all the week when I am working, when the bottle is empty I wash and reuse it, other thing that you can do is utilize recyclable sheet instead of normal sheet.
As you can see, exists many forms there are many ways to contribute with the environment.nice job! I changed some of the punctuation...a few run-on sentences.
-I"m not an English teacher, so I'm sure there is an official reason why "felt worried" doesn't really work...you would say "felt sad" or felt happy...but for some reason, "felt worried" doesn't sound right. Maybe someone else can explain to you
-I would say "trash" instead of waste...though waste would work technically.
- Our instead of ours...because it's referring to "life actions".
- I would say one bottle instead of "a" bottle.
- Also, wash and reuse it, instead of wash it and reuse.
- I'm not sure what a recyclable sheet is...to me a sheet means the covering for a bed...maybe referring to plastic wrap or foil?
-I think you are trying to say "there are many ways" on the last line
anyhow...great job!!
