    "Their Minds Are Not in a Healthy State" - A Very Short Summary about Marry Wollstonecraft's Work

    Summary from a Mary Wollstonecraft «A Vindication of the Rights of Woman » (1792) excerpt. 
    Excerpt taken from Estelle B. Freedman’s « The Essentialist Feminist Reader » (2007)

    Mary Wollstonecraft (1759 -1797) is probably one of the most famous feminist in nowadays current feminists’ movements. ['Nowadays' is an adverb, so an adjective is better here.] She embodies a radical view about women’s rights and especially about women’s empowerment. 
    Support of for the French Revolution [I'd revise to 'She supported the French revolution and she had a true fondness...] she had a true fondness for the Enlightenment critique. But she deplored that this critique only applied [apply is present tense, applied is past. Since you used 'deplored' in past tense, 'apply' should be in past tense as well] to men and not to women. Thus, she extended it to be applicable for both men and women. Consequently, her theories were all aimed at finding what could deliver women from men’s authority. [I might revise this to 'Consequently, her theories were all aimed at delivering women from men’s authority.]
    As a people from the eighteen century, she conceives that there is biological differences between men and women. Indeed, she explains that men are more likely to be strength strong [strength is a noun, but you need a verb here]than women. But she also points out that women’s minds can be as toughness ['tough is an adjective, 'toughness' is a noun] as men’s minds. Unfortunately, educational habits for women enfeeble them to false refinement. In this way, she declares that “their minds are not in a healthy state”. Rather than being learned taught, women are instructed to act like a child. They are urged to marry a man and have children without being able to raise children or govern a family so they can be dominated by their husband. Mary Wollstonecraft endeavors [I think 'implores' would sound a little more natural than 'endeavors'--we don't usually use 'endeavor' with an object] women to cease being childish and endorse their duties, namely acting like “rational creatures” and became a virtuous woman and an accomplished [add the 'ed' to make it an adjective; 'accomplish' is a verb] citizen and mother. 
    Hence, Mary Wollstonecraft seems to operate the same call for women’s education as her predecessors and contemporaries. But what changed with her is that she didn’t stressed the particular role of women regarding what’s God could have been chosen for them but she stressed the common humanity of women and men. Furthermore, she claimed political rights for women. At her time, she had been suffering from conservatives’ attacks for what they consider as immoral positions but also for her immoral way of life (she had an open affair and even gave birth to a child out of wedlock). However, she became a touchstone in feminism history. 

    N.B : When I right about what historical figures’ thoughts, I never know which tense I must use. If someone can help me with that, I’ll be really happy to read your advices [for some reason, we only use the word 'advice' as singular.]

    Ronald

    Ronald H. guides us throughout his touching World War II experience as a loyal employee of the British railway industry, belatedly recognized as a strategic player in the Allied victory.
    Right after the war out breaking out, [or after the outbreak of the war] day and night rail transport in the UK falls on times of tempest and trouble. Rail transport engines are mobilized in the war effort by the state, so that highly skilled labor forces. [On a besoin d'une conclusion. 'So that' est comme 'afin que' ou 'pour' alors on doit utiliser une phrase complète avec un verb.] The needs of transportation will never stop increasing: troops, workers, children, Officials, resources, goods …and organization must be rigorously adjusted daily. Everyday life is getting harder and harder for railway workers (increasing work time, air raids, gas attacks, lower living standards) despites a few extra unexpected advantages and the alternative American soldiers' approach and their material help.
    Yet civilian-like workers get used to the “war routine” as time advanced and display phlegmatic and remarkable courage and devotion. [You have 'get used to' and 'display' in present tense, but 'advanced' in past tense. So you should probably switched 'advanced' to present tense to stay consistent.] In 1945, they all go on like nothing happened, and Ronald and his peers return to pamper their locomotives.

I just want tell you, grandma, that you were not just my grandma; you are all my life and I never forget you, my best [friend?] and you are still always on in my heart.'

    My life story, Part 25

    When I started to work there, I found myself in an apartment alone with neither colleagues nor costumers. I started to get scared. There were many clothes to be sold there. I wondered what it has had to do with aviculture.
    The boss made a visit [you could say 'paid a visit' or simply 'visited' in lieu of 'made a visit'] in the morning and left and I was alone for the rest of the day. No one came or called. Several days passed like this. There were some books and I made myself busy reading them since I had nothing else to do. [I might revise this to 'There were some books to keep my occupied since I had nothing else to do.']
    One day, the doorbell rang and a young beautiful young woman came and asked me for the money, which that my boss owed her, but my boss had not, tell told me anything about it. I asked her to come back tomorrow the next day so I can could clear the matter with my boss. He asked me about her name, which I did not know. So he told me that the next time you see her, to ask her name, phone number and address the next time I saw her and to give her the money.
    She came back the next morning and I did as my boss had told me. She gave me her name, phone number and address and I gave her the mentioned money [I'd either change to 'the aforementioned money' or just 'I gave her the money]. I was so happy that I finally did something in at my new job. But when I told gave the boss the her name and properties of her information, he got really mad and told me I didn’t owe such person any money, so I should call her number immediately. I did, but soon I soon found that the number belonged to someone else and she had given me a fake name and number.
    I was so upset and didn’t know what to do. When I arrived in the dorm, my father asked me, 'what is the matter with you?' And I explained all what happened to my dad [I'd delete that because it makes it sound like something happened to your dad as opposed to something happened that you told your dad about]. My father told me to stop being sad and [I might revise to simply 'gave me sufficient money to repay my boss'] gave me the money and told me to give the money to your boss.
    The next morning, when my boss arrived in office, I gave him the money and told him, that I couldn’t work there anymore, but he returned the money to me and told me said 'you’re still young and a rookie in the business. You should know that not everybody is honest.'
    I decided not to stay there anymore [I'd revise to 'I decided to leave anyway'.] But I had to be there remain until they could find a new secretory.

    Essay: Money

    Some people say that you don't need much money to be happy. What do you think?

    Money has always been considered as a method of trading and we use it in exchange of essential items needed to survive. But nowadays it has become one of the keys of a successful life. If you want to be an influential and respected person, you have to possess a great amount of money. But, does money give us happiness? 

    First of all, we have to admit that money is an indispensable way of means to satisfying our basic needs. We need goods and services and we can only obtain them through money. Every human being in this world needs to earn a salary in order to buy food, clothes and even shelter. But that doesn't need mean that we need big wealthy large amounts of wealth. On the contrary, those who have less money are proven to be happier.

    Secondly, it's certain that money provides us stability and a good standard of living, which allows us to travel for holidays, have medical assistance, and good food and education. We can purchase entertainment devices too, such as computers and tablets. Some of them are really expensive, but you don't need to have the latest gadgets to be happy, as long as there there are affordable ones out there today. 

    In conclusion, although it is claimed that money brings happiness, I. don't agree with this thought. Money is necessary to some extent but there are things more valuable in this world.

    1 This house suits me perfectly I have nothing to complain about. This house suits me perfectly and I have nothing to complain about. Better option: This house suits me perfectly and I have no complaints. 2 Please give me money for taxi. Please give me money for a taxi. 3 I hate waking up early in the morning and going to work. This sentence is fine. 4 You should leave all the things here you can't take them on the plane. You should leave all the things here. You can't take them on the plane. Another option: You should leave all the things here that you cannot take on the plane.

    Most of the instances I'm thinking of wouldn't be either, they'd just be "the next morning." (He arrived in class on time on Monday, but he was late the next morning.) Do you have a particular sentence where you felt you needed to use one expression or the other? That might make it easier to advise you correctly.
