- At the weekend I wake up and I make my breakfast. At the weekend I like to make a nice breakfast so I don't eat cereal. I eat cereal during the week. I like to prepare coffee and toast. I love to put butter and jam on my toast. After I eat my breakfast I have to clean my house. I clean my rooms, I vacuum, I wash the windows, I wash the dishes and I do my laundry. I do all that on Saturday because on Sunday I just have fun.0 votedOctober 12, 20180
- teachers can be stricter with children than parents given that parents usually spoil their children excessively.
I didn't understand "parents given that...."
The first clause of the sentence is the conclusion. And the conclusion is made base on the fact that is stated after "given that". So the fact is that parents spoil their children. Based on this information, one can conclude that teachers can be sticter than parents.
Another example of the phrase:
Given that it takes an hour to drive to work, you should leave at seven am if you want to be there for eight.
So the fact, or information following the phrase "given that" is the information that has been given to you.

To start with, there is a lack of dead sea otters. If experts watch on the beach of Alaska, they can find traces of them because predators eat them right away. This directly opposes the reading passage which states that pollution such as oil rigs could decrease the otter population. Secondly, orcas lead to (or bring about) the decline of all species mentioned. As humans have ceased hunting whales, orcas have been obliged to change their diet (I inserted "been obliged to" here as it suggests cause and effect). Now they eat smaller mammals like seals. Again this refutes what is stated in the reading passage which stated(I would not use stated twice in succession- a word of similar meaning such as declared or concluded would sound better) that pollution is responsible for the death (culprit is not quite right here)of other sea mammals such as seals. Thirdly, predation is the reason for the uneven pattern of otter decline. Otters stay in locations where they are more likely to be hunted by orcas.
You can also say "The reasons are as follows: x; y and z. However this construction is all contained in the one sentence and so it is more suited to shorter or less detailed lists.
When writing formally, try to keep your sentences short and limit them to one or two clauses with the simplest construction that you can think of. Otherwise, small grammatical mistakes distort the meaning and make the overall sense of the paragraph difficult to follow.

Just to explain further (or for example...), last Tuesday and Wednesday I was correcting tests until 12 am — and then I had to post the results to the school system. I’m really tired!
Сейчас пора пицца и пиво!

The other might respond "I do not like the colours though". So though is used to agree with a point, but then to make a counterpoint. Another example- two teenage girls discussing a boy..."He is very handsome." In response "Yes. He is arrogant though."0 votedSeptember 27, 20180
- I have many female friends ("girlfriends" is used for romantic love) but few of them are close to me (inly one can be the closest, so you cant say few are the closest). Mariam is the closest to me and I like (to say i love her again suggests romantic love- when talking about people the word love should be reserved for family or romances) her very much. the first time I saw or met her was in the ninth grade. I did not imagine that our relationship would be like this someday. it has become a strong relationship. unfortunately she does not study with me at University. she is studying at the University of Mohammed V in Abu Dhabi. I wish that she was with me in the same university. I miss her so much. I will go to her at the Weekend when she returns to her home and we will chat with each other and have fun. also she is a good chef and I love the pasta and cookies that she makes. Thank god for friends because they are the nicest thing in my life and we will stay with each other for a long time. (In spite of the mistakes i understood perfectly everything you were trying to say.)0 votedSeptember 27, 20180
