    "All his college friends commute to campus by car or motorcycle, while Abe unfortunately has to walk." Using 'or' instead of 'and' to be clearer that all the friends use one or the other (not both). Can remove 'to campus' at the end because it was used earlier and is therefore sufficiently clear that Abe is walking to campus also.

    "Some are actors, others make props, and some students are in charge of promoting the play." It's usually easier to read to mix up the language a little unless the repetition is intentional to reinforce a point. I prefer my suggestion above for the flow and variation of language, although your suggestion is also grammatically correct.

    Wholesome food is healthy, and a wholesome person is associated with good health but also good morals. A calm, caring and trustworthy individual.

    This must be in the order of ‘otherwise feared’ and refers to what was feared before stimulus measures were announced, in the early stages of the crisis being referred to.

    'Chuffed' is more for things which you are extra happy about, like you had a stroke of luck. So as Andrew mentioned, you can be 'chuffed' about a new job, because you might feel lucky to have gotten it. But doing an everyday thing which makes you happy is not something you would say makes you feel chuffed.

    They can 'insist on' smoking, or 'persist with' smoking, but not 'persist on'. Certainly breathing in smoke can have it's disadvantages, but a better word there may be 'dangers' or 'risks' (to their health). So you might say "Most of the smokers persist with smoking, even though they know the dangers of it."

    'A' is a complete sentence, whereas 'B' is not (or only when given as a short response to a question such as 'Which cat?, as Michael points out). The verb needs to be in continuous form, as a name is given not as a moment in time, but as a continuous thing. Therefore, 'is called' and 'was called' are acceptable, but simply 'called' is not. You would say 'was called' if the cat is deceased or if you are telling a story about a cat that you interacted with in the past but don't anymore (i.e. "the cat which belonged to my first housemate was called 'Tom'"). Alternatively, you may say "The cat called Fatty ..." followed by a verb, in a Subject-Verb(-Object) structure. E.g. The cat called Fatty eats too much.

    My first dairy entry

    It's This is my first dairy entry on italki!
    Today is the first day of the Chinese new year, the year of the pig. Such a sunny day today! My family visited the botanical garden and saw lots of orchid flowers. How colorful and elegant are these flowers are!* However, I also appreciate the cacti around the corner where which nobody notices and therefore no cell phones follows take photos. **

    I will try to write more English diary entries this year.I like the pig year of the pig. :)


    * Having 'are' before 'these flowers' sounds more like an older English writing style. More natural to have the 'are' at the end, or go with Steve's suggestion which is more likely used in spoken English.

    ** I think this is what you might be trying to say here :) Cacti is the plural of cactus, I'm assuming the garden has several cacti and therefore plural is appropriate.
