People these days are more technology-driven, so consumer goods such as refrigerators and washing machines are increasing in demand. Although there are a few benefits of this trend, I believe there are far more drawbacks. Admittedly, there are some basic benefits of using consumer goods. Undoubtedly, they save a lot of time and manual labour. For example, while a person is washing clothes with the help of a machine, they can simultaneously do other work and can save both their time and energy. Similarly, using a refrigerator eliminates the need of cooking again and again, which is a blessing for working people. Moreover, its usage also saves the wastage of food*, as it prevents food from getting soggy or rotting quickly. Nevertheless, despite the advantages mentioned above, I believe it has many more disadvantages. With the continuous use of these gadgets, people are getting accustomed to a sedentary lifestyle, resulting in a lot of health issues. Washing clothes manually instead of using a washing machine was once considered the best form of exercise, which would keep an individual fit. Furthermore, in a medical study, it is proven that refrigerating a food kills** its nutritional value because each time people reheating the refrigerated food, it gets oxidized. Although people save their time and energy by using these gadgets, they are playing with their health, which is not justified at all. To conclude,*** it seems we lose more than we gain from using consumer goods such as washing machines and refrigerators.

I started to study English when I was very young; I was seven years old. Before that, I was already curious about the language. For example, I put on the DVD of Barney and Friends with English subtitles and audio. *Even when my formal study of grammar was on pause, I believe that this early contact was instrumental in making my use of English sounds and structures much more natural.* Now, I try to turn that interest into concrete language proficiency. **note: this is a very formal sentence. I am unsure who your audience is. If speaking to friends of family, this vocabulary would be too advanced and formal. If written in an essay for a job or a university, it could be appropriate.** Please let me know if you have any questions! Message me anytime. Thank you! — Emily

One important way in which you can discipline your children is by giving them your attention. Reinforce good things that they do and discourage others. You know that all children need the attention of their parents. You have to make limits for your child which are clear to understand and that they can follow. When you raise your children with good manners, they will have the good behavior which you would like for your children.

Could you correct these sentences into natural English?🙇 1.They were not willing to put me in the picture. I guess they have a skelton in the closet. 2.You should be aware of even the small risks that people around you might have faced before the pandemic. 3.The Cabinet has resigned in a body without rhyme or reason. We need to unravel the whole truth about it. 4.I can't believe such a ridiculous rumour is still going around at work. Please don't take it seriously! 5.Sorry, but what the professor said is totally out of my depth. I would say there is no use attending his class.

I went to my great aunt’s house. I liked her very much. She was always a grandmotherly sort of woman. She (is/was) 20 years younger than my grandma and she (has/had) a child who is 10 years older than me. She (is/was) a math professor. **This afternoon we discussed how to do mathematics. I wasn’t planning on doing it, but my mother forced me. My aunt volunteered to come over the next evening to teach me mathematics again. 

Birthday is popular for children in my country. They usually celebrate birthday parties at home or in a restaurant. If someone has a lot of money they will throw a party in another country. On this occasion, they usually invite their best friends, family, or relatives to join. They are usually given gifts or money. For me, I am really interested in handmade gifts because they represent not only the creativeness, but also the passion of the giver. Therefore, I always appreciate receiving them and try to keep them as long as I can. Another thing different between a child and an adult is when you were a child, you could only celebrate birthday parties at home or invite your friends to join. However, as you mature, you can decide to do more things to make it special, such as traveling to explore new places.
