    Часть 2 исправления, или предложение? Я … был отвлечен. Я видел эту ветвь и думал только, как тихий и мирный это появилось». «Это является мирным и тихим здесь», сказала Леопардесса. И были тихими на мгновение, звуки мира, приглушенного, и отдаленными. «Это - из-за того, чтобы быть настолько высоким в дереве — сказала обезьяна, — что мир кажется пока далеко». «Я думаю, что это приближает мир — сказала Леопардесса, не соглашаясь — Я могу видеть настолько больше из этого отсюда. Я фактически чувствую себя ближе к миру здесь». «Это интересно — сказала обезьяна. Подскакивая к новой мысли, обезьяна сказала с легкостью — Вы далеки от дома». Леопардесса расценила обезьяну любопытно, — Как сказать это? — Вы блуждаете. Вы не кажетесь потерянными. Чем еще это может быть? — Да. Я любопытенa миром. —Но ваша семья. Ваши родители. Ваша мать должна волноваться о Вас. — Вы - обезьяна. Я - леопард. Это немного отлично для меня. — Но, даже в этом случае, Вы … очень молодaя. — « Да ». Это с примечанием гордости. Оба снова упали тихие к их собственным мыслям. Обезьяна думала, как прекрасные существа - то, когда они молоды — и затем поняли, что Leopardess искал помощника — и даже не знал это все же. Он сказал, несколько абстрактно, « Да. Мир является большим. Я не хотел нарушать ваш мир. Я даже не знал, что Вы были здесь, хотя это кажется невероятным, теперь, даже к моим ушам». — « Я не мстителен или злобен », сказала Леопардесса. — Нет. Я могу видеть это.

    Часть 1 исправления, или предложение? Леопардесса и Обезьяна Молодая Леопардесса слегка спала на большой ветви в тени дерева, где она нашла убежище с душного дня. Внезапно, без предупреждения, ее лапа захватила обезьяну, кто, рассеянно, блуждал, чтобы закрыться. Ее лапа опиралась на живот обезьяны, прикрепляя обезьяну обратно к ветви. Слишком удивленный быстротой, которой он был захвачен, чтобы бояться, обезьяна думала, — Как замечательный я не уже мертв для моей небрежности, — и принял его судьбу с отставкой. Леопардесса изучила лицо обезьяны спокойно, —Необычный, — думала она, — эта обезьяна не делает никакой попытки убежать. Она сказала ее пленнику, «Обезьяна — ваше любопытство вынуждает меня полагать, что Вы - кот части». «Мое любопытство? — обезьяна в небольшом количестве беспорядка ответила, — о чем Вы говорите? » «Разве Вы не слышали, что другие предупредили Вас? — Леопардесса спрашивал. — Только очень молодая обезьяна, смелая и глупая, смела бы рисковать так близко ». «Я — стар — обезьяна сказала просто. — Молодые дразнят меня и дают мне не мир. Я … был отвлечен. Я видел эту ветвь и думал только, как тихий и мирный это появилось». «Это является мирным и тихим здесь», сказала Леопардесса. И были тихими на мгновение, звуки мира, приглушенного, и отдаленными. «Это - из-за того, чтобы быть настолько высоким в дереве — сказала обезьяна, — что мир кажется пока далеко».

    The society in which I would like to live in, is, a system which is not the result of voting or consensus after an exchange of opinions, nor, as a result of every possible agreement, nor as the result of dictatorial decrees, but, as a result of the application of scientifically proven laws, to which Reason is subordinated. No one thinks to discuss the legality of an application of the Ohm's Law. So why do it in sociology?

    I like watching movies, and am knowledgeable about them. I am always aware of new films, and like to discuss them. These are your own words, with some minor adjustments. I have to think that, for yourself, you would find these most natural.

    A Sticky Business

    It was a common village with a church and a few houses around it. The only uncommon thing out of place was the church and the clock in it. The church was very old, and so was the clock. Everybody took pride in both of them. One day,  however,  the church clock suddenly stopped. There were rumors on the matter, but no one could exactly explain why it happened.

    So the vicar, as the one in charge, took a lamp and climbed into the clock tower. After the scrutiny of the place, he found that the clock had been invaded by bees. All the gears of the clock were covered in honey and wax. He became indecisive about what to do next. If he tried to clean the clock the bees could attack him,  and who knew what could happen. 

    In the end, he got down and called for a bee keeper. The bee keeper, after a bit of thinking, removed the queen bee, and as he did so the other bees followed her and flied away. After the bees went away,  the clock was serviced,  and it started to work again.


    The Vicar was awakened by the strikes of the clock. He was surprised, because this clock hadn't been working for ages. He became curious, and walked to the tower to see what had happened.

    At the tower he found, that, a friend had repaired the clock, but with one glitch -- the clock made thirteen strikes when it should have struck only once. After discussing the issue with his friend, they decided it was better to have a clock with a flaw, than a nonworking clock.

    Power from the Sky

    Ever since a child, when in pain, sorrow and grief, or in bewilderment, I often found myself, alone, in a secluded place, where I could stare at the firmament. It would not matter if it was under the scorching heat of the sun, or under the shimmering brightness of the moon and star, as long as I could gaze as long as I wanted.

    It's been my life routine and until now, whenever I feel empty, lonely, troubled or scared, I just look up at the heaven, and miraculously afterwards I feel peace and serenity. I don't know why, but just beholding the sky comforts and calms me. Maybe because of its charm and beauty from dusk till dawn, or because of its awesome existence for billions years that shows a spirit of infinity.

    Whatever it may be I believe there is a power behind the sky. One thing I am grateful for, is, that, I understand that behind the grandeur of the vast welkin, behind the wonderful colors of the rainbows, behind the magnificence of the illuminating moon and the twinkling of the stars, is a power of a great being that never tires to care, to watch and listen. And I know that whatever censored things or things that happen underneath the sky will have its own compensation in due time, and this is my hope. My only supplication is that, may He never cover His ears with clouds towards my prayers and not listen... For I rejoice in His majesty that reflects in the comfort I feel in that wide blue yonder, and forever I will glory in that empyrean power I found in the sky...

    New Concept English (Lesson 1).

    Please check for grammar and words used in the following writing.

    ---
    Mrs. Stone had spend the whole morning cleaning the house and preparing lunch for her husband. It was nearly lunch time when she decided to walk out to the nearest grove to pick some blackberries as a change from the usual meal.

    She was at the very edge of the forest when she heard a noise in nearby bushes. She listened intently, because the sounds were rather unusual. Then she saw an animal that looked like a big black cat. She knew it was not a cat, because it was much bigger then an ordinary cat, or even a dog.

    The animal suddenly twitched as it spotted the woman, and the woman thought the animal was going to attack her. She dropped her basket and stood still. Hearing the sound, the animal suddenly ran, and Mrs. Stone didn't even bother to pick up her basket, and ran all the way home.

    She told her neighbors that there was a puma at the nearby grove, but they didn't believe her. She also telephoned the police, but they refused to take any actions on the case and only registered her call.
    ---

    There were several marks from which experts concluded that a puma in the surroundings of London was a reality. First, a woman saw something that looked like a big black cat at the nearby forest. Second, there were dead deers and small animals like rabbits. Third, a number of complaints about noises similar to mewing at night were received from inhabitants of the area by investigators. Finally, paw prints and puma fur were found. All this convinced the experts that a puma was actually living in the forest.

     

    A very good, story well told. Most of the corrections have to do with tense. The story is told from the past tense, and so the verb tense has to be consistent with something occurring in the past.
