I'd be grateful if you could take some time out to correct my essay. Thank you so much in advance! This essay is about 270 words. Also let me if there's anything I can help! ( If you're learning Chinese, hit me up!!) With modern consumerism and growing population, there has been a steady increase in the rubbish we produce each day. Nowadays, more and more people are drawing attention to this problem. This essay will discuss possible causes of this issue and list ways governments can do to help cut down the amount of garbage we produce. Two main factors are behind the rise in garbage and waste. One is the throw-away culture we have. People tend to buy disposable items for convenience and throw them away after using once or twice. This is closely linked to consumerism and the insufficient knowledge people have about garbage. Two is over packaging. Products with excessive packaging will naturally create more garbage and waste. Along with the tendency of using plastic materials in packaging, it’s more tricky to dispose garbage with harming the environment. What governments can do to eliminate the garbage we produce are as follows. First, governments can put in an effort in term of educating the public about waste sorting and recycling to properly dispose the garbage we already have and encourage people to have a more sustainable lifestyle. Second, governments should have certain regulations and policies in place for unnecessary packaging and encourage manufacturers to incorporate more bio-degradable material in packaging. In conclusion, unless efforts are made to reduce the amount of garbage we produce,this problem will continue to escalate. While governments have a critical role to play,individuals too need to take responsibility in order to cut down on waste and garbage.

One question: Do you guys say "where is my glasses? " or "where are my glasses? " I'm quite confused because when you say is, it makes sense because it's one single object. But glasses is a plural form.

What are the differences between if I am to do something and if I was to do something? For example: "If you are to write an essay, please hand it in by Friday." "If I were to write an essay, I wouldn't write about that." Those examples above are created by myself, if there's any mistake feel free to correct. Thank you so much for taking the time out to answer my question. I appreciate your time and effort. Have a great day😆😆

Is the sentence grammatically correct? They look like a bear. If this sentence sounds bit unnatural, could I say they look like bears. I find it confusing sometimes for me. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I appreciate your help. Have a nice day 😋😋

Is it impolite to laugh when someone just complimented on you? Or would the other person assume that you think their compliments are insincere? I recently had an encounter with an Italian guy. When he said, oh, your English is so great. I kinda laughed a little at that. And then when he sense that I was laughing he said I'm being serious. I don't remember if said thank you or not. ( I know that I'm supposed to say thank you when someone compliments on me😂,but then I just went blanked and didn't know what to say.) How would you react to these kind of situations? How would you react to someone's compliments when you sort of feel like they might be exaggerating? I'd appreciate it if you could kindly answer my questions. Thank you so much for your time!

Hey, I'd grateful if you could help me correct this. Thank you for taking your time to help me out in advance. Book summary/book review of the flate share (Spoiler alert if you're reading this novel😂) I read this book in December 2020. It was a great romance novel, I absolutely enjoyed every chapter of it. I'd say this novel is the "feel-good" type of book, because it doesn't include plot lines that make you cry or wish there would be a different outcome. The story took place in London. Tiffy is looking for a place to live because she recently discovered her boyfriend Justin had been cheating and wanted to move out of his place. Leon who works as a night-shift nurse is looking for ways to earn some extra money to help his wrongly imprisoned bother out of prison. Tiffy has a nine-to-five schedule and Leon works at nights, they became flatmates and haven't even actually met. They started to left notes at home for each other, first notes about things like who should take the trash out but then they started joking and having deeper conversations on notes. They found out they have a lot in common and became friends. One day, they accidentally met in their apartment because Tiffy overslept. They scheduled plans together and started dating. Just as their relationship was developing, Tiffy's ex started doing stuff trying to ruin it, sending flowers to Tiffy's office, showing up unexpected at their apartment. In the end they were able to deal with Justin successfully and got married. The author told this story in both Tiffy's and Leon's perspective, so I could really get to know both chapters. This is also one of the reasons why I enjoyed it. Over all it was a very slow-paced romcom novel and it was very gratifying to watch their relationship grow.

I'd be grateful if you could help me to correct the following text. Will interpreters be replaced by computers in the future? With the drastic development of modern technology, it seems that computers can do a lot of things for us. We work more efficiently with our laptops, we face time our friends through the internet. But if you are to ask me will interpreters be replaced by computers, I would say probably no. Why computers can't be a replacement? What do human have that computers and machine never will? My reasons are as followings. First, language is subjective. Language helps us convey ideas and express emotions. The same sentence can be said with differing tones, however the meaning of it could be the total opposite. Machines are just machines, they can't help us translate emotions no matter how flawless they seemed to be. Second, computers cannot be trained to recognize cultural differences and potential misunderstandings. But Interpreters can bridge the gap between two languages and two cultures. All kinds of translating tools has been around for quite a long time now. but we are all more willing to hire an interpreter rather than using Google Translate, aren't we? Technology brings us convenience, opportunities and challenges. The challenge for interpreters will be stay on top of the changing tides and be the first to embrace new technology.
