Your sentences are mostly natural, but here are a few small tweaks to make them sound even more natural:
- "The only student with low grades was dealing with a lot of family issues." (More common than "sole student.")
- "She's the stepmom of the student with low grades." (No need for "the" before "low grades.")
- "Some kids donât want just anything for Christmas; they want expensive gifts and toys." (Clarifies meaning.)
Everything else sounds natural in everyday spoken English!
Tip: Keep sentences simple and natural by avoiding overly formal words like "sole" in casual speech.
