Hello, everyone! I need help with my writing. Could you please correct me? —— Talking with others can be a great comfort to me when I suffer from negative thoughts. —— Recently, even though I have been worked hard on my thesis proposal for many days, my thesis topic is still up in the air. —— I can't convince myself that my research question could be solved properly with the method asked or forced to use by my mentor. —— It seems I am producing a piece of academic trash which I am reluctant to do totally. —— However, after talking with my classmates this afternoon, I felt much better about what I am going to do next. —— We shared a lot about our own thesis topics separately and complained about problems we were facing now and would face later. —— It was a great relief for me to hear they haven't started writing their proposals either and we had very similar problems about it. It may sound mean but it is true. —— On top of that, we put forward many ideas for each other's research, and encouraged each other to move on. —— Maybe these ideas won't work eventually, but they opened our minds at least. —— I hope you will have a nice day. Thanks for your time.

Hi Alice, My corrections are in brackets. Hello, everyone! I need help with my writing. Could you please correct me? —— Talking with others can be a great comfort to (for) me when I suffer from negative thoughts. —— Recently, even though I have been worked (working) hard on my thesis proposal for many days, my thesis topic is still up in the air. —— I can't convince myself that my research question could be solved properly with the method asked or forced to use by my mentor. —— It seems I am producing a piece of academic trash which I am reluctant to do totally. —— However, after talking with my classmates this afternoon, I felt (feel) much better about what I am going to do next. —— We shared a lot about our own thesis topics separately and complained about problems we were facing now and would face later. —— It was a great relief for me to hear they haven't started writing their proposals either and we had very similar problems about it.

Hello, everyone! I need help with my writing. Could you please correct me? —— Talking with others can be of great comfort to me when I suffer from negative thoughts. —— Even though I have been working hard on my thesis proposal for days, the topic is still up in the air. —— I can't convince myself that my research question could be solved properly with the method required, or forced, to use by my mentor. —— It seems I am producing a piece of academic trash which, I am totally reluctant to do (unsure exactly what you want to say. You could also say “It seems I am producing a piece of academic trash, which I am reluctant to complete”, if you mean you do not want to finish it)—— However, after talking with my classmates this afternoon, I felt much better about what I will be doing next. —— We shared a lot about our own thesis topics separately, and complained about problems we were facing both now as well as what we would face later. —— It was a great relief for me to hear they haven't started writing their proposals either, and we had very similar problems in that regard. It may sound mean, but it is true. —— On top of that, we put forward many ideas for each other's research, and encouraged each other to move on. —— Maybe these ideas won't work in the end, but at least they opened our minds. —— I hope you will have a nice day.
