And sorry - I don't understand your second question.

Answer

Thanks for pointing out the mistakes.

Answer

Yeah some mistakes because actually you can't introduce an author as a guy then one of the things* or one of both things* and finally using the  word fast isn't correct because here you might use an adverb or a comparative form then you say : how can we improve or look up our language faster
