Could you help me correct these sentence I find tough? please


1 The battery indicator on your phone sometimes doesn't work. Sometimes the battery is full even if it says its not.

2 I'm going to have to charge you more than we had originally quoted as this unforseen problem cost me a lot of my time.

3 My codes been the same one for as long as I can remember, to go and change it now would be hard.

4 There are two virtual lines on an esclator, the right side is for people who want the escalator to take them up and the left for people who are in a hurry and walk up the escalator.

5 The 2 models are similar, they just came out at one year intervals. Mine is a year old.

6 She has this very cold gaze and a cold face. She's from Ukraine. They all have this cold beauty.

7 You have as big a chance of seeing me do that as you do of seeing me smoke.

I'm the person who wins the most, whether its for real money or for bragging rights.

8 I'm the type of person thats good at recieving orders not giving them. (is this how you'd say it?)

9 How many more point before/until I get 1000?


thank you

thank you Philip, 


just had 3 questions


4 There are two virtual lines on an esclator, the right side is for people who want the escalator to take them up and the left for people who are in a hurry and walk up the escalator.  (isn't the word IMAGINARY and not virtual?)

5 The 2 models are similar, they just came out at one year intervals. Mine is a year old.  (can you say "the 2 models came out at one year intervals?) not sure?

6 She has this very cold gaze and a cold face. She's from Ukraine. They all have this cold beauty.  (in french people say, elle a une beauté froide?)  (is cold face and cold beauty what americans say?)


thanks

4.  What is given can be understood either way.  A better way to express the concept would be:  stand to the right if you don't want to walk, and use the left side to climb the steps.

5.  The second car came out a year later than the first OR came out after an interval of one year.

6.  In English, a "cold" look would be stern, serious, emotionless, perhaps even evil....but not considered to be anything beautiful.
