Hello,

Please look at the following sentences. If I make any mistake, please correct for me.
Thanks.

1. I get tongue-tied as teacher ask a question in class and I can't answer.
2. I feel a lot of anxiety because I have to get my work done this weekend.
3. When I attend the party, I just sit there and don't mingle with others at the party.
4. He is a responsible person so everyone is raving about.

They look pretty good, Guest. Only minimal changes:

1. I get tongue-tied, as teacher ask a question in class and I can't answer.
2. I feel a lot of anxiety because I have to get my work done this weekend.
3. When I attend a party, I just sit there and don't mingle with others.
4. He is a responsible person, so everyone is raving about him.

Perhaps I am intruding, but the sentence 1., I think, should be:

I get tongue-tied when the teacher asks a question in class and I can't answer.

Sand's version looks right

You're both right. I'm a lousy proofreader (witness the thread title-- which I shall now repair).
