1) are bookkeeper and accountant the same?

2) Am I right if I say:" You can avoid the risk of obsesity when you take in less food"?

3) What is the English for "the quality of the road" in this context: "If I can change one important thing about my country, I would improve the quality of the roads, there are too much potholes on the street. " Does the sentence sound OK?

4) Does this sentence sound right:" Too many people have lost their lives as well as properties in that deluge?". I wonder if there are any word which can replace "properties" here.

Hi Belly Here are some additional comments. "You can avoid the risk of obsesity when you take in less food" Here are some alternatives: "You can avoid becoming obese if you eat sensibly." "You can avoid obsesity if you don't overeat." "If I can change one important thing about my country, I would improve the quality of the roads, there are too much potholes on the street. " Your sentence needs a few corrections (but the word 'thing' should not be made plural): "If I could change one important thing about my country, I would improve the quality of the roads -- there are too many potholes." Does this sentence sound right:" Too many people have lost their lives as well as properties in that deluge?" No, your sentence is awkward.  It sounds as though only dead people lost property.  How about this instead: "That deluge has resulted in too much loss of life and property."

Hi and thanks both Hoa Thai and Yankee,

Those typos I made in sentence II was because I was on the run at the time so I couldn't check but thanks you all.

By the way, Yankee, I need something to ask: Is life and property here uncountable? Property I know the reason why but how about life?

And for Hoa Thai, what are the differences between using - and , ?
