Could someone correct for me these sentences,? I always have problem about word-verb.

1- At the end of the  1st  semester examination at high school,the aunt dropped by her sister and gave some expensive presents to her niece and her nephew.

2-The children went to the city .to continue their schooling, so her mother should give back her expensive presents and recommend her to call at next time on the vacation Tet.

3-The poet dropped in on her sister to ask  her to translate some verses but she was disappointed about the killing poem translations

4-She will be punctual at her appointment at the beginning of the vacation at the lunar new year because she is very  hard-working in order to shoot a spot in her carreer.

5-At Lunar new year vacation ,she will help her mother to use solfware to chat on line because it's difficult to speak foreign languages  more than write.

To err is human, to forgive divine. 잘못을 저지르는 것은 인간이지만 용서할수있는 것은 하늘과 같은것.

Sorry, I have some confusion because it's very difficult for the beginning to type and the sentences are  in an another language  and different from my  mother tongue.

2-All of the classmates don't rub out against the leader of them.

3- Everybody waits for the ball which comes down  but it bounces up again

4- She calls out for the name of her fan in a football match.

5- Sometimes, she called  at her nephew and her niece in the dormitory in the city.

Thanks in advance

Hello Phuong Ninh

I don't think I am good at this sort of task. But as your request has remained unanswered, I'll try. You'd better wait revisions by native speakers.

On the day (when) the first semester exam ended at high school, the aunt dropped in on her sister to give expensive presents to her niece and her nephew.

But the children still stayed in the city to continue their schooling, so their mother gave the presents back to the aunt and asked her to call again during the lunar new year holiday.

The poet dropped in on her sister to ask her to translate some verses but she was disappointed at the boring poems.
I'm sorry but I can't get what you want to mean by "the killing poem translations".

She will be punctual (to her appointment) even on the first day of the lunar new year holiday, because she is working very hard in order to be given high marks for her career.
I cannot get what you want to mean by "to shoot a spot".

During the lunar new year holiday, she will help her mother (to) use software to chat on line because it's more difficult to speak in foreign languages than to write.

She called out the name of her fan in a football match.
I took you want to say "utter loudly" by "call out"
