&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;The first thing I notice is that you have very big problems with run-on sentences. That means you are joining sentences just by using&amp;nbsp; a comma.&amp;nbsp; Thats not correct grammar. You shouldn&amp;#39;t do that. Please try to go through and split your writing up into shorter&amp;nbsp;sentences. I&amp;#39;ve corrected the first few lines for you as an example, in red.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;After that, we can look at other errors, if you want to.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Clive.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;An animal that interested me is a Sugar Glider. They live Australia, Indonesia and New guinea. They fly around to move .Sugar Gliders eat different varieties of food like insects, worms, baby birds, lizards, and a variety of fruits and berries, they also like sap, nectar. A Sugar Glider is endangered. They are getting killed by Goannas ,Foxes and Cats. Sugar gliders are about 5-6 inches , they have usually grey/silver fur with white bellies and a black stripe which extends from the tops of their heads to the end of their tails. A sugar glider chew their food like humans. Sugar Gliders mate during the winter and spring. It takes about 15 to 16 days after mating that sugar gliders baby passes through the sugar gliders body and crawl to it pouch from the pouch it takes 60 to 70 days to be born. Sugar glider change over the years when they are in a cage their whole life. They silently crash in their cage and die quietly. That is why sugar gliders interest me&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: please check my paragraph</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCheckMyParagraph/zcmbr/post.htm#430916</link><pubDate>Mon, 15 Oct 2007 02:33:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:430916</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><slash:comments>8</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCheckMyParagraph/zcmbr/post.htm#430916</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments9-430916.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>thanks</description></item><item><title>Re: please check my paragraph</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCheckMyParagraph/zclqx/post.htm#430896</link><pubDate>Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:31:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:430896</guid><dc:creator>Grammar Geek</dc:creator><slash:comments>9</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCheckMyParagraph/zclqx/post.htm#430896</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments9-430896.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;table width="85%"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="txt4"&gt;&lt;img src="/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;El-kayser wrote:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="quoteTable"&gt;&lt;table width="100%"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="100%" valign="top" class="txt4"&gt;Modern Technology We are on thresholds of a new era which is full of modern inventions.

In the field of agriculture, it has helped farmers &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #7fffd4"&gt;to save many months of hard wor&lt;U&gt;k&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;. Moreover, it has helped scientists &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #7fffd4"&gt;to save so many years of hard work&lt;/FONT&gt;, research and experiments. On the other hand, it has made man lazier than before. &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #7fffd4"&gt;He &lt;/FONT&gt;no longer uses his legs after inventing cars. He also&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #7fffd4"&gt;&lt;STRIKE&gt;,&lt;/STRIKE&gt; no&amp;nbsp;comma here&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;no longer uses his hands after inventing remote sets. &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #7fffd4"&gt;This one is not a good example. &lt;/FONT&gt;In addition&lt;U&gt;,&lt;/U&gt;&lt;STRIKE&gt; to that&lt;/STRIKE&gt; &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #7fffd4"&gt;it - use "technology" instead of "it" &lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;has &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #7fffd4"&gt;managed - not a good word choice &lt;/FONT&gt;man to produce destructive weapons and &lt;U&gt;weapons of &lt;/U&gt;mass destructive&lt;STRIKE&gt; ones&lt;/STRIKE&gt;.

&lt;P&gt;"save many months of hard work" and "save so many years of hard work" don't really work. What did you mean to say?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It's not common to use "he" to refer to all of mankind any longer, and it can be considered sexist to refer to "man" these days instead of "people."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you need another example to replace the one with the remote - which is NOT a good choice - consider how people interact with each other now instead of how they did in ages past.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: please check my paragraph</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCheckMyParagraph/zclnh/post.htm#430838</link><pubDate>Sun, 14 Oct 2007 20:47:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:430838</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><slash:comments>10</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCheckMyParagraph/zclnh/post.htm#430838</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments9-430838.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>please check my paragraphs</description></item><item><title>Re: please check my paragraph</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCheckMyParagraph/zckrd/post.htm#430324</link><pubDate>Sat, 13 Oct 2007 05:53:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:430324</guid><dc:creator>El-kayser</dc:creator><slash:comments>11</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCheckMyParagraph/zckrd/post.htm#430324</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments9-430324.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Modern Technology&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are on thresholds of a new era which is full of modern inventions.
