Tara: I was very sorry to hear you lost some pets last month. Can you describe what happened?Salim: Well,cats are curious and that's what kills them.I used to have fourteen cats. A few weeks ago,one of them started to vomit and hid himself. Then,I found him dead the next day.The same happened with three other ones even if I took them to a vet he couldn't find the sickness.Tara: How are you feeling now?Salim: I'm so sad,because I raised them since their first days on earth.You feel as if you lost a part of yourself.Tara: Do you have any advice for cat owners?Salim: Yes,always look after them. Never let them get in some place where they can find unhealthy stuff.Tara: What was the most difficult part about this loss?Salim: They used to make a lot of sweet noise while playing,they used to enter from the balcony,the windows. But now,all these things are over.Tara: You must be an animal lover if you have that many kitties. Can you tell us about your other pets?Salim: I have a canary,a turtle,some pigeons,and so many goldfinches because they are so popular here.Thank you Salim for agreeing to take part in this interview. May your beloved kitties rest in peace.*Photo courtesy of Salim

One problem is the phrase "made a research". Can you (or any other writer here) try to fix this?
Also, "brush up" is usually used for a skill that we have lost or forgotten. I think "just to refresh our memory" is the best way to phrase it.
Great effort!
I don't know if you missed the interview or if i did send the link to the comment on Writing challenge. I still have problems to manage this website !!!
Now about the editing challenge you gave me : i can feel there is something wrong in those two sentences but i can not really tell you what. So I re-wrote them with the hope they mean what my friend Selma wanted to say.
"I made a research into the trusted source before writing path. Just for a little brush up our memory to recollect quickly."
I tried to stay as close as possible to Selma's sentences.
I made a research among trustable sources before writing them down here, just to help our memory to quickly recall.
Thanks for giving us your time.

Great writing everyone!
The spelling you are looking for is "whether" . :) The word "weather" is only used to describe the temperature or conditions outside (sunny, mild, humid, cool...).
This is a common spelling error, so I'm glad we could use it as a reminder here! :)
Tara
Thank you very much.
Have a good one.
