Prepare your own bottle filled with water from home or public areas where provide drinking fountains instead of buying bottled drinks from stores when going outside since making bottled drinks would take much more resources to produce.
This sentence is long and can be divided into two to avoid confusion. (at since)
so that would reduce trees to be cut being tissue.
="to reduce the amount of trees being cut down for tissue"
If you want to use "so that" you could write this : "so that fewer trees would be cut down for tissue".
Great work Grace! Thanks for following up with corrections.
You also do a good job to apply them to your daily life, Skyandhill.
I've fixed #2 sentence again, please kindly help to check if they are correct.
Thanks a lot.
Okay, let's look at #2 now:
2. Using handkerchiefs instead of tissue paper when sweating or cleaning the mouth that will reduce trees to be cut being tissue.
In a list like this you need the base form of the verb. You are offering instructions (just like a recipe). Try splitting this sentence in two.
It's ok, many thanks for your time to give the comment here. I'll try to take your advice usng a poster to catch your eyes next time. ^_^
I've tried to fix the places where you've pointed out. Please kindly check if I got the point. Thank you.
Re Corrections:Let's work on the first point in your list (great idea by the way).
1. Recycle / Reuse: I get used to reuse papers, which are printed only one side, or papers from leaflets or calendar. I like dividing them into many pieces of papers to be memoranda or small notebooks. And recycling after they are garbage.
In sentence 1 try to fix the words in bold. Sentence 2 is okay, but it is not a complete sentence. Check the verb form. Let me know when you've tried to fix these. Cheers!
