"In the future I will try to do better." or "In the future I will try and do better."

My teacher claims that they are two different things.

The translation from google translate is 'rags'... but is it slang for clothes or something??

'You do everything without complaint'

And yes, I know they are both grammatically correct and the meanings are both the same, but which one should I use?

Her mother believed that her Doctor always did everything for a reason and that her medicine would give her strength

Is there anything here that needs to be improved or corrected?

==========================

The English Civil War was one of the most significant wars in English history. Lasting from 1642 to 1651, the outbreak of war in England was largely the result of a period of conflicts between supporters of the king, also known as Cavaliers and the supporters of Parliament, nicknamed Roundheads. The arguments that ensued between these two groups over religion, finance and political power are the main causes to why war broke out.

The rehabilitation centres that were opened sheltered not only domestic abuse victims, but also welcomed those with special needs.

"Sarah bought house, just like the one that her mother had envisioned."

"A countless number of people were left without homes."

Is there anything here that I need to change? I'm not sure whether it makes any sense so I also need to know if the things I wrote are factually correct. Any suggestions are welcome!

Advantages to diverse plant life in a habitat:

1. A variety of plant life welcomes new forms of life.

The presence of a variety of plants results in a diverse food web which will support a larger variety of life.

2. A variety of plant life makes its ecosystem stronger and sustainable.

Environments with diversity of plant life have the ability to recover from natural disasters better than those with limited diversity. Ecosystems with a wide variety of different plants are usually resilient and more stable than those with homogeneous plant life.

3. Diverse plant life helps better environmental conditions.

Plants react not only with other organisms, but also with the air, water, and soil that surround them. An ecosystem with a mixture of plant life is beautiful and enriches the quality of the environment.

4. Plants play an enormous part in our lives. Diverseness of plant life not only provides a wide variety of food for human consumption , but also medicines, and countless other useful natural resources.

Which handwriting style do you prefer?

Are there any corrections I need to make? Do you think it is written alright? Thanks!

Booker Taliaffero Washington is arguably one of the most influential African American Civil Rights leaders in history. He was the leading spokesperson for former African American slaves during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as an educator and writer

Washington was born into slavery in 1856, on a cotton plantation in Franklin County, Virginia. After the Emancipation was passed, Washington and his family were liberated and moved to West Virginia, where Washington spent most of his childhood. He worked at a salt mine during the day and studiously attended the night school in the evenings. In 1872, Booker decided leave home to enrol into the Hampton Institute in Virginia. His hard working spirit and thirst for knowledge both played a role in his acceptance into the Hampton, where he received his education, and eventually stayed on as a teacher.

In 1881, at the turning point of Booker’s life, he received a recommendation from the president of the Hampton Institute and was recruited to head the new Tuskegee Institute in the ‘Black Belt’ of Alabama. The new school flourished and expanded under Washington’s leadership. Tuskegee’s students not only received a good education, but also gained knowledge in numerous practical skills and trades. Washington strongly believed in the value and dignity of labour and impressed these principles on the students of Tuskegee. Both the school and community and greatly benefited from the new enterprises that resulted from Washington’s efforts. Washington frequently travelled to make the work at Tuskegee known and to raise funds for the Institute. He soon became well known and became skilled in public speaking which eventually led to his involvement as a civil rights leader

As Washington travelled around the South to gain support for the school, he began to receive invitations to speak publicly, and soon became involved public speaking and politics.

In 1895, Washington was given the opportunity to speak at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, where he delivered his famous speech: the Atlanta Exposition Address. In this revolutionary speech he stressed the need of hard work and urged both races to cooperate, and work in harmony. He believed that hard work was the key to success and would better the Blacks lives, and encouraged African Americans to work form the bottom until they reached the top. After this event, he rose to prominence and gained the attention of many important political figures, and became the chief spokesperson for his race until his death in 1915.

Washington was a man wholly dedicated to help improve the lives of his race, and often went out of his way to visit homes and personally talk with the people to understand their position. Washington was supported and greatly respected by many whites as well as blacks and even became a political advisor to two presidents.

Among Washington’s many great accomplishments, Washington was the first African American to receive a Harvard honorary degree, and was the first of his race to visit the White House. Booker T Washington left a legacy unmatched, and his policies and principles paved the way for civil rights leaders in the years to come.

I sometimes get this strange sudden pang of coldness and sadness. It's not fear, it's just a feeling of deep sadness....especially when I'm alone at night and it's dark and cold.

Are there any corrections I need to make? Do you think it is written alright? Thanks!

The Pilgrim's Progress is a classical allegory written by a 17th-century Puritan, John Bunyan. The story is outwardly physical and inwardly spiritual, but the interpretation of the symbolism used in the book is clear and easy to understand. It tells the tale of a Christian’s pilgrimage from his home in the worldly ‘City of Destruction’ to the Celestial City to live with the King. In the beginning of the book, the author relates to a dream in which the main character of the allegory, fittingly named ‘Christian’, embarks on his journey to the Celestial City. Christian’s journey is not neither simple nor easy. Right from the start, he is scorned by his worldly companions and family. On the way, he is lured by enticing temptations, and is humiliated, scorned, persecuted and rejected for his faith.

The detailed account of this pilgrim’s journey has all the characteristics of an epic adventure story. Temptations and dangers face the brave pilgrim, and characters like ‘Flatterer’ and ‘Worldly-Wiseman’ try to prevent him from reaching his ultimate goal. There is continuous flow of suspense as Christian battles with sin, and fights the ‘Giant of despair’ and the dragon ‘Apollyon’. It also takes the reader to varied places, where Christian meets people who encourage him to persevere, and people who attempt to persuade him to give up his quest and turn back to his home in the City of Destruction

The thing that is unique about the book is how the characters are introduced to the reader The descriptive names of the people Christian encounters aid the reader with clues to understanding their unambiguous background and nature, and the role they play. Along the way, he meets contrasting characters such as Pliable, Talkative, Evangelist, Faithful, Ignorance, Mr. Feeble-Mind, and Hopeful.

The author of the book has paid attention to detail, and the conversations Christian holds with the characters of the story give the reader a clear insight into the life and background of this determined Pilgrim and the people he talks with.

The author of the allegory has skillfully maintained an exciting plot while keeping the moral of the story intact, resulting in an entertaining book with beneficial morals.

Amidst the suspense and adventure, The Pilgrim’s Progress is a true eye opener, and valuable lessons can be learned from the pilgrim’s mistakes. His struggle and battles with worldly temptations are relatable to those we face daily. Every Christian can learn and be encouraged from the Biblical doctrines taught in this story, and will be captivated by the meaningful morals and spiritual value contained within its pages. This thought-provoking book continuously reminds the reader that he is on the same pilgrimage to the Celestial City here on earth, and that the trials and obstacles that Christian faced are ever present in daily life as well. The Pilgrim’s Progress is an excellent book that encourages the reader to walk on with a steadfast and unwavering spirit, just as Christian did - never stopping until he reaches the Celestial City!
