| Hello E6636 I'm not quite sure what you mean by "mitigate the insidiousness"; but for "abate the percentage", you could say "lessen the likelihood". I've underlined some other parts of the text that need attention: if you post your amendments, I'll check that they're ok. "All in all, there is no other benefit in possessing a cell phone beside communication. I think scientists should endeavor to find a way to mitigate the insidiousness that brought to human. Otherwise we should stop using cell phone so as to abate the percentage of getting serious disease." All the best, MrP |

| Hello E. I think in that context, I would be more inclined to say "...to reduce the amount of harm they do to human beings..." Did you want me to tell you which other parts need fixing? MrP |

| Hello E Okay, I'll underline the parts that need more attention -- try to spot the problem and rephrase it in each case, and I'll let you know whether you're right or not! Along with the rapid development of technological industries, many ingenious products have emerged in tenolochgical market. However, many of these products have brought us many disadvantages instead of convenience.(Don't be discouraged -- many of the mistakes are very small things, such as singular instead of plural nouns, etc.) All the best, MrP |
