Default proofreading

Please, dear teachers, could you proofread these sentences?

a) Jonh depends on buses to get to his school because he does not have a car. He waits for the number 10 bus every morning slightly before 7 o'clock.
b) My dog is trained to get/have/bring me beer from the fridge. It's such a smart dog that anyone would be proud of.
c) That doctor's a gift to guess someone's mind by using advanced psycologic methods;
d) The ones who do have not good habits are to make a mess (screw up) of their own lives.
e) A Physics' Law says no one can be at two different places at the same time, it also says time and space studies have been studied so much, they say they are related to each other, it mean, they should not be observed separately.

Thank you very much
