Hello,
Here is a comment made by a student about Samantha Garvey, a 17-year-old homeless science whiz:
'I'm sure that Samantha's parents are very proud of her. They must be quite happy that their daughter has achieved her aim. It' s really great for her to be given such quantity of money and it is a good deed from the side of the Suffolk County officials to help her family with dwelling. I hope Samantha will go on making contributions to our science and will get what she deserves.'
I can't agree with two points in it. First, 'such quantity of money'. I think 'such a lot of money' or 'that much money' are better.
Secons, to help her family with dwelling'. I think 'to help her family with housing' would be better.
What do you think?
Thank you in advance.
