Welcome to the forum, Engrove. :hi:
I this is something you have to finish, it sounds like a homework assignment, I'm afraid we don't help with those - your teacher wants to know what you can do, not what we can do.

I'm not sure what the assignment is, but it doesn't matter, because I'm not going to do your work for you anyway.

(I'm hoping somebody will explain what a translation unit is.)

I googled "translation unit". Put simply, it's a portion of text seen as a unit which the translator wishes to translate from one language to another. Hopefully, when the translator translates something from one language to another the two units will be equivalent to each other.

Welcome to the forum. :hi:
As you now know, we do not help with any homework assignments. However, we always correct users' English. Please see my corrections in the quote box above.
1. Use a closing punctuation mark at the end of every sentence, no matter how short.
2. You ran two sentences together. You needed to end one sentence after "get it" and start a new one with "Can".
3. Don't put a space before a question mark.
4. "Allot" is a verb. You needed "a lot". However, we don't say "Thank you a lot". We say "Thank you very much". Note that there is no need to thank anyone in advance.
5. Don't try to make your own emojis. If you really need one, click on the
icon in the toolbar and choose one.Tarheel

Somebody was recently asking about connecting three independent clauses. There's an example for you.
