I have written a few sentences to train my grammar and punctuation. Would you please correct my mistakes?
1. The eagle soared in the blue sky, what seemed to be hours, before suddenly swooping down and catching a hare.
2. The President tried to speak, but his voice was drowned in jeering and booing of the members of Parliament.
3. The billionaire came out of the court smiling and beaming, visibly satisfied with the decision, to meet the press.
4. The old professor put his hands on each side of the lectern to support himself, and in a wobbly voice gave his lecture.
5. John could not believe his own eyes when he saw his wife kissing and hugging with a stranger on the bus; he could have killed them both on the spot.
6. Bill and his friends went into a pub, ordered their drinks, and chatted friendly with a waitress, who apologized for not being able to serve them any food because the cook was sick.
7. Although the windows were double-glazed, the noise of the traffic was loud, and Peter believed it was only a matter of time when a truck was going to smash into his room.
8. Anna swam away from the shore, and when she turned away, people on the beach were tiny black dots.
9. It was impossible not to notice her, with her long legs and slim figure, who drew looks of horny men and envious women.
10. On an ordinary Sunday morning, a gang of robbers managed to enter the bank, take the money and disappear without a trace, under the eyes of the police, who mistook them for cleaners.
