Yes, though I would probably write "big, black bags under". Around means all round, I usually "bags" are under the eyes.Originally Posted by piousoul

"Saw" is fine, but it should say "had" instead of "have."

By the way, there is a similar thread started by me with the title of "Are they correct" on the same front page.
Would you like to take a look at it and make some comments? Thanks.
