Welcome to the forum. :hi:

1. Were you trying to practise a particular aspect of English with these sentences?
2. You will find, the longer you use the forum, that shorter questions attract more responses. Try to stick to four or five sentences at the most in one thread. I have dealt with your first five below:

1. Sometimes we have disagreements but they don’t last long. :tick:
2. Nowadays, more and more school-leavers [STRIKE]tend to get education[/STRIKE] are educated [STRIKE]in a foreign country[/STRIKE] abroad and the [STRIKE]quantity[/STRIKE] number is constantly increasing.

или are tending? The word in blue is not in English so I can't deal with this part.

3. Firstly, it caused by the prestige value and the high quality of teaching overseas.
This sentence is not grammatical and I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Can you try to write it again using different words?

4. Thirdly, if it’s [STRIKE]one of the[/STRIKE] in an English-speaking [STRIKE]countries[/STRIKE] country, you can improve your language skills.

5. [STRIKE]I can say that[/STRIKE] In my view/opinion, studying abroad gives you more [STRIKE]possibilities[/STRIKE] opportunities to get a well-paid job and [STRIKE]more[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]profound[/STRIKE] a deeper knowledge (of what?); that’s why, if I had [STRIKE]a possibility[/STRIKE] the chance, I would [STRIKE]go to[/STRIKE] study abroad.

Tap the smiley-face icon in the editor, then scroll down in the dialog that opens until you find it.

I hand-type it and the X though. Type : tick : without spaces for :tick: and : cross : for :cross:.
