Please correct my mistakes.


In his class, the teacher recognizes that Mark was called as a fool by his friends. One day, the teacher meet those boys to ask why they called Mark as. One of them answers: “If you give him a nickel and a dime, he will choose a nickel”. To prove this thing a boy takes two coins from his bag and gives Mark. Mark gets a dime and gives the boy back a nickel.

Next day, the teacher asks Mark why you don’t choose a nickel instead of a dime. Mark answers respectfully that if I choose a nickel, next times they will not give me coins.

I think you might have got the coins mixed up. Am I right?

By the way, where did you find that text?
 
Teechar, [STRIKE]it[/STRIKE] do you mean I must give you the source?

Yes, you must provide the source and author of any text you quote if you didn't write it yourself.
 
Hmm. That links to a page that's entirely in Vietnamese. Were you trying to translate that into English?
 
Teechar, yes i am. I got some ideas from that paragraph.

I see. In future, please provide the source (preferably with a link) to any external text that you use.
Always capitalize the personal pronoun "I".
 
This is my rewrite. Thanks for correcting my paragraph.

Please explain for me the difference is between "to recognize" and "to realize".
