feeling that he is “very, very” next to you) (Example: ”He
was standing right there, before my eyes!) beside me. We
seldom talked to each other because I was too shy to talk to him.
One day before the mid-term exam, he took
the initiative (“taking the
initiative” means “making the first move”)
to talk
to me.

actively” is very wrong) I was deadly

all over your face”) (“deadly” is not wrong, but an exaggeration)
noticeably surprised and
excited. He asked me about how much I had prepared
I was for the mid-term exam. I told him
confidently
(I guess you were not “proud” but “confident”) proudly
that I was very well prepared
almost ready
(You are not wrong again, just “well
prepared” is better) for the exam. Then, he asked me if I
would let him see my answer sheets on the day of the mid-term exam.
After I realized his motives
(“motives” means “real intentions”. Used usually in a bad way.
Example: “I knew he had some motives when he bought me that gift)

disgusted
(“disgusted” is a feeling of
“shamefulness”) was shocked and confused. I didn’t
know what to I should do.;Should
I help him? to “help” him, or not to “help” him. The
question bothered me all day and all night long.(“all
day and night” is better) In the end, my mother
sensed

told, just by observation) found my unusual behavior
and asked me what happened. I couldn’t help but telling

anniversary was an event. An election was an event. Events have more
important meanings) event. My mother told
advised me that I should turn down
some requests that are beyond my
ability to handle, that I have no time to handle,.(Same
as before) I can’t be able to do, that I’m not free to do,
and that, the most importantly, it
is morally wrong to do so., it’s not right to do. If
the people those who make
the requests can’t respect my
considerations, they should reflect upon
(“upon” is used along with
“reflect”. ) themselves. Finally, I made
up (You
need an “up” here) my mind
to tell the boy that I could not
help him to cheat.(“cheat”
is to get something by unfair means) on such a cheating
thing. As expected, he got

furious and refused to talk to me again.
