Let the old dog teach a prideful and bitter woman some grammar t

To be honest, I really feel sorry for your English. Since I am trying to kill some time, I come up with some free advice for you here:

1. For these giants I always cherish great respect. So I am writing this article as the last esteem payed to this great man.

a. Payed -> paid, paid, PAID!
b. I always HAVE great respect to these giants, and so I am writing this article as the last TRIBUTE paid to this great man.


2. Qian was made a Rightist for his courageous critics on China's education reform in 1950s, he was thus deprived of the right of teaching at the University, and arranged to be responsible for cleaning lab for one year followed by working at a plant.

a. You need a conjunction word for the first two sentences “Qian was…” and “he was…’
b. Arranged to be? Sounds very Chinglish. Probably “assigned’ would be better.


3. and in many areas, the roles of the university are now indispensable

-> and in many areas, the university played indispensible roles

4. No life on the earth is immortal, he has thus been passed away.
a. Also need a conjunction word for two sentences or a semicolon.

b. Pass away, not "to be passed away"

--> No life on the earth is immortal; He passed away.

Hahaha! Really enjoy reading your post. So much fun. Thank you, dear.
