Dear Lazybone,
   I like this article of you very much, and I wish I could have made it into the area for "good articles", though I was told that it's still beyond my capacity now.(Maybe I will consult David later why I could not dealing with aritcles here as the other administrators do). Nevertheless, there's still one thing I would like to point out for you. Normally, we don't begin a sentence with "And" and "But", for these two words are usually used to link two clauses together to make an entire compound sentence.
Yours sincerely,
Cactus

<FONT color=#3300ff><FONT color=#ff9900><FONT color=#3809f7>That really helps, otherwise I would risk making the same mistake anywhere. According to cactus' guide, I made a little modification. </FONT></FONT></FONT>
<FONT color=#3300ff><FONT color=#ff9900><FONT color=#3809f7>I modified it on impulse owing to my appreciation to the original composition. </FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT color=#3300ff><FONT color=#ff9900><FONT color=#3809f7>I am really in two minds on how to appraise the article becuse it is not all my own words. If it is valued too much, I am afraid my modification does not worth that. If to devalue it, it is not only impolite but also unfair to the author thought I do not know who he is and where the article is from originally. As it is a dilemma, we had better enjoy it with appreciation rather than do anything else. I suppose it would be the best respect to the original author.</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<FONT color=#3300ff><FONT color=#ff9900>Another point, may I say "<FONT face="Times New Roman">she would be likely never to stand up the rest of her life</FONT>" ?</FONT> </FONT><br><br><br><br><br><br>

I would say, she could probably never (may never be able to) stand up for the rest of her life.
