Could you please help me with the following sentences:
Describing a photo, can we say :
1) I spot, I notice...(or should we say I have spotted, have noticed, etc.)
2) I can see four people. They are sitting in a kitchen.
( do we use ‘the' only if we mean our kitchen - a precise room: ‘Iam here..in the kitchen!)
Describing a chart:
3) We can see that the number was increasing/ increased in cold seasons - winter and autumn.
4) All my family members mean '(the) home' for me
5) They have to cope with various problems: lack of money, a house and food.
6) The number of the homeless in American shelters was increasing because the conditions in municipal shelters were getting better.
7) They are able to organize actions to collect money for building/ to build new shelters
8) The majority of the homeless die because they freeze over during cold seasons, we cannot permit it any more.
9) Thank you for your last/latest letter

Thank you for your help,
Julie
