Hi,
Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?
1. Though peeling this fruit with bear hand may seem a real challenge, doing practice like this make you better at it.
2. Imagine that there was a strange crisis in the world, and you were allowed to access only three websites all your life, Which websites would they be and why?
3. Whoever’s bike crosses the finish line the last, would be the winner.
Thanks,
MG
