Grammar
Could you please help me correct this for my book?
I've translated this and would need help making sure it's ok?
1 She's going to have a low/small salary this month as she was sick.
2 I was scared he'd see it. There was no point in her coming.
3 The nurse who took my blood test/simple was nice.
4 There are different things you need to know how to do in order to become professional.
5 I had heard the song before it played the radio.
6 The train pulled/was pulling in just as the other was pulling in.
7 This train goes through stop X without stopping at it. So either get off now or at the next stop.
8 Do you have so little work to do that you can spend your time on the computer at work?
9 The computer doesn't seem to work/be working.
10 When I started getting into the show, she was watching season 2 which is why I know what happens later in the show.
When she turned me onto the show, she was watching season 2 which is why....
Thank you

1 She's going to have a low/small salary this month as she was sick. [both are 'ok' grammatically. I would probably use 'small'.
