Hi
Please help me with sentences.
1. After that gruesome incident, she gave it up on life. ( She lost hope.)
Is this expression correct?
2. She walked toward/towards the garden.
Please tell me the difference.
3. We hope you will cherish the memories of this event for a very long time/ for the days to come.
Which sounds better?

Hi V She gave up on life. She walked toward the garden. Towards is also OK; they're interchangeable.

I feel pleased in welcoming you. Is this grammatical?
Strictly speaking, yes - but I would not use it because it is very awkward.
Also, it takes away the emphasis on welcoming someone and makes it look as if you are telling your audience how pleased you feel personally.
It's my great pleasure to welcome you...
I am please
