I've tried correcting these, could you look at them?

Could you take a look at my corrections?

1 I like it more here even if it is further from my house. OK

2 When there are 130 dollars rather than/instead of 120, I pocket 10. BOTH instead better

3 I can look at her without her seeing me. OK

4 Now that I've seen her I want to see him. OK

5 This car looks/seems long. OK

6 You have a bigger chance of not getting paid by your employer if... NOT SURE

7 Don't make noise while drinking/you are drinking. BOTH

Thank you

alc24I like it more here even if it is further from my house.
Just as an aside, while "more" is correct, "better" is more common in this sort of usage.

We say, "I like A more [than B]" and "I like A better [than B]" with about equal frequence,

but "I like it better this way" is twice as common as "I like it more
