Dear Teachers,
- I walk through the streets of the Lion island, Singapore, tidy streets, although on the roadside there are several peddled wares wheelbarrows for pedestrians dropping in and choose an ice-cream and receive a hospitable smile from the sellers. They solicit/invite by smiles that still are allowed by the government to prettify/embellish a simple feature in the middle of the modern city. There are no modern cities mature from the streets without the peddled wares wheelbarrows like that. I still wish there were still some peddled wares wheelbarrows in the corners of the street in HCM City, to keep the inherent simple feature in HCM City. Looking the twin wastebaskets standing beside each other at the public places in the streets of Singapore (one for inorganic rubbish and one for organic rubbish) I happen to remember about an environmental program classifying waste matter propagandized on TV. I don’t know when that comes true when the twin wastebaskets are rarely seen in the corners of Sai Gon. I have seen a short educational cartoon film section on Singapore TV about classifying rubbish: a boy who put rubbish into the wrong wastebasket, he didn’t hesitate to put his hand into the wastebasket and put into the right wastebasket. “ Dirty oneself, not dirty the whole community” is the message that Singaporeans want to send to everybody.
- The road Orchard makes many tourists look at it not only by imposing/monumental Christmas lights, but also by earthly pictures from above which taken by a French photographer. There was a group of pupils deliver many surveying questionnaire about pedestrians’ feeling of the pictures. That’s an educational image that I wish I could see in my country, lessons which Vietnamese students should practice in real life.
Are these sentences ok and natural?
Thanks a lot to Teachers,
Stevenukd.

Hi Stevenukd,
You are an English learner from Viet Nam, right? The writing has colorful detail, but the grammar needs some work. I don't quite understand everything you are trying to say, but let me see if I can offer some revisions to make it more natural. I did a little bit of guesswork. Let me know how it sounds to you.
