Please Need Correction. A demostration.

Hi teachers,

Could you correct this paragraph, please?

There’s a small demonstration in a London park. The demonstrators are protesting against the Conservative Party. There aren’t a lot of them; there are only some and a few policemen near them. There are also some reporters there; in fact, there are quite a few reporters. They are interviewing some demonstrators and a few cameramen are filming the demonstration. There are also some Japanese tourists taking pictures of it.

Thanks in advance

There’s a small demonstration in a park in London ( I'm afraid I don't know whether your style is ok, but this is ok with me.). The number of demonstrators is not big. They are protesting against the Conservative Party. A few policemen are around

Hi vsuresh,

Thank you for your reply. Well, it does help. It's another point of view. But for example, I don't want to eliminate 'quite' in front of 'a few'. because I want to explain that 'quite' in front of 'a few' means a large number or more that a few but less than a lot.

'There are quite a few reporters'

Best regards
