Hi Alc,

Here are my thoughts on your writing:

> She doesn't want a boyfirend she think she can't satisfy.

I don't understand what does this setence mean. My guess is that either she
doesn't want any boyfriend because she by some mysterious reason doesn't
satisfy any one or she doesn't want a boyfriend she won't be satisfied with.

> Correct the essay that have not been looked at.

1) essay - has (not have)
2) look at = just to observe; I would use "correct"/"revise"/"review" instead

Correct the essay that still has not been reviewed.

> You can tell from her style that she french.

You can tell by her style that she is a Frenchwoman.

> I hope for your sake you get paid what you want.

I hope you'll get what you want. (or I just didn't understand what you mean)

"for your sake" ~= "for your own good", "for the benefit of yours"

I really don't know what this phrase is doing in this sentence.

"get paid" = "to get salary", "to get money for something"
Maybe this phrase can be used idiomatically, but have never heard it. For
instance, "pay back" can be used idiomatically in this way: "We will pay
them back for the trick they played on us."

> I won't be able to fit in your shirt.

I'd use the verb "fit" in a reverse way: "Your shirt won't fit me (since
I'm a bit fat)." Don't know whether your variant is acceptable.

> What do you care what people think about you.

Do not understand. Did you mean "Why do you care what other people

think about you?"

> If i am/get paid less than 2000 dollars, I won't accept.

If I am offered less than two thousand dollars a month, I won't accept this
job. (Though, I would think twice before rejecting sich a lucrative offer;
$2k/month is an offer not to be sneezed at

).

As always, native speakers may disagree.

P.S. Alc, I would recommend that you drill through Merphy's English Grammar
in Use books. These may significantly improve your writing. (At least they can
teach how to properly refer to Frenchwomen and use have/has.)
