punch/illustrated/punchy

Question

Your examples are not illustrated, so it seems a bit punchy/punch.

Your explaination is really illuminating one/illuminating.

The only souce of illumation we have is from sun, as we don't have any bulb or tublelight at/in home.

I feel faint if I don't sleep for 8 hours at least a day.

While I was up/in/on the stage to collect my award, I felt dizzy and fell down.

I have conflated all the five films story in this new film. So you can watch five films in one film.

Your explanation does not jar when I contrast it with my teacher's explanation.

User_garyYour examples are not illustrated, so it seems a bit punchy/punch. What are you trying to say? What is punchy? And what do you mean by punchy?

Your explaination is really illuminating ~~one/illuminating~~.

The only souce of illumation we have is from thesun as ~~we don't have any bulb or tublelight at/in home~~.as we have no electricity in the house/at home

I feel faint if I don't sleep for 8 hours at least a day. ok

While I was ~~up/in/~~on the stage to collect my award, I felt dizzy and fell down. "collapsed" would be more colloquial.

I have conflated all ~~the~~ five films ~~story~~ in this new film. So you can watch five films in one film.

Your explanation does not jar when I contrast it with my teacher's explanation. Grammatically ok, but what do you mean?

I applied the following meaning of the dictionary :

punch (EFFECT)

noun
the power to be interesting and have a strong effect on people:
e.g. I felt the performance/speech/presentation lacked punch.

punchy

adjective
expressing something effectively and with power:
e.g. a short punchy presentation/speech
The article is written in his usual punchy style.
Your explanation does not jar when I contrast it with my teacher's explanation. Grammatically ok, but what do you mean?

I mean that your explanation of this topic is not so good when I compare my teacher's explanation with your's about the same topic.

Or

I mean that I don't agree with your explanation of this topic, as my teacher had explained it in some other way and I believe in that (teacher's explanation).

The punchy sentence seems odd as 'punchy' is usually a good thing, yet your wording makes it sound as though it is a fault.

Jar - your sentence means the opposite to your intention. 'Your' explanation is the same as the teachers. If you want to say it isn't, you should say 'your explanation jars with my teachers'. 'does not jar' means it agrees with it.
