Salt

Today, I watched a documentary about salt on Discovery channel. There were lots of things I didn’t know about salt. But the most interesting one was that ocean water is undrinkable. If we drink ocean water, our body will try to let the salt out by making water. And the amount of water that we make is much more than the water that we drunk. Maybe I would bring a couple of water bottles with me when I go on a boat.

Today, I watched a documentary about salt on the channel of Discovery. There were lots of things I don't know about salt, but the most interesting one was that ocean water is undrinkable. If we drink ocean water, our body will try to discharge the salt out by urination. The amount of water that we discharged is much more than the water that we had drunk

You corrected some of them correctly, thank you.

Thanks very much for your corrections.
I just want to ask you a question. Why do we have to use " did not" instead of "didn't"? I usually use "didn't" for short.

KMagicWhy do we have to use " did not" instead of "didn't"? I usually use "didn't" for short.
In spoken English,yes—'didn't' is not precisely a word; it is merely a transcription of how we pronounce 'did not'. We should not use contractions in written texts, except for casual letters and notes.
