Grammar
the same/take note
Dear teachers,
I've already asked this question but unfortunately it hasn't been answered.
What's wrong with these sentences? I know which versions of them are correct, but I am not sure if the underlined sentences are considered to be wrong or not. Maybe the same thing could be said in two different ways.
I would be grateful if you told me if these sentences are wrong or not and if my corrections are OK. It's very important to me. Thanks in advance
1.We are going to stay in a nice hotel- the same like famous actors.
2.I am interested in learning foreign languages and so I have taken note on your offer.
3.You had better do something with you hair so I could look at you when we meet.
My corrections:
1.We are going to stay in a nice hotel- the same as famous actors. (is like also correct?)
2.I am interested in learning foreign languages so I have taken note of your offer. (can I also say: and so I have taken note on your offer?)
3. You had better do something with your hair so that I could look at you when we meet. (can I use only so, not "so that" in this sentence?)

Here's what I would say: We are going to stay in/at a nice hotel, just like famous actors. I wouldn't use the same as here at all. I might say: We stayed at the same hotel as famous actors.
