Part 3 Could you please proofread these sentences? I'm learning English

Hello, everybody!

Could someone please proofread my vocabulary flashcards? It shouldn't take too much time for a native English speaker, and I can't proofread the sentences myself.

Please suggest better alternatives for the sentences that don't seem right. I really need to learn this vocabulary for university.

Thank you!
