Here's some tips about formal language:

1. Usually, it's best to replace abbreviations with their original word. For example, if you wanted to say "it's", you'd say "it is".

2. Use vocabulary words that are more descriptive. This doesn't nessesarily mean more complicated words. For example, if you were to say "Jellyfish can live without causing harm to people", instead of "live", you could say "thrive".

3. This is just a Grammar mistake - "jellyfishes" isn't a word, but "jellyfish" is (just like "fishes" isn't a word).

Hope this helps!

Write a short paragraph about 100 words about the topic your favourite place in the world
bagirrra123 [75]
My favorite place is the beach, where I practice my hobby of fishing, which I love very much. I feel so happy from the start of the day that I start getting ready to go out for fishing and contemplate the beauty of nature.

I find it wonderful to have a happy and fun time at the same time. I can enjoy the beach and see the water and sunset. Also take advantage of the sun’s rays and get vitamin D. And also hunting and bringing out the energy inside me.

I liked these activities very much. I think I loved it because my father shared with me, and now my younger brother comes with me to learn from me. All this helps me to continue my hobby.

I often think of trying other ways to have fun like riding a fishing boat and spending time on it. I might do that in the future.
