1. " I always pursue perfection in every thing." Is this sentence right?
2. " You were being uncooperative, a little bit surly with people."
What's the sentence mean?

1. More or less, yes. I'd make everything one word, but OK, apart from that.
2. You weren't being helpful, you were being a bit bad-tempered.

Best wishes,
Ian
