				| 
 |  
				| 1 It's only after working alongside with Americans, did I realize what true American life is like.
 
 I am pretty sure I need to rephrase it....
 
 2
 Is it *tie your shoes* instead of *tie your shoe laces*?
 
 3
 I don't have *strengh* or *energy* to walk up this hill.
 
 Which one sounds better?
 
 4. Has the rain gotten *thinner* or *smaller*?
 
 5 toaster pastry=pastry that is smaller enough to fit into a toaster?
 Thanks guys

				| 1. Another possibility: Not until working alongside Americans did I realize what true American life is like.  (I also deleted the comma and "with." You can choose either "alongside" or "with," but not both.) |  |
