Sorry......I don't understant what you mean? You mean that we don't need to correct the right sentences??

I mean it's ok to make mistakes in learning English (or anything). Since there are some major errors in your writing, it would be better if they can be corrected in your early stage of learning.:)

Lisa, you're right about this:
"Why are you not happy?" Or you may say "Why aren't you happy?"
Good job!

怡玲, you got it right: "Are you looking at me?" Try to fix the other sentence.:)

Good job, girls! You've been working hard on this, and it's time to let you know some possible answers to these sentences.

1. I'm so bored, and I want to listen to (some) rock music.
Ex. Studying all day is boring. (令人無趣的)
Ex. He was bored because he studied all day. (感到無趣的)
Ex. Nobody likes him because he's such a boring person. (令人無趣的)

2. I don't want to leave here.
*原句應是打錯字

3. I hate here. I want to leave here.
*大部份情況下: to + 原形V

4. Why are you not happy?
(Why aren't you happy?)
*"Happy"是形容詞, 不是動詞

5. I don't like to stay in this bag;I want to go outside.
*like to V

6. Where can I go?
*助動詞如can, would, should, could, might, will, do等, 其後須加原形動詞

7. Is there any puppy ?
*有: there is/ there are

8. I wish Irene would not give us tests anymore!!
*~wish (that) S 過去式動詞

9. Though you hurt me so much (Though you broke my heart/Though you made me sad),I still love you very much.
*原句語意不順

10. Are you looking at me? Come on! You can get closer (to me)!
*"Near"是形容詞/副詞, 不是動詞.
