Phương pháp giải:

1. Xóa "the" trước "car" vì "car" không cần thiết phải được xác định.
2. Thay "was seeing" bằng "saw" vì đây là sự kiện xảy ra đột ngột và không kéo dài.
3. Thay "is studying" bằng "studies" vì cần sử dụng thì hiện tại đơn trong trường hợp này.
4. Thêm "the" trước "television" để chỉ rõ chính xác là máy truyền hình cần tắt.
5. Thay "of" bằng "at" để đúng ngữ cảnh.
6. Thêm "important" sau "is" trong câu để câu trở nên rõ ràng hơn.
7. Thêm "down" sau "wrote" để chỉ rõ việc viết xuống.
8. Thay "like" bằng "liked" để phù hợp với ngữ cảnh quá khứ.
9. Thay "full of the difficulties" thành "difficult" để câu trở nên chính xác hơn.
10. Thay "the diabetes" thành "diabetes" vì "diabetes" là một bệnh và không cần "the".
11. Thay "the most people" thành "Most people" vì "the" không cần thiết.
12. Thay "making" thành "made" để câu trở nên đồng nhất.
13. Thay "J.K > Rowling" thành "J.K. Rowling" để sửa lỗi chính tả.
