Can you change the following sentences from informal to formal please?
1- "There’s a real need for English classes- some of the families who’ve recently settled in the area are very isolated- especially the women"
2- "A lot of the older members of our community are lonely but they won’t travel to the college for evening classes because they’re too frightened- and the bus service is useless. They’d like to carry on learning, and get out of the house, but they see the college as a place for youngsters"
3-"Lots of courses in the evening, but not very convenient if you have young kids-why can’t you provide more stuff in the daytime?"
4- "I’m not interested in flower arranging and stuff like that- i want to have a go on computer- things that’d help me get a job"
5- "I went in once to ask about courses but the staff were a bit snooty and unfriendly- i wouldn’t go back"
6-"Why don’t you do more interesting courses in things like world music, languages and art appreciation? Not everyone who lives round here is stupid, you know."
7- "I’d love to come to your classes but I’ve no-one to look after the kids"
8- "I wish they did salsa classes-or cookery. Me and my mates would go to that"
9-"I’d like to learn French, but i can’t drive and the buses stop after 7pm.
First of all stop using contractions and words such as "Lots", "stupid", "stuff", "youngsters" and replace them with "many", "simple", "crafts", etc.
Stop using dashes and use periods, commas and semicolons where necessary.
I’ll do the first one for you:
Some of the families who recently settled in the area are very isolated, especially the women. There is a real need for English classes for them to attend.
