You are doing a good job practicing your writing skills. Keep doing this exercise to improve more and more.

The expression you may use in the sentence that follows is “to make someone aware about something” which means “to educate them, giving them knowledge or understanding of a fact, situation, or danger”.

To conciencite people about the climate change, the garbage on the sea and the effects of Fukusima nuclear dissaster

Lecomte wanted to swim across the Pacific Ocean to make people aware about the climate change, the garbage we dump into the oceans and seas, and the effects of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Until your next post.

1- To make humanity aware of climate change.

2- I think it’s great, I think it’s a very good reason to do it.

3- I ran a marathon, I suffered but when I finished it, I was satisfied

Nice work with practicing your writing as consistently as you can!

You may write this one in a complete sentence:

To make humanity aware of climate change. -> Lecomte wanted to cross the Pacific Ocean to make humanity aware of climate change.

Here is a better way to write this sentence:

I think it’s great, I think it’s a very good reason to do it. -> I think it’s great because there is a very good reason to do it.

Way to go!
