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!
