Eager to do something means that someone really really want to do something;

Abroad means out of your country. For example, if I want to go abroad, maybe I would go to the USA, UK, Japan, Korea......

Documentary means TV programs or films which record the history, real things that happened.

Are they correct?

Hi Chicken!

It seems that you understand all of the words very well. :) I've corrected a few mistakes below.

X ...someone really want to do...
Better: someone realy wants to do...

X If I want to go abroad...
Better: If I wanted to go abroad...

Well done!

Thank you again, Kip. I think I should do my homework more carefully next time. :)

Practice makes perfect. ;)

PS Don't worry about making mistakes! It's part of the process. We are all constantly learning - if we are alive. ;)

I will try my best not to make mistakes. (Although I don't even know if there's any mistake in this sentence.)

P.S. Should I use "Is there any mistake?" or "Are there any mistakes?". Thanks! :)

Hi Chicken!

I've corrected a couple of mistakes below. :)

X Although I don't even know if there's any mistake in this sentence.
Better: Although I don't even know if there are any mistakes in this sentence.

>>P.S. Should I use "Is there any mistake?" or "Are there any mistakes?". Thanks! :)<<

You have two possibilities here. You can say:

Is there a mistake (one mistake) in my sentence?
OR
Are there any mistakes (one or more mistakes) in my sentence.
