All people can't enter the program to become astronauts. One example is that NASA is requiring higher education. In the text it states," this time NASA is requiring higher levels of education." Another example is that there are challenging parts for training. Also in the text it states," there are many challenging parts to the astronaut training, and the canidates must successfuly complete them all." Astronauts all can't enter the program because there are challenging part to successes.

All people can't enter the program to become astronauts.
- I am changing "all people can't" to "not all people can", because it sounds like nobody can become an astronaut!
- Edited for word choice; Not all people can train to become astronauts.
One example is that NASA is requiring higher education.
- I would change "example" to "obstacle" so people know that it is a challenge.
- One obstacle to becoming an astronaut is that NASA is requiring higher education.
In the text it states," this time NASA is requiring higher levels of education."
- Shift the first quotation mark over to the right so it is hugging the first word of the quote!
- Edited for punctuation; In the text it states, "this time NASA is requiring higher levels of education."
Another example is that there are challenging parts for training.
- Again, I would only change "example" to "obstacle".
- Edited for word choice; Another obstacle is that there are challenging aspects of the training.
Also in the text it states," there are many challenging parts to the astronaut training, and the canidates must successfuly complete them all."
- Watch out for that first quotation mark! Try to copy quotes directly from the article so the spelling stays the same.
- Edited for punctuation and spelling; Also in the text it states, "there are many challenging parts to the astronaut training, and the candidates must successfully complete them all."
Astronauts all can't enter the program because there are challenging part to successes.
- I am changing "Astronauts all can't" to "Not all potential astronauts", because "potential" tells the reader that they are not astronauts yet.
- Edited for word choice; Not all potential astronauts can enter the program because there are challenging roadblocks to success.
Great job! I would say that the main thing to work on for next time is to pick quotes that show your point, but are not too similar to what you had said in the previous sentence. This is so sentences aren't repetitive, and you can pick a quote that shows a specific example of your general point.

Earth day this year would be celebrated at home.

- Edited for word choice and capitalization; Earth Day this year will be celebrated at home, due to COVID-19.
One thing they would do is to sing Earth day sing out.

Boston Dynamics' of robot are assisting during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

One example is that it helps people not to get close to people who are sick.
- If "robots" was plural in the last sentence, we have to make sure that they are pluralized in this sentence too. I think that since you only use one example, we can use "for example" instead of "one example", because that implies that there are more than one.
