Nancy: #1--a phrase is more that one word;-) #2--you need to add a dependent clause to the one you were given; #3--this is a dependent clause--here you needed to add an independent clause.

Irena: #1--good apart from a missing article; #2--good; #3--yes, but remember the punctuation needed between independent clauses;-)
Ying: #1--You might want to think about this--you appear to have two different subjects ("I" and "most people"); #2--good; #3--this is another dependent clause.
