The whole world is Bella's dance floor. She learned to dance from mimicking dance steps from several dancers. Every time she hears a beat, she can't help but dance gracefully to it. Upon winning a contest, she revealed that dancing is the only way in which she could express herself well. When she talks, she is incredibly awkward, but when she dances, she is like a whole new person.

Bella is not good at expressing herself with her word. However, she can express herself by dancing, which is the only way. She revealed that when she won a contest.

1. Use the plural noun since you're making a generalisation, not talking about just one word.
2. End here. Alternately, you can change the sentence to "The only way she can express herself is through dance".
3. Use the past tense here.
4. We use "by (verb)ing" when we talk about the method by which someone does something.
Daniel loves mornings, especially because he likes to wake up early to see the sunrise. For him, a new day is a new chance. One thing that he does not like about mornings is making his bed. He says it is not needed because he is going to use it again later tonight. After watching some videos online, he learned that making the bed is a good sign to say "I am ready for this morning." Since then, he has happily made his bed.

Daniel is a morning person, but doesn't like to make his bed in the morning. That is the only thing that he does not like among what to do in the mornings. However, after he watched some videos online, he changed his mind and has become to think that making bed is a sign to say that he get ready. Since then, he has been willing to make his bed.

1. Mention the subject since this is an independent clause. Alternately, simply remove the comma before "but".
2. This is more natural.
3. We use "come to (verb)" when someone slowly starts doing something, but we use "become" before a noun or adjective.
4. Use a determiner here. You can also use "his" instead.
5. This auxiliary verb is more accurate here.

1. You don't need an article since "fuel" can be used as an uncountable noun.
2. We talk about fuel FOR a certain time or purpose. Use "the" in this kind of sentence pattern since you're referring to each specific day.
3. We generally don't need a comma before this conjunction.
4. This is the correct spelling.
Larry often complains about the amount of homework that their teacher gives them. He thought that it was impossible to finish even though most of his classmates are able to pass their homework days before the deadline. He consulted the best student in class who told him that focus and time management are the keys to solving his problem. That night, he set a timer and focused on completing his essay. Needless to say, he was able to pass his homework a day early.

Larry believes it is impossible to finish his homework on time. Considering some of the students managed to finish before the deadline, he asked the best student how to finish that. The keys were focus and time management. After he implemented that solution, he managed to pass his homework.
