Tip #1: We always say "a few..._____". So, a few people, a few candies, a few hours later etc.

Tip #2: You can say 7:00am or 7:00 in the morning, but you don't need to say both. Choose one or the other.

Tip #3: We drove for 10 minutes. You don't need to mention distance. We assume that you are refering to the distance in terms of time.

Tip #4: Make sure to use capitals at the beginnings of your sentences.
