Can somebody please commment? my precis title was:
Envy: the end of happiness

The precis was to be 100 words long but i think mine took around 120 words.

My Word meanings:
Acrimonius - a) bitter
Calligraphy- b) handwriting
Demise d) death
Incendiary c) causing fire
Essay - c) Attempt

My opposites:

Melancholy - b - happy
Obliterate - a - preserve
Ally - b - foe
Vulgar - c - exquisite
Pretend - d- substantiate

My Idioms:

(these are not the exact sentences that i made)

Make for: (means to substitute for something, as when you go for camping you can use fire wood which would make for a stove)

Discretion is the better part of valour (i made a tiny one sentence story of this, but what does this mean?)

Look down upon (to view with contempt, as rich people look down upon poor people)

Iconoclast (one who destroys cold cherished traditions, as Our Prophet did. Literally idol breaker)

A swan song (I dont know what this meant, so i left it)

My Correct sentences

ii - The climate of pakistan is better than that of England
iii - he swore upon God
iv - You ought to regard him as your benefactor
v - My friend is very ill, I find it likely that he will die soon.
vii - When i see her I shall deliver her your gift.

My change the narration

i - On Monday he informed that his son was coming that day.
ii - They asked him, "Let us know where you are going next week?" (I think i have made a mistake here but i dont exactly remember)

iii - He asked if she had gone the day before.
iv - He swore upon God that he did not know her nickname.
viii - He asked how i would manage it.
