Here are the corrected paragraphs with all spelling, capitalization, and punctuation mistakes fixed.
Paragraph 1: The Blue Whale
The blue
whale is the
biggest animal on
Earth. Some are as long as 100
feet and
weigh 300,000 pounds. In the late 1800s and early 1900s
, these gentle giants were hunted almost to extinction because humans wanted their blubber to make oil
, fuel
, soap
, and candles.
Their baleen was used to make brushes and
corsets. The blue whale population is now only one percent of
its original size.
Paragraph 2: Healthy Eating
In order to remain
healthy, you must eat good nutritious food.
Breakfast is very important
, especially if
you’re going to school because you can’t pay attention if
you’re hungry. You should eat
fruits and
vegetables with every
meal and avoid food that is high in
cholesterol and saturated fat.
It’s also important to drink
a lot of
liquids every day.
