I just want to know if there are no mistakes in the text below, thanks :

I have met some new schoolmates, only a few among them who I call "true friends", who respect themselves and who have respect for other

A classic French girl and an other mixed girl are always encircled by 2 same guys, they are all between the best of my level.

The only thing I know about the French girl is her name, her sister and all her family will move to Alberta (a province of western Canada) this summer. Another one is a mixed blood of France - Ukraine - Netherlands (Holand) - Ireland and she has a look of Jessica Alba.

no you have some run ons and lack of semi colons
here it is revised or my paraphrasing of yours:


I have met some new schoolmates, only a few among them who I call "true friends". These few respect themselves and have respect for others.

A classic French girl and another mixed girl are always encircled by two same guys; they are all between the best of my level.

The only thing I know about the French girl is her name and that her sister and all her family will move to Alberta (a province of western Canada) this summer. Another one is a mixed blood of France,Ukraine, Netherlands (Holand), and Ireland. She has a look of Jessica Alba.

hope that helps!

I have met some new schoolmates, only a few among them who("whom" instead of "them who") I call "true friends", who respect themselves and who have respect for others. (I added an s and a period at the end of the sentence.)

A classic French girl and an other ("another", not "an other") mixed girl are always encircled by 2 same guys ("the same two guys"--two should be spelled out), they are all between the best of my level. (This makes absolutely no sense.)

The only thing I know about the French girl is her name, (End the sentence with a period here, capitolize the "h" in her.) her sister and all her family (Isn't her sister part of her family?) will move to Alberta (a province of western Canada) this summer. Another one is a mixed blood of (of mixed blood from) France - Ukraine - Netherlands (Holand) (Holland--two l's) - Ireland and she has a (the) look of Jessica Alba.

...France, Ukraine, Netherlands (Holland) and Ireland. This way is better.

Holland is usually spelled with two of the letter L.

"...and who have respect for other." is a problem. I would probably say "and have respect for others."

"and an other mixed girl" is a problem. Do you mean "another girl" and add that she is racially or nationally of mixed heritage?

"are always encircled by 2 same guys" is a problem. Are you meaning that "two guys are always hanging [staying, or simply omit this word] around them"? Consider adding "the" and spelling out the number and changing the order a bit, "by the same two guys".

"they are all between the best of my level" is a problem. Does this include the "two guys"? What is "my level"? Whatever you "level" does this mean that the two girls (and perhaps the two guys with them) are between you and the top people on your "level", which sounds more like the bell curve distribution (a few best, a few worst, and several grades of in between).

"The only thing I know about the French girl is..." and then you list three things. A plural verb is needed there, are.

"Another one is a mixed blood" is a problem. Late in the sentence we see it is the "other mixed girl" you wrote of earlier. At the beginning of the sentence we wonder who to attach "another one" to--the French girl's sister, the "mixed girl", one of the two guys, or someone new you are just now introducing.

I don't know about your part of the world, but where I live we don't associate national blood, in particular as you have done. It reminds me of someone describing a dog, "Its part boxer, part retriever, part terrier, and part German shepherd." Another laughed and said, "Around here we just call that a mutt [mixed heritage where the breed becomes inconsequential]." In America it is pretty well assumed that all of us are mixed somehow. We get a little concerned from time to time still about mixing between races, but for nationalities it is a non-issue. It was a surprise to read of the "blood" distinction from someone the writing suggests was European. I thought you folks looked down your noses at we crass Americans for thinking like that.

The rest looks good.
