Hello.

I am writing an research paper for my English class.
My title is Foorborne and Food allergy
My professor told me to do 3 assignments before I submit my final paper.
1. one paraphrase
2. one direct quote
3. one summary

I tried to write these 3, but I do not have a confidence that I have correct English grammar.

Could you please look at my English sentences?
If you don't mind, could you please rewrite in correct grammar if you find mistakes?

Thank you very much!!

1. one paraphrase

2. one quote

According to Sodhi’s study, “when both parents have allergies, there is a 67% chance that the children will also have them” (66).

3. one summary

It's better to try not to take the food and the drink which were polluted by the harmful substance to protect us against foodborne.

Thank you!

Hang on, I have to correct the below, sorry.

If it helps, I'm a freelance writer, my primary language is English, and I've written technical documents (among other texts) for several years.
