[交流] 【Funny】>>>>>> Let's play #03 <<<<<<

Hello there, this is the third of a series of posts. Let's play with English and that's what it is all about in the English Cafe, isn't it.

For every post, an English sentence will be shown. You are asked to vote for whether it is correct or not. If you think that’s wrong, then please give your correction. That would be great if you can give any explanation on it as well. At last, the best answer and two runner ups will be selected. It is believed that the administrators will reward you heavily.

Ok, here are the sentences, please cast the vote and drop a note.

... The people were not unwilling to help him, but feared his family would blame them for making the old man wounded. ...

The winners are:

Best answer:
First runner up:
Second runner up:

You may be also interested in the previous plays: Play #01 & Play #02.

They were not unwilling to help him, just feared his family would blame them for making the old man wounded.

1. I think "the people" is not specific and may make confusions as it normally represents not several or few, but a bunch of individuals. How can people make one man wounded?  

2. Just is more proper than but. Also, you could say "were willing" followed by "but".

“the people are willing to help~~~~~~”      I think that is ok,“not unwilling”seems a little uncomfortable!!
