Two reasons why the Maya civilization prospered as a civilization are:
- <em>They observed the stars and the cosmos: </em>This was very important to the development of their material and religious life, but it also helped them to <u>prevent from floods, droughts and other natural disasters caused mainly by the motion of the earth around the globe.</u>
- <em>They studied and stored their crops: </em>This contributed to<u> feeding and nourishing</u> the population of the civilization, as well as to <u>enhance their economy</u> by selling high-quality crops to other settlements of people.

In order to maintain the parallel structure sentence (3) should be revised to read, “My next stop will be old Mr. Butterworth’s for a chat with my favourite neighbour.”
In this passage each sentence starts in a similar way as the author has decided to list each activity he/she will do in his/her visit to the home town by using “My first stop….”, “My second stop….”, ““My next stop….” and “My last stop…” at the beginning of each sentence. In addition, the writer resorts to the simple future tense when he/she says what he/she will do in each stop and then he/she adds the purpose of theses action.
For example: “…., my first stop will be my uncle’s old gas station to fill the car”. In this fragment, the author starts his/her list of activities with the phrase “my first stop”, then he/she continues with a simple future tense to explain what he/she is going to do “will be my uncle’s old gas station” and finally he says the aim of this stop “to fill the car”. This grammatical structure is repeated in the subsequent sentences.
