“If you use this product, you will increase your strength and endurance in sports.”

Now I need to eat a lot of fat because I want to gain weigh.” 'Put on weight' is an idiom usually used when it's not on purpose. As in 'I've put on some weight since I graduated collage' or 'I put on some baby weight'

“Recycling is originally from the USA where it can be done correctly because houses are very big. But it’s more difficult here because houses are smaller.” Can also use 'since' instead of 'because'

“Negociations are on the right track since a high increase in the company’s future sales is expected”

Hi Michelleba, thank you very much. The explications are very clear.
I have to improve more..;-).

Regards!
