  1. You are doing good work. I noticed, however, two problems.

    1. Bank

    In this case, it means "to bounce off."

    2. former

    In this case, it means "a person who used to be something." So, the person used to be a star midfielder, but he is not one now.

    Otherwise, good work!!

  3. Good. But I don't understand this definition: "used in some schools to show which class student is in, according to how many years they." This is different from the definition of "former" that I suggested.
